    It has lost its charm. No great shows. Hardly couple of them. They have not maintained well. Very unclean. This place was best 4-5 years before with full fledged entertainment for kids. But I would not suggest anyone to visit and even the ticket price is high. Also the restaurants are closed inside. Not fun anymore.

    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.

    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.

    (Translated by Google) amazing place! Trained dolphins! Really beautiful and fascinating to see the show with the dolphins! You can also have your picture taken with a dolphin for an additional fee! Trained seals, and sea lions! (Original) מקום מדהים! דולפינים מאולפים! ממש יפה ומרתק לראות את המופע עם הדולפינים! אפשר גם להצטלם עם דולפין בתוספת תשלום! כלבי ים מאולפים, ואריות ים!

    All the shows were in Dutch language! Do not recommend this for tourists. Not that interesting each show is barely 10 min long rest there is nothing many shows have overlap timings so you have to plan very well. There is a small water park without heated water which is okay !

    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

    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.

    A nice place to go and if you consider all the shows you can attend it's worth the price too. We had fun being there. Not every food point was open and the menü is not very clear. The Dolphin Show in the dome was great, but be aware that it's educational too and not a non-stop action.

    Everything was a bit dissapointing, almost all shops were closed, no gift shops, no food stands. The animals that were actually here were very pretty and cute, but it was all just so small and anti climatic. Also parking was very expensive and the tickets for the park were a bit pricey, that doesnt matter for me if the park is worth it. Sadly it wasnt for me..

    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

  • 4/5 Sabinas U. 6 months ago on Google • 105 reviews
    Wir waren im Oktober da , war nicht so viel los. Ein wunderschöner Ausflug für die Kindern, mit verschiedenen Attraktionen der Tiere. Leider wurde alles auf niederländisch erklärt und wir haben nichts verstanden gehabt, desshalb ein stern Abzug. Die Tickets haben wir online gebucht, da es günstiger war. Dort ist auch ein wunderschöner Strandabschnitt zu entspannen. Top , wir kommen definitiv wieder.

    (Translated by Google) It's so much fun, even during corona. I went to sleep with the dolphins for about half a year. The dolphins like it when you throw socks against the window. Hey the staff are doing a lot of fun❤️ (Original) Het is er zo leuk, zelfs tijdens corona. Ik ben er ong een half jaartje wezen slapen bij de dolfijnen. De dolfijnen vinden het leuk als je sokken tegen het raam gooit. Het personeel doen hey heel erg leuk❤️

    Absolutely beautiful. The Animals seem all to be very happy staff and caretakers are very friendly. Super worth it. Lots of things to see and do many places to sit and relax as well. All in all a wonderful experience.

    I partly agree with people who say that dolphins shouldn't be forced to live this way. On the other hand, they looked healthy and well taken care off. I would like to see a scientific study where it is proven that they are unhappy.

    Seeing dolphins was the best!! The show was amazing. I also enjoyed seeing sea lions and walruses. It is not a big place but you can enjoy your time there with family and friends. There were not many cheap food options.

    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.

    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.

  • 3/5 Nero I. 3 years ago on Google
    Recently visited Dolfinarium, and we had fun! We spend around 6,5 hours in the park to see all the shows that they offer with the animals, these shows are very well done, but it was a lot of waiting as the park is quite small. Sadly the way that the parks looks isn't the best, especially the enclosures of the animals don't look big enough for the animals, and they are mostly concrete and quite dirty which was a sad thing to see for such wonderful animals that are being held there. I must say that the animals are very well-trained indeed and do seem to get a lot of love from the zookeepers. For kids the park looks amazing as they have a lot of playgrounds and even a swimming pool with 3 big slides. The food quality within the park is also pretty good and the prices are fine. All-in-all we had fun with the shows as the animals really shine and you get informed a lot by the zookeeper. But it is sad to see the enclosures with nothing in it except the animals, especially for the Walrus. I do hope they will invest time and money in making the enclosures look more like their natural habitat even if it is just adding some plants and stones it would make it better for the animals and for the visitors. Final grade: 6 Favorite animals: Steller Sea Lion, Dolphin, and Walrus.

    Lovely experience, great opportunity to learn about the work they do and for children (and people of any age) to learn about sea life and dangers of plastic. Lovely to see the animals have a great relationship with the trainers❤ Not a lot of variety in the food department, you will struggle if you prefer to eat healthier or do not eat gluten (so feel free to take your own snacks) but it seems this is direct consequence of covid period, we assume the offering will get better in time, it's already a feat it didn't close down!

    They have dolphins, walruses, seals and more. Nice shows for kids. The aquariums are super dirty and I'm not sure it's healthy for the animals.

  • 4/5 Pavel �. 1 year ago on Google
    The dolphins show was nice but it is very controversial as it is still a circus with intelligent animals. The sea lions show was just boring. The food was quite bad. The best was the swiming in the sea with the kids and throwing the sea flowers one after another. The rays and sharks place should be banned. Sea raysnand sharks should not be touched by the kids. They are not dogs, cats or rabbits... In the sea the ray can kill you quickly. Here not as they stings are removed which is a torture on its own.

