Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam is a fairly large zoo with a wide selection of animals including elephants, giraffes, and penguins. The Oceanium section was opened in 2000, and is a mini ’waterworld’, with a 22 metre long shark tunnel, and a marine laboratory. The Oceanium showcases water-dwelling animals from several areas of the world. The zoo is ideal for visiting with children, and is generally perceived as taking good care of the animals in its care.
