I live in the netherlands and love burgers zoo. I think i visit once every 1-2 years... so i know what to expect. But it still amazes me. The 'new mangrove' is cool. But there was an old iteration i think i loved even more. A small dinkey enclosure where you would walk on wooden walkwaus only centimeters above the grey mud fields. That was less pretty to see, but did give a very immersive experience. Still, the new thing is more spectacular. Thanks for the revieuw

That’s actually one of the benefits of having a large aquarium vs a small one. Changes occur very slowly as opposed to a small tank which can go belly-up and be shocked virtually over night.

This really is one of the best zoo’s in the Netherlands! That reef tank is even more impressive when you see it live, it is so colorful. Another great reef tank is in Blijdorp, it’s not as old as this one and really needs to mature but the way it’s setup is great. You start out at a beach and slowly go deeper until you’re in a tube under a tank with big sharks. Really nice one too and the cool think is it has tides as well.

@@timlow131 Did you listen? These corals have been growing in that aquarium for 22 years. And I know it isn't mentioned, but no coral was damaged to start this, coral larvae were caught in the wild at spawning and settled in the aquarium. As over 99% of coral larvae die in the wild, catching some (less than 1% of a single spawning) doesn't hurt the wild population.
