The 33 best parks and gardens in Rotterdam

My and dog love this park ! We walk three times a week; the park is perfect for playing with the dogs. The park is well-maintained and clean. It's a great place for a picnic or just relaxing under a tree.

The best park in Rotterdam, immaculate atmosphere and very beautiful views. Perfect for a date or a picnic with friends. I highly recommend that you try parquiet if you end up visiting :)

A must if you are in the city, specially in the weekends. A couple of weeks ago we got to see a free classic music concert (with opera). The space is surrounded by enormous trees and spaces to lay and enjoy a good time.

This park is beautiful and all, but the one thing I appreciate the most is the availability of public toilets which I thought was more difficult to find in the country than women who appreciate my sense of humour.

The park is Rotterdam’s oldest and most iconic city park, designed in 1852 by Jan David Zocher and Louis Paul Zocher. Its English-style landscaping blends historic monuments with views of the modern Euromast, creating a mix of 19th-century tradition and contemporary cityscape. The park is home to ponds, ducks, and other wildlife, while also serving as a lively venue for summer festivals, concerts, and open-air markets.

Time to Relax! A place to linger in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A green oasis in the center.

A place he recommends you to see in Rotterdam. It is a beautiful park in the city. A great walking area.

Arboretum Trompenburg is a beautiful garden and flower museum that I really enjoyed visiting. The entrance is free, and you can go in through the little flower shop near the front. I spent a couple of peaceful hours walking around, enjoying the variety of trees, flowers, and birds. There are small bridges over canals that add a lot of charm to the place and make the views even more special. There’s also free parking available, which makes visiting even more convenient. In one part of the garden, there’s a large bird enclosure with finches, Chinese doves, quails, and a few other small birds. It’s lovely to see them, although if you care about animals being free, it might feel a bit sad to see them inside a cage. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature and peaceful walks.

Really cute experience with a variety of flowers. We enjoyed just walking around and experiencing the atmosphere. A cat even greeted us, which made our day. It's kinda unnecessary that they have a bird cage, though. The man that sold us the tickets was really cute. Super passionate and kind.

Besutiful and well maintained botanical garden. Highlights: Cactus green houses with countless magical and listeriosis succulents; Surprising bird aviaries with zebra finches and quails; HUGH poplars; Food garden; Lawn like duckweed on the channels. Don’t miss the museum’s shop.

What a wonderful cute place! From the entrance with a friendly staff up until the restaurant that was so cozy and child friendly! I simply loved it! This is definitely a place I want to come back. Its a hidden gem in Rotterdam. Everything is neat and well preserved. God bless you guys!

A peaceful garden to breathe cleaner air in between the jam of city. Some part of the park is quite old, whereas the rest is replanted after being destructed during WW2. A map is given at the entrance so that you can orient yourself. Mini hint: The arboretum is smaller than you think when you have a look at the map. A brilliant escape point for everyone.

The flowers were so beautiful when I visited this summer. The garden was peaceful and well-maintained. I want to go back in another season to see how it looks.

Nice and beautiful garden with vast collection of domestic and international plants. Disclaimer: I visited in late June 2025, 10 am to 5 pm. I can spend hours here. It has WC and decent small restaurant to quench your thirst after a long nice walk among the bushes and under the fir or through the weeping willow surrounding the ponds. Remember to ask for an access card to enter a separate secluded garden accross the back entrance. Here you will be spoiled by the enormous variety of edible plants, from roots to petals and fruits. But, you are not allowed to pick them ya. When you finish, please stop by the gift shop. Here you can purchase few things that you have seen in the garden; gardening equipments and alike. If you happen to live in the area of Rotterdam, you can join the social worker group maintaining the garden. The schedule is usually on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays through all seasons. Please like my review if you find it helpful. Thank you.

Nice playground area for kids. The park is spacious and offers a pleasant atmosphere with ample shade. Whether you're planning a family gathering or a casual cookout with friends.

Spacious public parc for anyone, there's special place for a weekend barbeque and you can even organise your special events here. There's also special places for animal lovers to walk and play. 10/10 for the cleanness.

Rotterdam has many city parks and this is one of the most beautiful parks in the city, and in fact right in the middle of the city at Blijdorp, close to Rotterdam Centraal. It's lovely for a stroll, to exercise, bike, enjoy refreshments..... Highly recommended when you are in Rotterdam, or live here.

Lovely place for a picnic with a big round of treea for shade seekers during sunny days

Beautiful park! Very clean and we'll looked after! Great playground for children of multiple ages. Good area for exercising. Cafe with great food and drink selection! Large field with lots of areas to sit and relax with friends or play sport. Many walking paths through the park and forest. Great for a walk with your dog or friend.

Very clean, lots of space to picnic. Nice areas for the kids to play and run around. Clean toilets.

My favourite park in Rotterdam. There are different areas, everything is clean and it's really good for chilling during the day. There are also free bathrooms.

Sure it's a nice park and all, but my colleague told me that maybe it's not as nice (or safe) at night. I didn't have time to test his ridiculous theories, but maybe he's got a point. Pretty during the day tho, I gotta say.

The park is a cultural district and green space in Rotterdam, home to several of the city’s major museums. Created during the redevelopment of the city center in the late 20th century, it transformed a once war-damaged area into a hub for art, culture, and relaxation. Today it serves both as an urban park and as an outdoor exhibition space, providing a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

✨Museumpark is the perfect spot to unwind!! 💫Surrounded by beautiful greenery and iconic buildings, it's ideal for a relaxing stroll or picnic. Grab a coffee and sit back – it's a great place to recharge.

Museumpark successfully links the Natuur Museum with the Depot Museum to provide a relaxing afternoon adventure. The park itself is quite formal and offers paved trails in addition to cycling paths. It is a short walk from Centraal Station. There are a group of vagrants that hang out overnight at the Depot end, otherwise a very safe place to visit.

