Diergaarde Blijdorp, also known as Rotterdam Zoo, is a well-regarded attraction in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The zoo offers a diverse collection of animals from various parts of the world, housed in spacious and naturalistic enclosures. Visitors appreciate the park's layout, which allows for easy navigation and provides a pleasant walking experience. The zoo is known for its conservation efforts and educational programs, which many find informative and engaging.

The Oceanium, an aquarium section featuring a walk-through tunnel, is often highlighted as a standout attraction. Many visitors enjoy the opportunity to see marine life up close. The butterfly garden is another popular area, offering a colorful and immersive experience.

While generally well-maintained, some visitors note that certain areas or enclosures may benefit from updates or renovations. The zoo's size is considerable, which most see as a positive, allowing for a full day's worth of exploration. However, this can also mean a lot of walking, which might be challenging for some visitors.

Food options within the zoo receive mixed reviews. While some find the offerings satisfactory, others suggest bringing your own food for better value and variety.

Overall, Diergaarde Blijdorp is viewed as a good zoo experience, suitable for families, animal enthusiasts, and tourists alike. Its commitment to animal welfare and conservation is appreciated by many visitors.

Blijdorp na jaren weer eens bezocht. Blijdorp heb ik ervaren als een grote kinderspeeltuin. Voor kinderen een ideale plaats om te zijn denk ik. De dieren worden goed verzorgd maar niet altijd goed te spotten door alle groenvoorziening. Vooral de vogels zijn ingesloten door veel groen. De grote katachtige idem. Echt jammer, de oude leeuw en zijn dames nog steeds geen nieuw gezelschap. Wat maakt Blijdorp zo bijzonder , ik zou het niet weten, de mooiste dierentuin van Europa, echt niet. Heel teleurstellend , ga er ook niet meer naar toe. zonde van het geld

Diergaarde Blijdorp is one of the better zoos I have visited. The zoo is very family and in particular child-friendly. A ticket is a bit pricey and it’s a little crowded inside (it was sunny when we visited).

Diergaarde Blijdorp is een mooie dierentuin waar de dieren goed worden verzorgd. Ook hebben de dieren gelukkig genoeg leefruimte. Een van de beste dierentuinen van Nederland.
