Rotterdam Zoo and Oceanium

Discover the world’s wildlife. Wander the continents and venture under the sea for a day at this zoo and aquarium in Rotterdam.

• You may be in the Netherlands, but for one day you’ll be transported around the world. Stroll through Asia, Africa, and North America and experience their amazing wildlife. Oceanium is the zoo’s own water continent. Feel like you’re walking along the sea bed as you look up at the sharks, sea turtles, rays, and other ocean creatures that swim above you.
• Rotterdam’s Blijdorp Zoo is one of the most beautiful zoos in Europe. It's also officially one of the best zoos in the region, repeatedly having been selected as the best zoo in the Benelux Region. That’s Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. You’ll get to see rare animals like red pandas, Asian elephants and even a black rhino. The zoo proudly supports conservation efforts and its breeding programmes for endangered species is one of the best in the world.
• An ideal day out with the kids. Aside from all the animals, the zoo has multiple playgrounds. Indoors you have Biotopia, where little ones can slide down the side of a humpback whale or hunt for fossils in the sand box. Outside they can monkey-around in Oewanja children’s jungle.