This museum building is very nice which I like the most

Great park, beautiful rosés and great location for events.

Amazing looking park. You should definitely give it a visit if you’re around. No trash and the museums were cool as well!

Too many homeless people

(Translated by Google) Had a lovely walk, walked past the fruit trees and picked a beautiful bouquet. (Original) Heerlijk gewandeld , langs de fruitbomen gelopen en een prachtig boeket geplukt .

(Translated by Google) You can walk around here, skate and play with water. It's a shame that the playground is not open. As far as I know there is no public toilet, except maybe in the shops under the roof. (Original) Je kunt hier heerlijk rondlopen, skaten en met water spelen. Wel super jammer dat de speeltuin niet open is. Voor zover ik weet is er geen openbaar toilet, behalve misschien in de winkels onder het dak.

(Translated by Google) Not a bad idea, rabbits and birds are there as always, but the park closes in the evening, at about 10 p.m. We have not seen information about this anywhere. We fell into a trap in the evening with my disabled friend. He walks slowly. The park is long, while we were walking, the gates were closed. We were very surprised and decided to return, but the doors through which we entered were also already closed. We are trapped. I had to call the police. (Original) Неплохо придумано, кролики и птички но есть как всегда но, парк закрывается вечером, примерно в 22-00. Информацию об этом мы нигде не видели. Мы попали в ловушку вечером с моим другом инвалидом. Он ходит медленно. Парк длинный, пока мы шли, ворота закрыли. Мы были очень удивлены и решили вернуться, но двери через которые мы зашли были тоже уже закрыты. Мы оказались в ловушке. Пришлось звонить в полицию.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful park on the residential boulevard. Very surprising and spacious. (Original) Mooi park op de woonboulevard. Zeer verrassend en ruim.

(Translated by Google) Varied breakfast including tea.. recommended! (Original) Gevarieerd ontbijt incl thee.. aanrader!

A must! Incredible views. We went up just before sunset and then after sunset, we had a drink and A DELICIOUS AND GENEROUS portion of their fries with truffle mayo and parmesan, so worth it. After that we went back out to experience the views of the lights. It's like 3 experiences in 1. Highly recommend it to locals and tourists.

Absolutely stunning views and great hospitality. The restaurant, which is accessible by a high-speed lift up overlooks the spectacular scenery of Rotterdam. Food was delicious and service was really friendly. Highly recommended for a visit if you're in Rotterdam.

The waiter was pretty rude! One of the waitresses got us a table with a nice view but that was all of the good experience. We waited 20 minutes to order and when the waiter came he told us that table has a reservation and we had to move to another one so we left the restaurant.

A moment suspended between sky and earth. The Euromast restaurant offers a culinary experience as memorable as the view that accompanies it. Each dish reflects a refined balance of flavors and a meticulous presentation, enhanced by discreet and attentive service. The panorama over Rotterdam, especially at sunset, lends the whole experience an atmosphere that is both intimate and spectacular. An exceptional address perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring the Dutch art of living with elegance.

We saw Euromast from the outside. I think the entrance fee is too much. We didn't go up the tower. But it gives a different atmosphere to the city. The park right next to it is very well organized. There is a nice walking area.

Was great to br able to see Rotterdam from such a height and there is a small video you watch to show the history of Rotterdam. Would have been better if they had signs to show what you are looking at once you are on the viewing platform. Instead there is a QR code you can scan and then you are supposed to be able to point your camera at things and it will tell you what it was, however it doesn't work well at all. You also have to buy a more expensive ticket to go to the highest point. They also do abseiling down the Euromast which wasn't widely advertised.

Great views of Rotterdam, and the extra pay to go up to the top is worth it, but the down side is the wait to get into the Euro scoop, you wait out side is the wind and rain. But the view is worth it. Wrap up warm if you visiting in the winter

Got better understandings of how Dutch people protect their resident at the same time allting space for commercial use. The roof area is an awesome park for chilling out and refresh.

What an absolutely wonderful phenomenon: rooftop park above a shopping street (Big Shops) on one side and residential area on the other side. Due to water shortage most of the grass has turned brown but that doesn't spoil the beautiful views. This area is reachable by tram line 23

Dakpark is an incredible modern day over the roof park. There is a whole commercial area beneath it where you can find lots of markets. Coming to the park itself, It is a beautiful park to spend time with family especially in the summer, there is plenty of space to even do bbq. A nice, serene place to take chill out and let the children enjoy. There are some sprinklers too to get your feet wet in the hot weather. Overall, a fantastic and well maintained park.

Ambience is so nice and vibrant. I really like this place. They have limited options in food but it was really delicious.

Really beautiful park with cozy vibes! It's a perfect place for a picnic. I'd definitely go there again!

Really nice park ideal to exercise, make a picnic, or just chill. There’s also a restaurant, and a fountain.

Very nice place to do a picnic. 😁

Beautiful, big and green park. It is perfect for bikers, pedestrians and joggers. Not crowded and quiet which is good for a picnic. You may find the cattle grazing at some regions of the park which is cool. Advice though, it might be smelly at a few locations, just remember that this is due to the cattle. Still very amazing place, and I highly recommend you visit on bike, you can cover more ground.

Lage Bergse Bos is an amazing park to have a long walk with your dog and family and/or friends. There are several places to have picnic if you want to bring some snack along but also restaurants where you can order some food and relax. There are canals and a lake with chairs next to them to sit, enjoy the view and relax. Perfect spot to spend a sunny weekend day

Nice area to walk around and enjoy the forest. There are also some large bovine animals if you can find them

Wonderful area to walk and experience nature. It's accessible by public transportation

It's not the first time I've visited this place. It's very cozy and pleasant to have lunch with friends and children

What an experience! It's the first time I see this sort of animals wonder free in a public park. The park itself is very large with some nice little rivers running through it. But then you get to see this weird cows! 😯😯

A huge forest with many hiking trails. There is also a big cafeteria so people can have drinks and take a rest there!

