The exhibit for white-breasted capuchins in Apenheul, the Netherlands. To the right you can also see the second gorilla exhibit. The blue building also houses the gorillas.

I simply have to take a road trip through the Netherlands one summer, as there appears to be a number of truly exceptional zoos. Would anyone be brave enough to declare Holland as the #1 zoo country in Europe, or is that too bold of a statement?

So far that it what I have been doing I have seen most of the big zoos in Germany and Scandinavia and has also seen a few in England and Austria. But Holland so far has the greatest concentration of the best zoos I have seen. Rotterdam and Burgers are my two favourite zoos.

I will admit that I have yet to see the zoos of Spain, Switzerland and most of Great Britain, which also has some great zoos.

Arnhem, Rotterdam, Emmen, and Apenheul are all brilliant zoos. Holland is definitely top of the class of European nations when it comes to zoos. Germany is number 2.

Would have to agree 100% redukari. What is it about these 2 countries???

Also with many of the zoos closing for 2-4 months each year. They really must make allot in a shorter period.
