This park is a favorite in my family and I've listed some info on our favorite attractions and…read moreactivities: The traffic garden: Most Dutch kids have memories of a "traffic garden". This is where kids learn traffic rules and how to maneuver through realistic-looking traffic obstacles. Basically, you grab a paddle go kart, called a skelter in Dutch, and make your way around a miniature traffic park. And who says it's only fun for kids? The house in the hill: This indoor playground is made to look like grandma and grandpa's home and uses the child's imagination of it's fantastic play potential. It has secret passageways, crazy bathroom parties, trampolines, and more. This definitely is the ultimate indoor playground. Swan boats: There's something about sitting in a plastic swan and floating on a lake with good company. Our favorite game was to race the other swans on the lake. Word of warning: this activity can be exhausting for those paddling. Children can spend an entire day at this park and still feel the need to return for more. Activities/rides: swan paddle boats, many indoor and outdoor play grounds, splash ride, train ride, outdoor pool, boat ride, go-kart traffic garden, zoo, raft ride, walking gardens, gnome forest, merry-go-round, zip line, and I'm sure more.

We love this play park, but it's definitely over priced! The child and adult entry fee are the…read moresame, which just seems wrong.

Wonderful zoo, arguably one of the top in the Netherlands. Each animal has a lovely habitat and…read morelots to see and do there. Great place of families with young kids with several playgrounds in the zoo. In particular the indoor playground is perfect for rainy days. Feels like we go there for the playground, and see animals along the way going there! The baby elephant is adorable, the tigers and the polar bears both very cool. One time we actually say the rhino playing around and a giraffe chasing a goose!

A tad pricey but it was really one of the best zoo's I've been too. My hubby had to work in…read moreRotterdam so he sent me and our two girls off to find the zoo. We started off with the sealife area, had CA sea lions up first lol being from CA which we've seen but they were really active, swimming and barking. Their aquarium is really beautiful with so many window displays including a large glass tunnel that had the most amazing views of the sharks, stingrays and fish swimming over your head. The kids were so excited to be surrounded like you were underwater swimming with them. We saw so much and everything was so in your face it was amazing. The kids loved seeing the tiger exhibit they came up right up to the window *although there were some middle school kids there on a fieldtrip or something and they were being super annoying banging and yelling at the windows. I wish there was some park employee there to tell them to knock that sht off! In fact, come to thing of it I don't recall seeing any caretakers or park employees in any of the outdoor exhibits. But moving on, my personal favorite and you must see is the Amazon exhibit. You walk into this and bamm the heat hits your face. You are in a jungle of flowers, plants/trees and there are butterflies small and LARGE flying in your face. I had to hold my shreeks and my hands down as my initial inclination was to scream and swat something that is flying in my face. LOL! The butterflies would stop and feed from these large flower feeders, it was really beautiful to see them so close while the fed. I highly recommend you visit this zoo if you're in Rotterdam. It took us 4 hours to go through the zoo and really enjoy it and maybe because we went during the off season and middle of the week but it wasn't crowded at all which made it more enjoyable. They have a cafe, gift shop and snack shops through out.

I was told about this attraction when I visited Rotterdam many years ago. Unfortunately I was…read moreworking the entire time and never had the opportunity to visit it. This time around I had some free time and decided to check it out. Despite having gotten a description from someone who had visited before me, I was surprised by the details in the scale models of various structures from across The Netherlands. Walking through the property exposed me to various buildings that were part of Dutch history. The mechanical people mimicking processions and a concert were a cool touch. I loved the mechanical trains, boats, cars, buses and planes that made the scenes more realistic. Definitely a must see in my book.

They have moving trains, planes, ships and automobiles. You need a good two hours to go through the park. It's May and there were no tulips, only giant fake ones. The gift shop is worth taking a look at. The coolest thing was the KLM airplane. You go in and are given a numbered seat. Sights of Netherlands are seen through the passenger windows. I don't know how much the entrance is as the entry was part of our escorted tour package.