The food is so delicious. Will come back again.

(Translated by Google) Reserved in May for August 3. Confirmation received. Family elsewhere from the country invited for an evening of delicious food in the garden or in the beautiful restaurant. Upon arrival the restaurant appears to be closed. I had already asked twice by email whether it was possible to eat in the garden. No response. So they had 3 options to inform me that the restaurant was closed. We were able to order something from a very simple menu at the bar. What a disappointment. When I also found a "big message" in the toilet, I was done with it! Food itself is fine. We did receive a glass of prosecco as compensation. This was not worthy of The Park! (Original) In mei gereserveerd voor 3 aug. Bevestiging ontvangen. Familie elders uit het land uitgenodigd voor een avond heerlijk eten in de tuin of in het prachtige restaurant. Bij aankomst blijkt het restaurant gesloten te zijn. Eerder 2x per mail al gevraagd of het mogelijk was in de tuin te eten. Geen reactie. Dus 3 mogelijkheden heeft men gehad om mij te informeren dat het restaurant gesloten was. We konden aan de bar van een hele simpele kaart wel wat bestellen. Wat een teleurstelling. Toen ik in het toilet ook nog een "grote boodschap" vond was ik er klaar mee! Eten op zich is prima. Ter compensatie hebben we dan wel een glas prosecco gekregen. Dit was niet The Park waardig!

(Translated by Google) There is room for improvement in terms of attention and detailed service to the customer. If you are with a foreign guest, you automatically have to come with a card in English... but other languages ​​such as German or Spanish or Italian in an international city like Rdam should be a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. Bream was well portioned and tasty. The chorizo ​​croquettes are also delicious. Great cocktail and wine was good too. Price quality is good. (Original) Mag best tandje bij qua aandacht en detail service naar de klant. Als je met buitenlandse gast zit moet je automatisch met kaart in engels komen...maar andere talen zoals Duits of Spaans of Italiaans in een internationale stad als Rdam moet een no brainer zijn wat mij betreft. Brasem was goed geportioneerd en lekker van smaak. De chorizo kroketjes vooraf ook lekker. Prima cocktail en wijn was ook goed. Prijs kwaliteit is goed.

(Translated by Google) So bad! We had something to celebrate and wanted to do it at The Park. We've done that a few times, always great. But now we arrived and the door was still closed. Thank God it was dry because after waiting more than fifteen minutes the door was still closed. When we had given up hope, we saw the staff sitting comfortably at the bar. Downright antisocial. Too bad, I often send people to this restaurant, but that is done. Of course we won't go anymore. (Original) Zo slecht! Wij hadden iets te vieren en wilde dat bij The Park doen. Dat hebben we al een paar keer gedaan, altijd top. Maar nu kwamen we aan en was de deur nog dicht. Goddank was het droog want na ruim een kwartier wachten was de deur nog steeds dicht. Toen we de moed hadden opgegeven zagen we het personeel gezellig aan de bar zitten. Ronduit asociaal. Jammer, ik stuur heel vaak mensen naar dit restaurant, maar dat is wel klaar. Uiteraard gaan wij ook niet meer.

Main attraction was red panada to which we come to see and actually end up seeing was very cute to see in natural. The other cute anaimal was volpus artic fox. The zoo has many animals and eating facilities and areas for the children to play. I would recommend a visit, perfect for a family day out

Diergaarde Blijdorp offers a truly remarkable experience for animal lovers and families alike, standing out as an exceptionally clean zoo with a palpable commitment to its inhabitants. From the moment we entered, the well-kept paths and immaculate grounds made for a pleasant day of exploration. Excellent Habitats and Animal Health The overall impression of animal care was overwhelmingly positive. It was clear that the animals are well cared for, appearing healthy, active, and thriving in their environments. The zoo boasts various animals from different continents, ensuring that every corner of the park provides a new discovery. What impressed me most was the thoughtful design of the enclosures; each animal enjoys quite a spacious area with a good environment that seems tailored to its natural needs. This dedication to natural habitats, rather than small cages, is what sets Blijdorp apart. A personal highlight was watching the elephants; the herd was incredibly active, with one elephant being particularly friendly and playful it was a joyous sight to see them interacting so freely and happily. Room for Improvement While the main zoo experience was superb, there were a couple of minor disappointments worth noting. Sadly, the indoor kid area had a noticeable smell of urine. Given the high standards everywhere else in the park, this was quite a letdown and made the time spent there less enjoyable for the adults. It’s definitely an area that needs more frequent attention from the cleaning crew. The second issue was the technical failure of a key souvenir opportunity. We were disappointed to find that the photo machine didn't really work when we tried to use it. We had really hoped to use it as a souvenir of our visit that day, so having it out of order was a small but significant frustration at the end of a long day. Despite these minor organizational hiccups, the sheer quality of the animal habitats and the overall beautiful, clean presentation of the zoo ensures Blijdorp remains a top tier attraction. The focus on animal welfare is undeniable, making it a highly recommended place to visit.

An absolutely amazing experience at Blijdorp Zoo! 🐘 The zoo has so much to offer it’s large in size, beautifully maintained and full of gorgeous animals surrounded by nature. You can easily spend the whole day here with kids or family. I totally recommend visiting here it’s such a wonderful place!