    Small place but a good visit for the experience. Keep the expectations low and you would very well enjoy. Check for online discounts you would find few. The Harderwijk village itself was very beautiful. P2 has day ticket. Better to park there and walk to the entrance. It takes 4-5 mins. Parking ticket was 10.5 eur. Obviously dolphins were the main attraction. Apart from the shows go to the underground to have near by view of dolphins and walrus. There are slides and play stuff for kids to fully engage. The beach and water slides were closed when we went.

  • 2/5 Omar G. 8 months ago on Google
    Very basic, nothing special. All the shows was so boring, except the main dolphin show, it was just below average. Also the dolphin show has specific times, with very long queue to get a seat, and the hall is huge, while the hall for the other shows are so tiny, this is very bad because all other shows are overcrowded and most likely you wont be able to even attend the shows. 2 stars only because it teaches about the dolphins and the environment, but it was super boring.

    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.

  • 4/5 Daniel L. 3 years ago on Google
    A bit run down, but maybe due to Corona closure and not preparing during the spring? Otherwise well ran and a good dolphin show.

  • 4/5 Jeroen 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Shaun D. 3 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed with the main dolphin show.. I don't know if it is because of Corona but the show was only 30 minutes and very basic. Just a couple of jumps and basically swimming back and forth. They didn't even use the ball which was visibly stowed away in the rafters. The rest of the park also had several closures and not much happening. The sea lions was basically a man throwing fish at then for 15 minutes. Many food stalls are closed, the restaurant only has a small takeaway selection. I hope it is so bad due to Corona, and its not really worth the full price based on this current setup.

  • 4/5 Deepika M. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely loved this place for their dolphin and sea lion show. Going there is an experience for people of every age group. They give you a map with timings of each show which helps you plan the day at ease. It's a clean place but the restaurant is super small and food options are very limited. So prefer to bring your own food. It would be nice if they could introduce few rides to keep people engaged during waiting period between the shows.

    Überschaubarer Park mit einigen Tierarten, die in gut einsehbaren und schönen Lebenswelten gezeigt werden. Highlight sind die Delphinshow, die man sich keinesfalls eben lassen sollte- und die Unterwasserwelt. Hier sieht man spielende Delphine und beeindruckende Walrosse zum Greifen nah. Achtung: bei schönem Wetter Badesachen mitnehmen, es gibt einen Wasserspielplatz (eher für jüngere, bis ca. 8-9. Eine Rutsche für ältere Kinder (/ Eltern) ist auch da, hat aber lange Wartezeiten!)! Den Stern Abzug gibt es für das Angebot der Restaurants. Wir fahren wieder hin!

    Lekker dagje Dolfinarium. We waren op tijd geen lange wachttijden en inchecken ging snel. De dolfijnen show was leuk en goed geregeld. De andere demonstratie waren ook leuk om te zien. Neem ook de tijd om romd te kijken er is van alles te zien en te leren. We hoopten nog gebruik te kunnen maken van de waterpret. Glijbanen. Daar was het helaas te druk voor. Met jonge kinderen veel te hectische. Punt van aandacht zijn de wc en kleedhokjes ivm corona. Geen goede doorstroming en geen 1.5 haalbaar. Op zo'n mooie warme dag is het strandje ook lekker. En de verkoelende sproeiers mochten er van ons wel meer zijn.

    Niet te doen in coronatijd. Veel te druk. Anderhalve meter bij sommige shows werd niet gehandhaafd, ondanks de borden dan terug te komen. De nieuwe dolfijnen show was bewust natuurlijk, het zit goed in elkaar. Gedrag en functioneren van de dieren, met filmbeeld werd gedemonstreerd. Maar de hal was benauwd, weinig luchtstroom van buitenaf, voor de areosolen corona kans om toe te slaan. De binnenkomst gaat goed ivm zitplaatsen en anderhalve meter. Maar eruit ?. Dit kan beter rij voor rij... laten gaan onder begeleiding. Waterpark ook te druk. Voor ons, zolang corona heerst, even geen parken, het werkt niet. Mensen werken gewoon niet mee. Mochten wij nu corona krijgen.........

  • 3/5 Joppe K. 3 years ago on Google
    A bit disappointing. It's more playground than animal park. There a very little animals to see, the dolphin show is very good and thankfully included in the ticket. There are many playgrounds and there is the opportunity to swim on a little beach in natural water and a small water playground filled to the brim with slides. Walking through the park is not enjoyable. There's no good walking route, the map is useless (doesn't work on mobile). There are no animals to watch, or anything else, when going from place to place, and a distinct lack of shady places. In conclusion, if you are coming for the animals it's likely disappointing for you. If you go for the playgrounds and to enjoy the occasional animal presentation you might have a good time. This would have been 1 star if the dolphin show wouldn't have been so excellent.

