"Exploring the Deep at SEALIFE Among the most popular attractions for kids of all ages on the Scheveningen esplanade is SEA LIFE, home to more than 200 sea creature species and over 4,000 individual aquatic animals. At an interactive rock pool, see sharks, turtles, stingrays, clownfish, jellyfish and dangerous piranhas up close and personal. Touch live anemones, hold a hermit crab, and see stars at a collection of knobbed, chocalate chip and sunflower starfish. Discover what other creatures inhabit waters along the Dutch coastline, including dolphins, otters and rare turtles. In 2013, SEA LIFE Scheveningen was honored with ZooSite's "most special birth" award, recognizing the arrival of Titulus, a black tip reef shark who now swims around in a special cage in SEALIFE's ocean tank. The aquarium is a pioneer in seahorse breeding, having spawned nine different species over the past two decades. Exhibits are stocked with starfish bred in the park, so none are ever taken from the wild for exhibition purposes. Through extensive breeding, SEALIFE aims to save starfish and other endangered sea creatures from extinction. With its sister brand, Seal Sanctuaries, it annually rescues, cares for and returns more than 100 orphaned, injured and sick seal pups to the wild."

Very, very impressive. I didn't expect to see such a big variety of fish. Don't hesitate to visit this aquarium. For kids this will be a big waw!

A very interesting aquatic museum. At the entrance, the little ones receive a map and participate in a mysterious treasure hunt while visiting the museum. In a projection room, they can draw and see how their drawings come to life once they have been scanned.

Really nice aquarium. Lots of different fish here with a lot of different decorations as well. Which makes the atmosphere really great!

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)

25€ for a small aquarium is not worth it. Especially when it concerns the wellbeing of the maritime creatures they have. The aquariums were to small for most of them and the penguin had their wings blocked with bracelets of plastic with no need for that.

We had a great time at Sea Life Scheveningen! It wasn’t too busy, which made it easy to explore at our own pace. Everything was well maintained and clean. Our 2.5-year-old son really enjoyed seeing the fish, turtles, and especially the tunnel with sharks. A perfect outing for young kids! There is no place to store your coat and bag. Good to remember this as it was a bit warm.

A pretty nice aquarium! It’s definitely more geared towards children but adult who enjoy sea life can also have a good experience here. What made the visit for us was the scanner app that allows you to scan fish on your phone, learn more facts about them, and complete quests. This app is very well done and highly recommended as a part of your visit. This way we spent more time enjoying the exhibits and not rushing through. The Otters are very very cute. We noticed there was only one and asked the staff where the other is. We learned they are slowly being introduced to eachother because one is new to the aquarium. The staff are great and so knowledgeable. They can tell you lots about the animals if you have questions.

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!