This is our third visit to the zoo. We really love it! The enclosures for the animals are spacious and the staff seem to really care and they make sure that the animals aren't bored. I didn't take any photos this time of the sea lions or the penguins, but they were very entertaining, as always. The sea lions were in a cuddle/huddle in the outdoor viewing area. They were singing quite loudly, also. It's so fun to watch the penguins swim. The underwater tunnel is a place to sit and dream of being in the water with the animals. We saw an angel fish that was working out, swimming against a current. 😁 We also saw a shark resting on the floor of the glass above is in the tunnel. It's so nice to go here and see bison, which reminds me of the Midwest (USA). While walking past the polar bear exhibit, we thought that we were unlikely to see them, as they were not outside. However, as we were about to leave that area, two emerged from one of their homes, standing on their hind legs and fighting. It was wild! We were happy that we got the chance to see them. My kid loves the gift shop. If there's an unusual stuffed plush animal you are seeking, it is likely they carry it. We always take home a new one with each visit. This visit was a stuffed deer. Highly recommend a visit. Make sure you have energy, because it can be a lot of walking if you want to see all parts of the zoo.

Interesting visit for this zoo and equirium. It is so big Zoo, require at least 4 hours to discover it. Recommended if you will visit Rotterdam. Buy tickets online will be easier to access from the official website.

As a family, we like to visit different animal parks wherever we go. This time we went to Rotterdam, and we defenitely were not dissapointed. Altho some places looked empty or not habited, the ones that were looked great. The animal(s) looked good. It made me think of a smaller version of pairi daiza here in Belgium. Off course it’s not comparable, but I think with the right sponsors and whatnot. They could get there at some point :) we would probably go again if we were in Rotterdam, especially with young kids. To me this was so baby/kids friendly!

Rotterdam Zoo is a beautifully designed, peaceful place where animals are cared for in naturalistic habitats. One unforgettable moment for me was seeing a majestic white bear — calm, powerful, and mesmerizing. It made the visit truly special.

Eiland van Brienenoord offers a beautiful and peaceful swimming spot a bit outside the city center of Rotterdam. Although it requires a short trip to get there, the journey is well worth it. Unlike some of the more crowded urban swimming areas, this spot is surrounded by lush greenery and feels much more spacious and natural. The water quality is good, and the atmosphere is relaxed, making it an ideal place to unwind and enjoy nature without the hustle and bustle. It’s perfect for those who want to escape the city crowds and spend time in a calmer, more scenic environment. Facilities are basic, so it’s a good idea to bring your own supplies, but the natural beauty more than compensates. Overall, Eiland van Brienenoord is a hidden gem for swimming and relaxing in nature close to Rotterdam, especially when you want to enjoy a quieter, greener setting away from the busy city spots.

Been living here for months and just now discovered it. Great place for a walk and great spot for photos, especially near the Golden hour. there seems to be some kind of project with small gardens and sheds. Also on the summer there are Scottish cattle.

Beautiful nature on an island within a city. The place features free-roaming cows, a children's playground, some benches, little lakes, lots of trees and ample footpaths to explore with your family and/or dog.

One of my favourite places in the city for a walk. Several different paths to follow allowing for a short walk or something a little longer. Great contrast between the water of the river and the woods of the island. The Highland Cattle also add a hint of adventure.

I first came here in 2019 and it started its process to a revamp. Trees where chopped down everywhere and I could tell it could be a nice place but I wasn't at that time. This was still the case in 2020. In 2021 I was not able to get onto the Brienenoord. The bridges were blocked off and the bigger work to make Brienenoord flourish had begun. Today I went to have a look and all accesses were open and alot has been done. The cows where walking around. Grills placed. Many wooden docks and pathways. Newly planted trees and shrubs. The visitors house was open again for coffee/tea takeaway. I'm curious to see how nature will take to the changes and I will return in the summer.

After quite a bit of looking around, finally found a cow!!

The best place to chill and get creative!

I visited many skywalks and skyparks, I like them. Paris, Hong Kong, Berlin, Bangkok and more. This one does not make it to most others but for Dutch concepts it is quite nice. When I was there it was not possible to sit anywhere in the park. Nice as you are really in and on an old train station. Open from sunrise till sunset (google says differently). Bars in the immediate area. Unique in Netherlands End of the walkway is Biergarten :)

Beautiful spot to chill around sunset time.

Unfinished? I suppose that...no way you can compare it with the other similar in NY, London, Berlin and Paris but there's a great potential

A unique place to visit especially if you know the history behind it

Very cool urban gardening project near the train station. It’s near the yellow bridge. The garden is located in an abandoned subway station. There are several benches and water fountains. We hung out there for a while. It’s not that crowded. People come and go but it’s fairly quiet.

Another very much Rotterdam-style place. It's quiet here now, no train will come to this no-more-in-use platform. Only plants, trees and diverse art! Just recently it became available to public 7 days a week from 10 till the last rays of sun.

Many thoughts in many places including the floor

Amazing place with lots of things to do. Animals, water, playgrounds, train.. my kid enjoyed it to the fullest.

Lovely park with lots of fun! The indoor park is not nice at all so it's not suitable for rainy days. Also not suitable for smaller kids. The park has pools, little farm, food (on the expensive side), and several activities. My kids love it. The pictures are from the winter skating. Quite nice though rather dangerous due to the low maintenance.

We went for the younger kids Halloween our 5 and 6 year olds where bored. We where sad to see half the park wasn't decorated. However we had a good time

Absolutely amazing place. We have been twice already and you can definitely spend an entire day here. It caters to the needs of kids of all ages. I went with my 6 and 2 year old. And there was plenty to do for both. Small playgrounds, big playgrounds, Indio playgrounds (especially when it gets rainy), a little farm, train ride, rides for big kids, merry go round, boat rides, paddle boating etc etc. there is a nice cafeteria as well as little icecream corners. There are benches so you can bring your own picnic. And there are quite a few restrooms for kids and adults. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely place to bring your kids, lots of facilities to play in.

