Diergaarde Blijdorp, also known as Rotterdam Zoo, is a nature and wildlife destination in the heart of Rotterdam. More than a place to see animals, it is transforming from a traditional zoo into an organisation focused on nature recovery, species conservation, education and sustainability. Visitors can encounter animals and plants across themed areas, discover historic landmarks, and enjoy food and drink at several locations around the grounds.

The zoo offers online tickets, annual subscriptions, school programmes, family activities and guided experiences through Expeditie Blijdorp. Its app helps visitors find facilities, view daily schedules and feeding times, and learn about wildlife and conservation. Guests can also plan events at distinctive zoo venues or adopt an animal, with adoption support contributing to nature conservation and providing access to related content.

Blijdorp works with conservation organisations and participates in international population-management programmes. Its activities include protecting threatened species, supporting projects in the wild, maintaining historic monuments and conducting scientific research, including studies into fish welfare.
