Rotterdam Zoo Tiger at Rotterdam Zoo - AsiaTravel.com
With more than 1.3 million visitors every year, Rotterdam Zoo is one of the most popular attractions in Holland. A stroll through the Zoo will take you to different continents. Here you will see many different animals that feel perfectly at home in their imitation surroundings.

OCEANIUM
The first phase of Oceanium was recently completed. At this attraction you travel along coasts and through areas of the North Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean region. You can also admire the Sea of Cortes and the kelp forests of the California coast. Here you will “meet” Colorado toads, starfish, leopard sharks and sea lions. One of the best attractions is the 22-metre long shark tunnel where different sharks stolidly swim by. The Oceanium will not be finished for some time, but a penguin attraction is on the program for 2001.

GORILLA ISLAND
From the African viewpoints visitors have a splendid view over the gorilla island with its climbing trees and rocks.

EVEN IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS...
Rotterdam Zoo is also worth a visit when the weather lets you down. You can visit the indoor Oceanium, for example, the Riviera Hall or the tropical Taman Indah forest.