Nice pet farm, there are two indoor playgrouds, lots to do for the kids outside as well. The restaurant was also good, food was nice for a resonable price

Five starts are not enough. This part is very safe, very interesting, very educative, and comprehensive in many many ways. I would recommend this park for any family with children between the age of 1 to 14 years. I believe they can do a lot here and they can develop their children from many aspects in this park. I wish this park all the best, and I have it always keep it as good organized as we have always seen it before.

Magnificent park. Perfect during a sunny day. I was lucky enough to find a perfect weather during these day I visited it.

Very nice park. Great to go trekking, walk your dog and even sunbathe (not that it's possible during winter, but great opportunity in summer). Very beautiful nature...

Nice location. Very beautiful and wooded. Was there for the reggea festival Rotterdam. And it was great. A location for a picnic. A swimming pool and a mini beach. Also accessible by boat. There is a riser there.

Very nice place. Pleasant atmosphere. Calm and quite place.

most beautiful park i have ever been to. must walk around on a sunny day.

Reggae festival. Do I say more?

Very chill place, lots of good parties and festivals too

(Translated by Google) Beautiful winter day December 21, 2021, sunny and windless. Perfect for a bike ride. (Original) Mooie winterdag 21 december 2021, zon en windstil. Perfect voor een fietstocht.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful area for walking and sailing. (Original) Mooi gebied om te wandelen en te varen.

(Translated by Google) A place of enjoyment and beauty since my childhood. A beautiful area to live or visit. The area is named after the river De Rotte, which runs to Rotterdam and after which the city is named. The Rotte is so wide in two places that small lakes are lined here. I sailed on it a lot as a child and even skated on it. (Original) Al vanaf mijn kindertijd een plek van genieten en schoonheid. Een prachtig gebied om te wonen of te bezoeken. Het gebied is vernoemd naar de rivier De Rotte, welke tot in Rotterdam loopt en waar de stad naar vernoemd is. De Rotte is op twee plaatsen zo wijd dat hier kleine meren gevoerde zijn. Als kind veel op gezeild en zelfs op geschaatst.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful nature reserve so close to the city. Wonderful silence and those views. Only those cyclists, they are...not allowed to say by Google. Very annoying on the cycle paths. (Original) Prachtig natuurgebied zo dichtbij de stad. Heerlijk die stilte en die vergezichten. Alleen die wielrenners,die zijn……mag niet zeggen van Google. Zeer hinderlijk op de fietspaden.

(Translated by Google) The Rottemeren is a system of widening the river Rotte located between the A12 in the north, Bleiswijk in the west, Zevenhuizen in the east and Oud Verlaat in the south. They are located on the border of the municipalities of Bleiswijk (Lansingerland) and Zevenhuizen (Zuidplas) It is a beautiful area for cycling (around Rotte) or walking. In winter for skating and in summer for boating. The Zevenhuizense Molen4gang is located on the Rottemeren. On the Bleiswijk side there is a beautiful green border. And an old wooden lock. And a marina on both sides of the lake. (Original) De Rottemeren is een stelsel van verbredingen van de rivier de Rotte gelegen tussen de A12 in het noorden, Bleiswijk in het westen, Zevenhuizen in het oosten en Oud Verlaat in het zuiden. Ze liggen op de grens van de gemeenten Bleiswijk ( Lansingerland) en Zevenhuizen ( Zuidplas) Het is een mooie gebied om te fietsen ( rondje Rotte) of te wandelen. In de winter om te schaatsen en in de zomer om te varen. De Zevenhuizense Molen4gang ligt aan de Rottemeren. Aan de Bleiswijkse kant een mooie groenzoom. En een oude houten schutsluis. En aan beide zijden van het meer een jachthaven.

(Translated by Google) Very nice area, also for a day out, there is also a day camping site, good for testing out the camper tent or caravan and also being able to sunbathe or swim, also good water sports options such as marinas 👍🏻 (Original) Erg leuk gebied , ook voor een dagje weg , ook een dagcampeerterrein is aanwezig , goed om de camper tent of caravan uit te testen en ook nog te kunnen zonnen of zwemmen, tevens goede watersport mogelijkheden zoals jachthavens 👍🏻

(Translated by Google) Wonderful recreation area! (Original) Heerlijk recreatiegebied!

Amazing spot, for a chill out, walk, or just doing a picnic with friends

I actually went to the other place which is the nature park. They could have added free parking for those going there. It's impossible to arrive without a car. First your kid gets dirty, then by public transportation its about 2h instead of 15min for me Pity!

My favorite place to run. There is a running track that I often use. There is a playground for kids also but it is gated so sometimes its closed.

Good place to make barbecue with family and friends if you don't have a backyard 😉

Marketed as a place where children can play and get wet, that part is true. But the water is really dirty, and almost everything has sand covered on it. Children will enjoy themselves, but to be honest, there are like two swings and a slide there and that's about it. I'd expected at least a lot of rope bridges and other tedious assignments for the entrance fee.

Spacious green park. With a running track, basketball, and soccer field(s). As well as a frisbee track. In summer a lot of barbecue parties are held there. Protection from the rain can be obtained under the elevated railway track. On the side of the mosque, you can find the entrance to the Essenburg park (walk a few hundred meters). Much more quiet and with an area where dogs can run free (which is not allowed in the Roel Langerak park)

I'm reviewing this park from the point of view of a disc golf player. I have played several rounds here over the past few months and have grown to really like this course. This 18 hole course contains 3 shared baskets on holes 2 and 12, 4 and 5, and 9 and 10, which could be a problem if the park was crowded with players, but usually it is just crowded with people picnicking on the fairways. I am usually the only person playing disc golf on the park and I have never actually seen another player while at this course. Holes 5 and 7 feature throwing over water, while holes 6, 9, and 10 are close to the water and you could have a wet disc if you turn a shot over a little too far or grip lock. My favorite hole is probably 11 because of the full power drives but also hole 3 and 13 because of the the challenging tunnel shots.

