Fantastic zoo! It is massive! Make sure you wear comfy shoes because I couldn’t believe at the size of the site. We first explored the aquarium which was so much fun. The shark tunnel was very impressive. Great value for money and we stayed the full day and managed to see everything. Lots of ice cream stops along the way. There we even an indoor play area which was great to get out the sun for a little while. Great to see beautiful big enclosure for all the animals. The gift shop was also really good
Overall this is a really lovely zoo. It is set out beautifully and it is easy to wander from one region to the next. The aquarium is particularly beautiful and we could have spent hours just in there. It was mesmerising. My biggest disappointment was the polar bear enclosure. This actually made me very sad and a bit angry. The polar bears were outside in the heat, in nothing like their natural habitat. It was almost 30 degrees the day we visited and the bears looked lethargic and unwell. There is no way a polar bear should be subjected to temperatures like that. There is no attempt whatsoever to create an environment that would be suitable for them. There is a pool to swim in but otherwise they are in a hot Savannah-like enclosure. It upset all of us.
Nice zoo cozy eateries and nice staff
Worst zoo there is, much better go to another! Made for money at the expense of animals and humans
Zoo Blijdorp almost always good.
Lots of money paid for bad zoo Many animals not present such as; rhino, hippopotamus, chimpanzees, gorilla, wolf, fox, panther and others felines.., lots of fish a lot of fish and very hot in there
Best zoo in the Netherlands! My family and I had a great time in Blijdorp Zoo. It's centrally located in Rotterdam. Easily accessible. You will see a whole lot of unique wild animals. Very interesting. There are snackbars and restaurants if you're hungry! Have fun!
Beautiful zoo, the most beautiful I have seen in the Netherlands.
Really good zoo, but it really needs either a “adults only” day every month or so, or there needs to be more staff about, particularly in the aquarium. Overwhelmingly noisy in the aquarium with screaming children, despite the signs saying “keep the noise down for the animals welfare”. I had to tell one family off (mother and children) as the kids were banging on the glass of some iguanas and mum was just stood there. Really unpleasant start to an otherwise lovely zoo. I get that children should be allowed to go but there really is some bad behaviour that will be distressing the animals.
It remains a nice zoo! Lovely large enclosures and plenty to see the aquarium is totally fantastic and the penguins are definitely feeding take a look
