Diergaarde Blijdorp Reviews

Very nice zoo. Caregivers take the time to answer questions.

So much to do here. You could spend two days to do it all justice.

Worth bringing a picnic and spending the whole day here. We visited with two toddlers in October 2017 when the zoo was celebrating its birthday and so there were discounted entry deals.

We did about 50% of the zoo, and what we saw was fun, engaging and memorable. Parking was easy, but many locals had also cycled there. There are no pay machines I the car parks, your zio entry ticket will get you out if you remember to tell the staff to activate it.

The underground polar bear gallery was amazing and unexpected. As were the undersea tunnels, though they were busy. We saw giraffes, elephants and zebras in great habitats and the kids enjoyed hoe close you got to the crocodiles.

Potentially pricey but we'll worth it if you pack a picnic and make a full day of it.

Nice zoo. There are many different animals that live in a well-copied natural habitat. It remains a bit pathetic but Blijdorp provides enough space and a natural environment for the animals

Great and beautiful stay for the polar bears of Blijdorp. The polar bears have a lot of space both on land and in the water and come close to the water under water.

Blijdorp remains a beautiful zoo, but in the winter some stays are a bit desolate.

Really a beautiful zoo, spacious accommodation for the animals! Good catering facilities, good playgrounds for children! Many different and special animal species too, well deserved 5 stars

Parking very badly arranged whole rows at the parking meter.
MUCH TOO LITTLE PARKING AREAS. NO RECOMMENDED THIS ZOO

Beautiful park to walk on a beautiful day and watch animals.
We are all members at home

Again had a great day, a sunny day and again saw beautiful animals

Tip: book a tour for 3.95 pp. and a volunteer tells you the most unusual beast stories of rhinos, elephants and penguins. The money goes to animal sanctuaries in Africa and Asia.

The perfect place to rest! Great atmosphere with amazing animals. Public transport is easy to get there. It takes at least 3 hours to see all animals. I would recommend!

it is the perfect place to be if you love animals i have been coming since i was 6 years old and i am now 12 it is sooooooooo super nice for a couple, on your own or with a whole family

Nice zoo good place to spend the day especially with kids. Seems to be getting nicer and better every year.

Too bad that quite a lot of parts were closed due to renovations and so on ... so we were quickly through the park.

After having been to Blijdorp Zoo for a long time: it remains a very nice zoo that has undergone major renovation in recent years. Walked wonderfully and watched animals in the playful and surprisingly set up 'continents'.

Great place :) 4h walking, there is something to explore. I highly recommend

My favorite zoo, nice cozy atmosphere, association of friends of Blijdorp always improves the accommodation of the animals

It was amazing and interesting day! I ll be glad to come again!

Never was a fan of zoos but at least this is a spacious and well maintained one!

On Monday nice and quiet but not all the eating facilities are open.

Geweldig om alle dieren te zien in voldoende ruimte en mooie verblijven!

ook viel me de prijzen mee wat er gerekend word voor het eten en drinken in het park.

wat ik wat minder vind is de duidelijkheid van de route die je het beste kan lopen om alles te kunnen zien en ervaren.
uiteindelijk is het ons wel gelukt maar was het toch een hele zoektocht om ervoor te zorgen dat we niks misten.

parkeertarief voor een dagkaart is 9 euro. prijzig maar beter dan een uurtarief waar je rekening mee moet houden.

Very nice aquarium part of the zoo. Also great birds feeding show. Other than that, regular zoo.

What a beautifully landscaped zoo.It was very hot but by all trees and bushes it was particularly pleasant walking. Nice and cool. And a beautiful collection of animals that have a lot of space. Everywhere benches. Restoration everywhere. Top zoo.

Very nicely landscaped zoo / zoo. The aquarium is great. But also quite expensive. Two adults with child plus parking immediately broke.

It's a nice zoo with cute animals and good food. I believe there are free maps but we couldn't get one because we were there for a school assignment. There are wheelchairs you can rent and it's very accessible.

Just the day in Blijdorp again with my sons and nephews. Always stays beautiful. The animals are well cared for and the park too. It is neat and clean and is constantly renewed. Often (again now) there are volunteers to explain certain things extra with extra material. With angelic patience because my oldest can ask quite tricky questions.
We have seen the young lions well.

Rotterdam Zoo looks super neat after the long renovation that they have had. Highly recommended to visit!