De Harmonie can be called as a modern restaurant but with less French accents than the expectations. During the 5-course dinner experience, most of waitresses were attentive and knowledgeable. However, most of them gave me a feeling that they are knowledgeable from memorizing/reciting ingredients for course and wine menu - lack of sincere passion for culinary. The highlight of my dinner experience is the presentation. From appetizers to desserts to mint candies, every dish was decorated creatively with colorful ingredients. The first appetizer - raw tuna wrapped in crunchy rice wrap sprinkled with matcha powder - was such an amazing opening. It is easily the best dish out of all courses. The overall dining experience is without a doubt pleasant and enjoyable where we see creative and talented chefs bring different ingredients into one single dish. However, the taste is my biggest critiques towards the 5-course dinner. From my subjective experience, the chefs try to experiment on harmonizing different ingredients but it backfires the overall taste and texture (some ingredients bring very intrusive taste or texture that does not hold the synergy). Hence, looking forwards to ore harmony in the dishes from talented hands :)

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere! From the very first moment, the warm smiles and genuine welcome made a lasting impression. I requested a vegetarian 7-course menu, and the creativity in each dish was truly outstanding. Every course felt unique and exceptional. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. A special thanks to the wonderful ladies working there. Their professionalism and dedication to service are truly admirable!

Excellent food, the flavors worked really well together, absolutely recommend the 5-course menu! The portions were also relatively generous for fine dining. Great presentation of the dishea. And great service!

I was there for Valentine’s Day and got the 23 course Valentine’s menu. Most dishes incorporate hearts which made them match the day’s vibe. Everything was perfect: the food was great and looked amazing, the lighting and atmosphere were perfect, and the service was impeccable. I’m not going to say it was cheap, as it is a fine dining restaurant, but the value you get is amazing! It actually feels really cheap when you acknowledge the amount of work that goes into every dish and in making the experience so perfect. Also they gave us a rose at the end of the meal which I found very thoughtful. Nothing bad can be said, just amazing!

What an amazing place! The food was very tasteful, the wine paring was good, the service was excellent and ambiance was great, all that for a (relatively) reasonable price. Highly recommended. PS: did you know you can get a 23 course dinner here as well?

The 23-course tasting menu with wine pairing was done really well, everything was prepared great and they were fast with bringing everything out since it took around 4h in total. The mis of flavors and how they went along with the wine was spectaculous! The staff were very friendly, professional, and explained everything in detail.

Superlatives apply to this legendary restaurant: elegant, sophisticated, high-end luxury dining but in my view more importantly, scrumptious food beautifully executed and presented, the best personnel I've come across in a long time and perfect location at one of the most beautiful areas of the city. What a memorable evening hopefully to be repeated soon. Please note that reservation for any evening of the week is absolutely necessary and they take the reservation very seriously as there's a waiting list on the day. Highly recommended!

Had high hopes before coming here. Sadly, it did not live up to the expectations. Of course, taste differs. The food looks good. The taste is just ok. Indonesian with a twist. The chicken satay was good. The cocktails were good as well. The other dishes were not that great. Shared dining concept, so small amounts on the plates. It's a nice concept, but it was quite expensive for the amount that you're getting (and the quality). Staff is friendly, but wasn't that fast. Might be because they may be understaffed, perhaps.

Great indonesian go-to dishes and killer cocktails. The indo-fried chicken was my favorite dish. The Rhubarbarino my favorite cocktail. But wanna try them all ofcourse! Quirky yet fun staff and a lovely atmosphere. Good vibes only ❤️ Will come back.

Such a nice place in this off-beat area of the city. Service, cocktails and snacks are very enjoyable as well as the relaxed outdoor space they created. I definitely want to go back to try their food menu.

My first experience with the indonesian food and it was way better than I could imagine. We started with Rendang kroketjes and Lemper, so tasty, but the best part is definitely Sate, both pork and chicken. So tender, full of flavour. Cocktails match the food perfectly. The ambiance is cosy and the staff are cheerful and helpful. Unique experience.

Stumbled upon the Calaboose as we were going for a walk by Kralingse Bos, lake and forest nearby. Ordered a tasty vegetarian mixed meal for two people, served with delicious jackfruit and tempeh, along with various greens and rice. Was a truly lovely meal, drinks were great too. Staff were welcoming and friendly, the restaurant was a quirky, charming place with a nice outdoor dining area. Highly recommended!

Super nice bar/restaurant in Kralingen. Their terrace is very nice, the restaurant inside is well decorated and the cocktails and food are delicious. Highly recommend and will visit again

I would give 10 stars if i could! The service was amazing, the waitress were very friendly, learned something new about mezcal and the vibe was just intimate and enjoyable! The food was delicious even glorious! We had 3 rounds of shared dining, the ayam goreng, rendang, and sate ayam were my top 3 favorites! Next time, i would like to try the sate udang yummm!

Tucked within The Park (het Park) where the Euromast is located.....an oasis of tranquility in the middle of the bustling city. Ideal for strolling especially during dry sunny days...The entrance is at Kievietslaan.

Nice a calm small garden. A real hidden gem.

The Secret Garden next to the park is such a beautiful hidden spot in Rotterdam — perfect for a peaceful walk or to take some stunning photos. It’s amazing how quickly you forget you’re still so close to the city center; it really feels like stepping into nature. The atmosphere is calm and romantic, making it a great place for a relaxed date or just to unwind and enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by greenery.

A delightful, lovely, small garden but with beautiful historical trees and plants which carry name plates in front of them in Dutch. Plenty of benches to have a break and enjoy the serene environment. The garden is easily accessible from the centre of the city. It is very close to Het Park.

