Opened in 1838, Artis Zoo is the oldest zoo in the Netherlands and one of the city’s top tourist attractions, though thankfully its layout and refreshing lack of bars and cages mean that it never feels overcrowded. Highlights include an African savanna environment, a seventy-metre-long aviary, aquaria and a South American zone with llamas and the world’s largest rodent, the capybara. Feeding times – always popular – include 11am for the birds of prey; 11.30am and 3.45pm seals and sea lions; 2pm pelicans; 12.30pm crocodiles (Sun only); 3pm lions and tigers (not Thurs); and 3.30pm penguins. In addition, Micropia (€14, 3–9 year-olds €12) is dedicated to the secret world of micro-organisms and will appeal to any budding biologists in the family. The on-site Planetarium has five or six shows daily, all in Dutch, though you can pick up a leaflet with an English translation from the desk.
