Zoos v. Museums
The Dutch people have chosen De Efteling as their favourite attraction for a day out. Apparently, people from all strata of society appreciate the diversity of this amusement park in Kaatsheuvel (near Tilburg). Second place goes to Dolfinarium Harderwijk. The Dutch love their zoos and aquariums and pretty much anything to do with animals, so Artis in Amsterdam secured third place. Museums, on the other hand, aren't that popular, judging by their low positions among the rankings. Rijksmuseum Amsterdam was awarded only 10th place.
