Join us at gala dinner
Did you ever had diner surrounded by sharks, sea turtles and barracuda’s ?
Well here is your chance.
On Saturday evening we will host our gala dinner in a very special venue. At a stone’s throw from the official showhotel Rotterdam Zoo Blijdorp welcomes us in their private dining room located in their famous Oceanium. While you will enjoy excellent food a large window provides a fantastic look in the aquarium where sharks, turtles and barracuda’s freely roam around.
Tickets for the galadiner includes a three course dinner, beer, wine and soft drinks, and a free entrance to Rotterdam Zoo Blijdorp from 16.00 in the afternoon and gives you an opportunity to stroll around the zoo when all other visitors have left.