A hidden gem in Rotterdam. A quaint little park with benches, a fountain, and a variety of plants (nothing too exotic) awaits in the heart of Rotterdam. It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a moment of serenity—unless a loud helicopter flies overhead. (You're a stone's throw away from the hospital, after all.) There are no food or drink vendors in the park, so bring your own from the conveniently located Albert Heijn just a short walk away. There are bins throughout the park so don't litter! It's absolutely worth your time.

Tranquil little pocket park that's easy to miss. Easy short strolls amid lush vegetation and hidden fountains. Small aviary and beehive as well. Clearly a scenic place with wedding photographs happening during my visit.

Hidden garden full of greenery and beautiful plants. Lots of seating, calm and peaceful, perfect for relaxing or reflecting.

Very lovely place with delicious drinks (the food looked and smelled great), a bit pricey though. It’s nice to sit outside between all the gardens.

Lovely garden and delicious vegetarian menu. Amazing attention to detail.

Wery nice place to rest and get some herbs.

A wonderful place!

(Translated by Google) Super nice people. Helpful. Work as a volunteer. Pss recordings made. (Original) Super lieve mensen. Behulpzaam. Werk als vrijwilliger. Pss opnames gemaakt.

(Translated by Google) Nice city herb garden where I love to visit on warmer days. The menu also varies from season to season. Product prices are a bit on the high side for my class, a student. (Original) Fijne stadskruidentuin waar ik op de wat warmere dagen maar al te graag kom. Van seizoen tot seizoen ook variërend menukaart. Prijzen van producten liggen voor mijn klasse, student, wat aan de hoge kant.

(Translated by Google) Very nice initiative! Nice to have this in the neighborhood. (Original) Erg leuk initiatief! Mooi om dit in de buurt te hebben.

(Translated by Google) Quite funny to see in the middle of the city. If you like organic and vegetarian, completely hip and the place to be. The toilets outside without a drain and with sawdust to cover your needs in a biologically responsible way go a long way for me personally. (Original) Wel grappig om te zien midden in de stad. Als je van biologisch en vega houdt helemaal hip en de place to be. De toiletten buiten zonder afvoer en met zaagsel om biologisch verantwoord je behoefte af te dekken gaan mij persoonlijk wel ver.

(Translated by Google) Good initiative! I would like to suggest posting updates of activities on Google, just as is done at the Gardens of Mies Ruys in Dedemsvaart. (Original) Goed intitatief! Ik zou willen voorstellen om updates van activiteiten op Google te plaatsen, net zoals bij de Tuinen van Mies Ruys in Dedemsvaart gedaan wordt.

(Translated by Google) Nice people and if you get a strip card you can choose a bit yourself with the supervisor, which is really nice (Original) Leuke mensen en je mag als je een strippenkaart zelf een beetje kiezen met de begeleider samen echt fijn

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place to take a break from all the hustle and bustle. (Original) Heerlijke plek om even bij te komen van al die drukte.

(Translated by Google) Great fun concept and enthusiastic volunteer spoken..! Nice.. (Original) Geweldig leuk concept en enthousiaste vrijwilliger gesproken..! Leuk..

(Translated by Google) Kudos to this location and the volunteers on whom many people depend (Original) Hulde aan deze locatie en vrijwilligers waarvan veel mensen afhankelijk zijn

(Translated by Google) A beautiful garden to sit and enjoy the beautiful plantings. (Original) Een prachtige tuin om er te zitten genieten van de prachtige aanplanting.

Excellent view and great concept for the farm. BUT avoid the restaurant there: The new place after rebranding is not nice. Very cliche trying to appeal to hipsters - fake authentic. Waiters were poor at noticing you. Poached eggs were hard and the waittress tried to convince me that poached eggs are meant to be hard and that I should have asked for them to be runny. Only worthwhile reason to go is the view.

You are amazing guys!!!

(Translated by Google) This roof could be viewed somewhere during a walk. It took a while to find where the entrance was, but I found it anyway. With a small elevator to the top. Nice initiative, with a small terrace. Too busy to grab anything when we got there. Also take a look at the area before you go back to the center (Original) Tijdens een wandeling zou ergens dit dak te bezichtigen zijn. Was even zoeken waar de ingang was, maar toch gevonden. Met een kleine lift naar boven. Leuk initiatief, met een klein terras. Toen we er waren te druk om wat te pakken. Kijk ook even in de omgeving voordat je weer terug naar het centrum gaat

(Translated by Google) We ate today on the so-called “Dach Acker” and were totally thrilled. We were here for lunch in the bright sunshine based on the recommendation of our wonderful tour guide. We ordered the cheese steak and the katsu chicken, as well as later the truffle lattice potatoes. To drink we had cranberry lemonade and a Belgian beer. You just sit in a garden above the rooftops of Rotterdam. It was great ☺️ (Original) Wir waren heute auf dem sogenannten “Dach Acker” essen und sind total begeistert. Wir waren hier beim strahlenden Sonnenschein zum Mittag aufgrund der Empfehlung unseres wundervollen Tourguides. Wir haben das Cheese Steak und das Katsu Chicken, sowie später die Trüffel Gitter Kartoffeln bestellt. Zu Trinken hatten wir die Cranberry Limonade und ein belgisches Bier. Man sitzt einfach über den Dächern Rotterdams in einem Garten. Es war mega ☺️

