Artis Royal Zoo, Zoological & Geological Museum

 
View:
  • Plantage Kerklaan 38-40
  • 1018 CZ Amsterdam
  • Telephone:020 - 523 34 00
Founded in 1838, Artis is the oldest zoo on the continent. The historical character is evident even before one passes through the gates; with two golden eagles perched proudly atop the main entrance. In an area of 14 hectares, 700 species provide a magnificent overview of the animal kingdom. Amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, mammals and insects... all are superbly represented. The zoo's aquarium brings the visitor face to face with the secret life of Amsterdam's canals. There are several Dutch and European animal and plant species, as well as more exotic ones. Artis is also home to a Planetarium, museums and holds several exhibitions.
