Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp): Skip The Line

One of Europe’s most beautiful zoos, Diergaarde Blijdorp Rotterdam Zoo is a naturalistic oasis where you can see creatures from around the world. Red pandas, tigers, elephants, sea lions, silverback gorillas and more call this place home. This conservation-minded zoo will have you feeling like you've undertaken an expedition - and you won't even need to leave Rotterdam!
From the butterfly-filled Amazonica to the polar bears of the Ice Cave , you'll be amazed by the animal encounters on offer here. You can even get 'underwater' in the fully covered Oceanium , where you'll watch sharks flit around splashing turtles.
The playful gorilla family call African Gorilla Island home, and the Savanna gets you eye-to-eye with giraffes. And there's so much more to explore! This sprawling zoo is full of wildlife secrets and natural surprises, so grab the family and make a day of it!
And it's not just for show: Rotterdam Zoo also supports a number of conservation projects, and is one of the top ten zoos in the field of breeding programmes for endangered species.
