Reviews Artis Zoo
“This is one of the greatest zoos I have ever seen. I honestly couldn’t believe I spent the whole day here. The range of animals living here is great compared to many other zoos. I loved seeing the elephants. The many different children areas were a bonus feature. You must try the pizza, so tasty.”
“Had a long weekend in A,dam and a friend suggested we visit. We were not disappointed. The whole site is beautiful, well kept and a large variety of different animals.”
