Top Rotterdam Sightseeing Tickets & Passes

The Efteling is one of my favorite places for a day trip. The atmosphere, music, and attractions are great, the food is good, the staff is friendly, and the shows are magical. If you are in the Netherlands as a resident or on vacation, this is a very strong recommendation to visit.

Beautiful park. Especially for smaller children. The park is set up like a fairy tale. Everything is very lovely and with attention to detail. The wait times in May were very moderate and good. We never had to wait in line for long. Going early is worth it. However, since the park is very large, you cannot see everything in one day. There is an area for small children and a large "children's" one. The price is rather high, but the park really does offer superlatives. The only thing we did not like was 1001 Nights, which was more of a house of horrors than a fairy tale =)

We visited the performance Spirit of Japan and we found it wonderful. We brought our five-year-old daughter along and she especially liked the final show. She also thought the interactive wall where she could bring a rocket she had colored herself to life was cool.

A beautiful and surprisingly immersive experience in Rotterdam. You really step into another world, with the large projections, music and colours making a lasting impression. Perfect to visit with friends when you want something different from a traditional museum.

Great value with Cool Destinations discount. Booked the previous day as we were visiting on an overnight ferry from the UK on a very short day trip. Short walk from our central coach drop off. Really easy to find. Simply to enter just a quick scan of our tickets. The zoo is so big although it did take a while to navigate and we had to backtrack a little to make sure we saw everything (hope we didn’t miss anything), we did stumble across the indoor pond just before we left which was beautiful with a few seats and tables to enjoy the setting of lilly’s, flowers, tropical plants etc. So much to see and you can get very close to lots of the animals. A great trip set over many different zones. One of the biggest wooden climbing/slide area I’ve ever seen, lots of fun for children. Plenty of food and drink outlets at very reasonable prices. I would say to enjoy at a good pace you need a good 5 to 6 hours to not rush round but you could easily spend a full day there. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend for sure

OPEN on Mondays and Tuesdays (Aug '26), they just haven't updated Google Maps or Cool Destinations.This is great quality and entertainment, if you like model trains and extended landscape and buildings to go with them. On par with Hamburg (not associated with) just not on as many floors but still big.The 'Bookie' map guide for 50c includes vouchers for second cup of coffee free, 10% discount on their Jubilee book, a subsequent visit €1 for 1 person per voucher.

Fantastic zoo! It is massive! Make sure you wear comfy shoes because I couldn’t believe at the size of the site. We first explored the aquarium which was so much fun. The shark tunnel was very impressive. Great value for money and we stayed the full day and managed to see everything. Lots of ice cream stops along the way. There we even an indoor play area which was great to get out the sun for a little while. Great to see beautiful big enclosure for all the animals. The gift shop was also really good

The Netherlands and Rotterdam on the ground floor, Britannia in the basement! (and a bit of Normandy coast: The landing of the Princess Irene Brigade in Operation Overlord).

A beautiful steamship where you can get a tour of the ship. This ship has a historical connection to Rotterdam because it used to be used as a cruise ship to New York. The tour takes you into the main spots of the ship, you will enter the engine room, indoor pool, and dinner rooms.

Guided tour and engine room done. The engine room is impressive - what one could do even then! And how everything works. Fresh air takes you through various rooms that have been restored in old style. Incredibly beautiful and special to see. Both tours are given even more color and content by the many volunteers who tell additional information and experience stories.

I went to the Efteling with 3 of my friends on Saturday, August 22nd. It was my very first time and I really enjoyed it.The park has a beautiful and clean appearance. The queues were not long, not even for a day during the summer holidays. The theming in the park is very well adjusted to each spot and nicely complements the different attractions.Besides enjoying the park itself, I must say that the interactions I had with the staff really ruined the experience. In the afternoon, my friends and I got a glitter tattoo. And a really big shout out to Jonathan who put that up for me. Jonathan not only got a very good tattoo (which was still there after 1 week!) but also took the time to have a very nice conversation with us. I immediately felt at home and the experience was truly fantastic.I would also like to give a shoutout to the employees who were at Dans Macabre between 9 and 10 pm. The boy who was with the broom at the virtual queue (He scared us, was very good in his "role," but could also have a good conversation) and the boy who was walking around in the queue and opened the door for us, he was also very good in his role, but also joined in with us when we were being "funny" to him. We were also able to speak to him briefly at the little square of the virtual queue and got a photo with him! Unfortunately, we couldn't see what these two boys were called, but they really ruined our day! We will certainly not forget these interactions!

Wonderfully beautiful experience. Nice reception by staff, beautiful environment and very central. We could easily find it and have a beautiful view over the Meuse.

From 10am to 10pm we were all smiling! This is an absolutely brilliant, unexpected, magical place! The staff were wonderful, loads of variety of rides for everyone and a genuinely brilliant day. Be prepared to do a lot of walking but if is absolutely worth it!

Fantastic! Very cool experience and surprising. Tip: take the card-First-in if you have a chance. That makes the experience even more beautiful.

Nice zoo cozy eateries and nice staff

Best zoo in the Netherlands! My family and I had a great time in Blijdorp Zoo. It's centrally located in Rotterdam. Easily accessible. You will see a whole lot of unique wild animals. Very interesting. There are snackbars and restaurants if you're hungry! Have fun!
