Quote: It's hard to believe that a city with as much charm as Amsterdam could be home to such a hell-hole. The exhibits are poorly maintained (animals don't smell that bad in the wild). The staff, which was at best, rude, should take some socialization... Read the full Artis Zoo review

Quote: This is a historic zoo that's a little rundown in parts (some cages are pitifully small and cramped). But it's spread out and lovely to walk through. See how Dutch families enjoy the day out with their children, and imagine how ladies used to... Read the full Artis Zoo review

Artis Zoo
Quote: The small city zoo Artis, in the middle of Amsterdam is definitely worth a visit. The name comes from the one remaining gate of three. It used to be ‘Natura Artis Magistra’; nature is the teacher of the arts. It was founded in 1854. Since then a lot... Read the full Artis Zoo review