    De dieren worden zeer slecht behandeld. Ze leven in kleine omgevingen, moeten shows doen ieder dag voor voedsel. Hun huid raakt beschadigd door het water wat niet goed afgestemd is en ook wordt gevuld met chloor. Ook tonen de dieren telkens agressief gedrag, alleen is dit pas op te merken als je het begrijpt. Dit was echt een pijnlijke ervaring en ik hoop dat ze deze gevangenis snel sluiten.

    It's fine. Won't make a huge difference even if you miss it. It's probably just among some of the places left in the world for a dolphin show. The dolphin show was amazing. So was the sea lion show. Other than that the most enjoyable thing was the water park. Amazing slides for both adults and children

    (Translated by Google) Nice park. Good that they draw attention to the environment. Which means that animal activists don't actually have to come and do anything. Because now everyone is reminded of the waste which is bad for these and other animals. And yes they are wild animals they have. But they all went through something and did not just end up there. When we were there, there were activists at the entrance anyway, please stop and take care of your own life. (Original) Leuk park. Goed dat ze aandacht vragen voor het milieu. Waardoor dieren activisten eigenlijk niks te hoeven komen doen. Want nu word iedereen op het afval gewezen wat slecht is voor deze en andere dieren. En ja het zijn wilde dieren die zij hebben. Maar ze hebben allemaal iets mee gemaakt en niet zomaar daar terecht gekomen. Toen wij er waren waren er toch activisten bij de ingang, houd toch alstublieft op en houd je eigen bezig met je eigen leven.

    Nice one and very attractive life shows. Try to go early so you can maximize your enjoyment moments. The visit should take 4-6 hours with kids to give the kids time to try the playground there. The car barking is available with some fees ad I remember. It really worth every cent you spend there. The food there is really good so take your food or fruits with you.

  • 3/5 Jason P. 3 years ago on Google
    Really felt rundown. And with Covid and all the snack bars closed, it was if we were walking around a deserted aquarium. But the Dolphin show was wonderful and it appears they are doing a lot towards conservation, despite the animals in confinement.

  • 3/5 I E. 4 years ago on Google
    A park which includes about 4-5 different important species of the sea, which are in presented in shows. The sea lion show was really great but the most are just talking of the staff in Dutch for 10min without much else. Dolphins were great too, but we were disappointed by the sharks which were so small you wouldn't have guessed that they're sharks. Definitely not worth the price of 27(!)€ and 25,50€ for kids, which price reduction is a joke. Still great experience, but far too expensive for so little to see.

  • 5/5 Clare J. 3 years ago on Google
    It was amazing to see the dolphins in their lake area. Staff fed them so you could see them clearly. The dolphin show in the auditorium was amazing. Also I enjoyed the walruses show and the sea lions. Don't miss the underground viewing areas. The dolphins came right up to the windows it was great!

    Nice for the kids to see and enjoy the dolphins, sea lions, and Walruses. There is also a playground, in addition to the usual snack shops, gift shop, and a restaurant. The best show is the indoor dolphin show, which is average compared to other dolphin shows I've seen. The other presentations are just OK. Keep in mind that all the shows are in Dutch with the exception of the indoor dolphin show which has English subtitles. Tickets are a bit pricey (during my visit, tickets cost 21 euros for 3 years and older!). You also have to pay for parking, for which there multiple starting at the entrance right until 10-min walk from it.

Thanks to the excellent staff we were able to improvise and the girls got to go in for the last 45 minutes. We recommend a visit and look forward to returning again soon.

    Great place to spend with the kids. Water play area in summer added bonus . 4 star rating because because in dolphin show acoustics not good and a glow wand toy was being sold for 10 euro a piece ( just a basic toy that lights up ) kind of sad because a lot of kids would not have got one because of the ridiculous price

    This place was very promising and it did provide many highlights, the focus is on education and not on giving a show to the audience which I appreciate, however all the instructed activities are in Dutch. Not very accessible for non Dutch speakers. Dolphins show was the highlight. How much time should you plan to be there? 2-4 hours max. Depending on the kids playgrounds usage..

  • 5/5 Silas M. 9 months ago on Google
    A 5 minute walk from the bus stop but the place is easy to spot and get to. If you are lucky you might walk through a beautiful market on way to the Dolfinarium. There are boat rides available just before getting Into the Dolfinarium for extra activities. Don't throw away the slushy bottle when the kids finish it, you can go back and just refill it at the stall. The Dolphin shows are just so incredible, and the seals also put on a nice show. You can walk around for a bit enjoying with the kids but once you get to the waterpret you will need a bunch of beach towels to lay on and enjoy the sun while the kids make super slide memories in the sun. Tiny tots upto adults can enjoy safe fun in these waters so don't be shy and bring swimming clothes.

    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 .
