Sea Life Scheveningen

I love the aquarium and this one was super fun to see. I wish I got to see the otters but the penguins were super cute and the alligator too. The underwater tunnel was beautiful and the shark in there was so pretty. Would definitely recommend going. Also placed beautifully near the ocean and after you can take a nice walk on the pier too.

A slightly salty review of Sea Life — lots of people, little fish, expensive tickets. I went to sea life as a kid, when you could still hear touch all of the fish. I wanted to take my kid for that same experience, and while they enjoyed it, I did not. The whole set up hasn’t changed since the nineties and feels like it’s straight out of movie set for some B-movie. There are literally vending machines with candy and drinks everywhere sometimes two in one room. The vending machines crowd out the tanks and the fish and in between the bad lightening and poor air circulation, if they put some slot machines in—it would be hard to know if you’re in Sea World or Holland Casino. It was very crowded and the set up was too narrow for the number of people, which really should be capped. They have some nice sections with different types of animals including a small crocodile and and the penguins. But the enclosures are small making it hard to enjoy the experience. The underwater tunnel feels like you’re actually diving, as the air circulation is terrible and it feels like you’re deprived of oxygen walking through it. Some of the windows desperately need a clean, for instance it was near impossible to see the otters because the glass was stained so badly. I like that they did some education on environmentalism here and there and that they contribute to breeding various species. That being said, for a whopping 64-65 euros for two adults and 1 kid, this place really needs to be lifted out of the nineties. If I’m going to be paying Disney prizes I’m going to expect a ride, rather than a school of vending machines and plenty of people rather than fish in the Sea (Life)

Very fun experience! Went here on a date for the animal crossing event. We had fun reading all the fun facts, looking at the animals and meeting Tom Nook. The aquarium was also a lot bigger than ecpected and we were inside for about 1.5 hours which is longer than we expected. Would love to visit again.

Not much different from an aquarium exhibit in a zoo, animal-wise. However, the decoration is outstanding. The sea horse mansion!! I went for the Animal Crossing event which was very cute, I even got to meet Tom Nook

It's a very charming place - they had koi fish, some seahorses, little sharks and all. However the penguins were missing which was the main reason for me being here. Very unofrtunate. The place is also very kid friendly, which is nice - and your little one can read fun facts about fish and collect stamps. A good time.

We had a wonderful time! The staff was great and the aquariums were immaculate.

It's a nice aquarium to go to with the kids on the weekend. When you go, you watch live how the staff feed the animals. The staff explain some of the creatures to you and let you touch them. It's great to examine many living things up close. There is an area where you can do pictures and other activities with the children, it is very nice. There is a place where you can take photos with your family and create souvenir photos for yourself with a photoshop. There is a souvenir shop inside. We had so much fun .

A lot to see of the sea and presented very well. They had unfortunately a small electrical outage which resulted in a small portion with limited lighting with a nice ambiance though ;-)

The sea life Scheveningen is just like the aquariums everywhere else, sharks, penguins, coloured fishes, etc. but this one is just on the beach side, so kids love it so much!
