Surprising! - On a very cold Friday we decided to go here. It was very quiet and that appealed to us. We really love zoos but we had never been here before. It seems to be a very old zoo but amazingly large and the animals seem to have enough space. We didn't think Blijdorp was so big. They are also committed to species and nature conservation of global species and areas and you can read that everywhere
Seen beautiful animals and learned things again. Have a nice day.

I LOVE ZOOS - I love visiting big cities zoos.
Diergaarde Blijdorp in Rotterdam is a great attraction, for sure!
Get ready to spend a whole day BUT you will never regret it!
Please, go and visit that bio-park, it's eco friendly and most of animals whose care is assured are endangered species in nature.

Highly recommended - Blijdorp is a must for young and old and especially for (hobby) photography this is highly recommended. For young children fun to learn animals and for older ones fun to reminisce.

Great day out - OK so you have sometimes a bit wary of Zoo's You never know if the animal welfare will be good. No worries about Rotterdam Zoo all the animals we saw were perfectly looked after and all seem quite happy. This Zoo is huge and if like me you have problems walking you may have to get in one of the wheelchairs the Zoo has you can use them for a €50 you get the money back it did make my day a bit easier. Great cafe on site. We didn't manage to make it all the way round so we will be going back.

Day away - Nice spacious park. The animals usually have enough space and there is a lot of greenery. The park is divided into different continents, so you can easily find everything. The park has plenty of benches if you want to rest.

Too bad. - Today I visited Blijdorp, which was in my memory as the most beautiful in the Netherlands. At the moment a huge deception, many empty pens, few animals and parts of the park are being cultivated. Weather wasn't too bad either but we don't whine about that. Horeca screaming expensive and all for a little 30 euros pp.

Poor employee and communication restaurant Terrace room - Would have been a pretty good day, but a few things ruined this. If you arrive at the restaurant after a long walk, you are told that an event will take place and we are not allowed in. It says online that it was open until 15:00, but we could not enter at 14:00 (Terrace Hall). Would have loved to have sat quietly somewhere to eat, but that was already too much to ask. Eventually later found another restaurant that was open. Was probably asking too much of the employee to tell us about this. By the way, there were mice all over the floor in this restaurant (Oewanja Lodge), so that can't be good either.
The rest of the day was okay. Many empty quarters, renovations and renewals. In itself enjoyed the animals that were there. Bit of a shame the Oceanium was full of screaming kids.

Limited concession for disabled people - Firstly, the concession for disabled people was very poor… only 9 euros off. The zoo itself was very poorly set out. Very confusing and wasted loads of time trying to navigate it. The food in the main restaurant was 10/10. Animals were ok and seemed happy enough although was overall crowded with screaming kids and some screaming adults. Maybe skip if you are just visiting for a weekend in Rotterdam… better places to see.
