We visited with our 10 year old daughter; it was my first time back since I was a kid. I appreciate how they’ve made possible for kids to get close and experience these animals, while keeping the focus on the animals’ care and well-being rather than on entertaining. We had a lovely time. Also, kudos to the very clever coffee deal: Get a reusable cup and refills on all warm drinks at the park are free.

If you are a curious aquatic life lover you should definitely visit.

You will get to know a lot of information about the fishes and dolphins. Just know the information will be provided in Dutch. The place is great for kids and adults as well.

There is one main show of dolphin in the grand theatre and it’s in English and a must watch. It’s enticing they treat all the animals so well. The tricks dolphins do it’s beautiful to watch.

We did dolphin experience as well which is paid extra where you can touch and play with dolphins and learn a little more about them. It was quite an experience to have. I would totally recommend it but it’s a bit pricey. Totally your call.

It was great and we enjoyed a lot. It also had a little water park, lots of fun.
And every day in different times: dolfin show, zeeleeuw show and a seemermaid theater show.
And also three different playgrounds and a little beach, it was a nice place

Never fun to see animals in captivity esp. for commercial interests. On the other hand kids see and learn a lot. Park is nice but is ageing and needs fresh investment. The dolphin exhibit in the main dome is the highlight. Sea lions, walrus, rays and seals can also be seen. Not a huge area so easy to walk even with toddlers. They also have a small beachfront.

Good place if the weather is warm the waterpark is nice dolphin show was nice too I would recommend to start with the water games and then the dolphin show no matter if the queue to long the hall is too big to fit everyone . You can bring your snacks with you. We had lots of dun fun only one thing I wished we stayed longer the park close 17:00 it needs to be longer specially in summer holiday .

Nice place to go with children. You can see many sea animals and they have regular shows. I highly recommend the show with dolphins, our kids loved it. At weekends it might become very crowded. Better buy the tickets in advance online.

Its like a wonderful well kept sea animal zoo. The dolphins are so lovely. Loads of sea lions. All included with a beach on site where you can relax after a fun day. Restaurant on site are good too. Would recommend going early inthe day, especially since all the shows are scheduled at different times, you have to plan in advance.
Website needs to be improved though, not much information as to how to navigate the place.
Special regards to trainers, you can see their bond with the animals

If you’re looking for a different experience and a great time, then I would recommend you to come spend a day here. Not only do you get to see varieties of animal up close, they also have several amazing-educational shows, and a variety of snacks you can adquiere if hungry. I thought it was amazing that the staff raised awareness about the importance of taking care of the planet, while also teaching us about the particular animals and providing a show for us. There also have interactive activities, such as using rocks to cross a pool of water and pet some of the fish. I spent around 4 hours there so make sure you reserve enough time of your day for this visit.

It's really interesting and fun for all the family. The staff treats with love and good care to the animals. You can enjoy every show and corner of the beautiful park dedicated to some of the most wonderful sea animals.

Amazing place for a day trip for kids and even adults. We love all the shows, especially how well executed the Dolphin show is. We have been to this places more than 5 times and still like it. There little village and the walking path next to it, is beautiful, that always a nice way to conclude the trip.

Everything is very well taken care of, and clean, the staffs are very nice too, always smiling and friendly to kids.

The playground is nice and the water park is super. However, the changing room & toilet there need to be improved. The water is a bit cold, so if there is no sun, it can be quite cold, i guess kids have no problem with that.

Totally recommended.
