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.

Awesome! - Lots and lots of animals! Nice playground. I can walk around here for a week! I've been there since I was in a buggy and it's still breathtaking! I love animals.

Worth a visit - We stopped here to kill some time whilst waiting for our check in for the over ferry to hull. The zoo was amazing, staff were friendly and it was clean. Sign posts all round to tell you where each animal were. Was bigger than we thought and could have spent more time there. Would go back if we were close by.

Great zoo - Very good, lots too see. Oceanarium is a highlight. Lots for you kids. Sadly the butterflies appeared closed, which was the only letdown.

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.

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.

Really bad experience in Blijdorp! Big Changes Necessary! - This zoo made me go absolutely mental, there was a sort of trap festival literally on the other side of the polar bears inclosure. Absolutely disgusting to hear! How do you allow that? Trains are constantly going across, you can hear cars where they have red pandas & the tapir. I was so so sad to see the location of this zoo, which brings zero tranquility for me & animals.
Butterfly area completely abandoned & zero information about it, Australia & Europe areas closed. With purchasing a plush of 11€, 20 cents go to an actual cause.
Inclosure's need to be bigger, the zoo needs to be bigger. Dedicate more money from your customer's to make this zoo better. I don't recommend going unless they start making big changes. Please, please, please don't spend your money there.
