Skip the line at Rotterdam Zoo Blijdorp. See Amazonica butterflies, Oceanium marine life, and Africa and Asia exhibits in one full day.
“It was incredible to see all the different animals in person as I would likely never be able to see them elsewhere. We arrived around 12:30 and was there til close, it is definitely a full day experience as we managed to see just over half of what is offered. The weather was a little cold and we had some rain so the outdoor animals ended up inside with exceptions of a few but amazing non the less. It would be a great day out with nicer weather and arriving a little earlier than we did but I would defiantly go again to see the rest of the incredible animals…”
