Artis is a beautiful zoo, with exhibits well built! The elephant enclosure is quite impressive! It might not have the variety of other zoos( don t get me wrong there are a lot of animals) but you leave feeling content and satisfied, and quality of life for the animals is definitely better than variety. What I absolutely loved is this building where you enter and there are tiny monkeys( Pygmy marmosets I think?) roaming about, free, no cages, sloths, bats and shrews. You get the feeling you are actually walking in the animals natural habitat and they are all around you, and you can get pretty decent shots, especially of the marmosets, which are extremely cute! If you have time in Amsterdam definitely visit artis!