In the middle of the city. The train cuts right through it. But there are so many beasts! Prairie dogs are so close that they challenge to pet. Just to bite you then. Unfortunately we didn't see Bokito, but that didn't make the day any less.

Pi kne zoo bardzo blisko zwierz t mo na bardzo mi o sp dzi czas

Blijdorp is spacious and relatively good for the animals as far as I can judge as a layman. There are zoos where, especially the larger animals, have more living space, though. Blijdorp also puts a lot of money into nature and animal conservation worldwide, which I really appreciate. There is much to see for the visitor, for young and old! The aquarium is also unique of its kind, recommended!

Shame about the rain
Almost all the animals inside

Very good! I advise you to go early to see everything! It's really worth it

Yesterday with grandchildren PARKING shame to ask 9.50 for it badly indicate entrance of certain attractions or the exit box of chips 3.30 watching tigers (get food) the escorts of the park let everyone walk to the glass window and when it is full and the feeding starts everyone is ordered to leave because it is too busy then arrange this before everything starts paying the full blow and many sights closed

It is just a very nice zoo! Almost every year a new animal shelter is opened. The stays are also getting better and bigger. You can really spend a whole day there.

Nice park with many animals. Many places where your children can play and many small restaurants. There is a hotel next to the park.

It was a great day. Only you could make a box in the toilet so that you could use the drive you had to hang on the gravel is not so hygienes Thank you.

Beautiful, diverse zoo. Also with enough rain inside.

What an incredible place!!! Every kind of animals that you imagine are there, the best part is the gorila's place!!!

Beautiful zoo but still my reservations about the sometimes small stays of the animals. Hopefully one can make improvements there.

Biggest and best zoo in the Netherlands.You will need more than one day to see all the animals. Used to come here often with my family. Really great place to have loads of fun.

Really a beautiful zoo. So beautifully maintained. Large parking lot. Many hospitality venues. Nicely laid out. Be sure to go more often this year.

Erg mooi park, met veel dieren en een mooie omgeving. Genoeg om je een dagje te vermaken (zeker met kinderen).
Het park oogt alleen niet zo schoon.

It is nice to go with children, for example, but with older people you are quickly bored.

Very nice walking area with beautiful nature and cozy places to eat. And not to mention the animals. Relaxing.

I have been there twice already and it is really beautiful. Beautiful oceanium, but always very busy. I also loved the butterfly paradise. Highly recommended. Take food and drinks with you. The tickets are expensive, just like parking costs.

I watched my eyes. Fun for young and old. Take a whole day ahead, there is so much to see.

Nice zoo! In addition to the classic animals, also some that you don't often see, such as a couple of polar bears! The animals also seem to have a good time here! And of course a visit to the hero of the zoo Bokito cannot be missed!

"Sooooooo" beautiful !!! Insanely nice decor, decoration, interactive themed areas, modern, super friendly staff, good food, blissful to never walk around bored ... train keicool, hopefully they will buy it once, it can be a bit cheaper if you travel several times wants to sail; -) ...
Enjoyed a lot!

Very nice, big and so many animals and play areas for the children .... SUPER !!

Is and remains a very beautiful park. Very clean and tidy. And of course enjoy all the beautiful animals

It was pretty cold, many animals were not outside. The paths and decks were smooth through the frost. Perhaps useful to sprinkle some sand in those places.

A nice day out is always possible to see whether the sun is shining or raining

Very well designed and maintained. Lots ofcparking space. Not too crowded. Nice indoor exhibitions too and very neat glass tunnel under aquarium pond.

I had a lot of fun with the little man who really enjoyed it

A nice zoo! The animals are easy to see, even for small children! It's just a shame that the signs are only partially in English (or German) ...

Beautiful park beautiful stays for the animals.
And a little affordable

Nice place for family and kids ..amazing fish and aquarium

Nice zoo. I've been coming here since I was 5, but even though it's called 'Blijdorp', the prices on the menu don't really make us happy. 2.30 for 4 chicken nuggets? I had better eat at the McDonalds before I came here

Disappointed .. messy bad route indicating ... and few animals ...

Relax in the zoo. Nothing is allowed, everything is allowed up to a certain height and 1.5 meters.

Really classic city zoo with a lot of animal species that you rarely see. Puffins and geleds are new acquisitions. The newer stays are spacious and attractively designed. An animal zoo to come back often. The old Rivierahal has a large indoor playground.
