Rotterdam Zoo

#europetrip Very nice urban zoo, with a good variety of animals. The Rotterdam Zoo is easily reachable by bus from the train station and the city center. Visited on a Monday morning, there were more visitors and kids than I would have expected so be prepared to the fact you won't be alone even on a weekday morning. Total visit lasts approx. 4 hours (but haven't read any explanations), there is a lot to see even if the zoo doesn't seem big. You could easily spend 5 hours there if you are not in a hurry. For non-dutch speakers: there are no English signs nor explanations, even the zoo map given at the entrance is not translated. Such a shame they haven't thought about any foreign visitors... Cloakroom: there are available lockers for 2€ each, but the info displayed on their official website hasn't been updated (it was said 0.95€/day). If you're coming with kids there is a huge outdoor playground space inside the zoo which is nice for kids to have fun.