(Translated by Google) I can only agree with the praise for the place. But I have to express my displeasure with the food. I had a fish burger + lattice fries for €20!!! The fish deserved a 0 for taste; it was cooked in the fat for far too long, was very dry, and the breading was almost dark brown. My partner's was similarly similar, with something with broiche and fried meat, also very dry. We don't recommend these two dishes. (Original) Kann mich an die lobenden Worte der Örtlichkeit nur anschließen. Muss aber beim Essen meinen Unmut hier äussern. Ich hatte einen Fischburger +Gitter Frites für 20 € !!! wobei der Fisch Geschmacklich eine 0 verdient hätte, viel zu lange im Fett, sehr trocken und die Panade ging schon fast gegen Dunkelbraun, dementsprechend auch bei meiner Partnerin, irgendwas mit Broiche und Fritierten Fleisch,auch alles sehr trocken. Diese beiden Gerichte sind aus unseren Augen nicht zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Cool and relaxed rooftop bar. Cool atmosphere, very tasty regional food, friendly, courteous staff, good and beautifully prepared drinks, you should make a reservation or bring some time with you. The entrance is on the street through large glass doors with blue frames. (Original) Coole und lockere Dachkneipe . Cooles Ambiente sehr leckeres regionales Essen, freundliches zuvorkommendes Personal, gut und schön angerichtete Getränke, man sollte reservieren oder etwas Zeit mitbringen.

(Translated by Google) Nice location to visit. Very nice initiative. Hope that more cities will follow suit with planted roofs. For collecting water, growing vegetables, fruit, herbs, composting. And also possibly. solar panels to live, work and live more sustainably. (Original) Leuke locatie om te bezoeken. Heel mooi initiatief. Hoop dat er meerdere steden volgen met beplante daken. Voor opvang water, verbouwen van groenten, fruit, kruiden, composteren. En ook evt. zonnepanelen om duurzamer te wonen, werken, leven.

A very nice and calm park to clear your mind with a beautiful view on central station of rotterdam

Mostly some fields with trees and shrubs around. Suitable for picnics or playing. Plenty of benches, small playground, some farm animals and a community garden that's accessible for visitors (separate opening hours). Frequently used for events. Note that security closes the gates sometime in the early evening.

Quite and nice park in Rotterdam, it's really small but just to relax and chill out is perfect

Nice place to take a rest in city center. Nice, quite and soo green. Love it

During the recent heatwave where the temperature reached 42°c, I took cover here from the midday sun. The park is really sweet and centrally located. There is a small play park area and botanic garden. Rather unusually there is a free toilet with a tap for drinking water.

A park in the middle of the city and Chinatown of Rotterdam. The Kruiskade side is often used for festivities but normally a peaceful place to sit down and relax. However when you walk further inside it is absolutely shocking. It's run down, unkempt and unpleasant. The public toilet is gross and filthy. What a great shame! Please note that the 'Wijk Tuin' at the very back of the park is lovely and is privately maintained.

Nice park

Very chill park to relax with your family, by yourself or with friends. The ducks walk the whole park btw, don’t be scared if you wake up surrounded by them.

Rosenberg Park is a well taken care part with plenty of space for pic nic and walker round! is just a few meters away from the Kralingen lake

A small but beautiful park. Usually very quiet with just a few families around, close to Kralingsebos and lots of open grass for picnics.

One of the nicest green heart area of Rotterdam next to Kralingse park. Less busy that kralingse park, yet its very nice and medium size park in Kralingen. Recommended for walk, sit down and chill with your dog/ children/ books.

Beautiful park not too far from the city centre. An oasis of peace in this bustling city

Nice place to read books, boat peddling and wind surfing. Children enjoy playing here and families make BBQ.

I like this park very much. I've been there for several times during my stay in Rotterdam. Such a relaxing and peaceful place.

A little forest that actually feels not so artificial and has some randomness to it. The noise from the highway is a bit too much though.

Well, it is a nice little garden, but if the goal is to escape the city and the noise, and spend a few hours a bit closer to nature, you will be disappointed. First, it is located right next to the (very busy) motorway. So the place is noisy. Secondly, the park is tiny. It takes 20 minutes to get around, then you either do the same again or go home. On the positive side, it is close to Den Haag and Rotterdam. But then again: both cities have bigger/better parks than this one.

Good spot to clear the head.

Nice quiet estate to walk about in close to the Schie. Has an interesting late 19th-century teahouse, which unfortunately now looks out over the highway...

Beautiful monumental scenery. Great for walking with or without a dog.

Nice estate, interesting steel walkways. Plenty to see

Nice place to relax

Quite a relaxing walk. Sadly most of the plants were dead though (not crazy with the recent heat), which meant there wasn't all too much to see.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place to stay. Many fun herbal events are organized there. (Original) Heerlijke plek om te vertoeven. Veel leuke kruiden evenementen worden er georganiseerd.

(Translated by Google) Lovely hidden garden. An oasis of peace with an entrance to the Afrikaanderpark. Nowadays also with a gnome path. (Original) Heerlijke verborgen tuin. Een oase van rust met ingang aan het Afrikaanderpark. Tegenwoordig ook met kabouterpad.

(Translated by Google) An old garden, small, but nice. Shady, nice in warm weather. Also have pots of plants for sale. (Original) Al oude tuin, klein, maar fijn. Schaduwrijk, lekker bij warm weer. Hebben ook potten met planten te koop.

(Translated by Google) Great garden so beautiful and relaxing. Nice plants for sale for a reasonable price. And an informative herbal afternoon every week. (Original) Geweldige tuin zo mooi en rustgevend. Leuke plantjes te koop voor een zacht prijsje. En elke week een informatieve kruidenmiddag.

(Translated by Google) A very quiet place to stay in the beautiful greenery of the garden. This is a green oasis on the edge of the Afrikaanderplein, next to the playground near 't Kloostet. (Original) Een hele rustige verblijfplaats in het mooie groen van deheemtuin. Aan de rand van het Afrikaanderplein is dit een groene oase, naast de speeltuin vlakbij 't Kloostet.
