Artis Zoo, Holland’s oldest zoo, has something to offer for everyone. Flee the cold in the tropical garden full of colourful butterflies. Or maybe you rather watch one of the movies in the Planetarium on Darwin’s travels or the oceans? And don’t forget the exhibitions in the Zoological museum that teach you all about the history of our planet’s flora and fauna.
