Dinner Rotterdam’s Blijdorp zoo

As a special end to the first day of DISH2009 there is a unique dinner in the Shark Tunnel at Rotterdam’s Blijdorp zoo. The Shark Tunnel is part of Blijdorp’s underwater world.

You can enjoy a delicious meal under the watchful eye of turtles, sharks and tropical fish. The dinner is open to DISH participants who registered in advance when they booked for the conference. You will find your ticket in your badge.

A bus service will run between de Doelen and Blijdorp zoo between 18:00 and 18:45. Please ensure you are outside the main entrance of the building in order to get a lift. For the return journey there will be free buses running from the zoo to de Doelen between 21:45 and 22:30.

For those who didn’t register for the dinner, there are several good restaurants nearby. We recommend Blue Mekong, Las Palmas or the restaurant at Hotel New York.
