    All in all is the price of almost 16 euro per person to high for the amount of time to spend and the size of the place. In and out in about an hour. Half of the aquariums are on viewing hight for adults. So the kids have to be carried. Not that handy. That whole place is a bit like a tunnel, except not make as a tank tunnel, pity. The pool to pet some fish is nicely done. Seems the fish even like it, as the keep coming. Seals seem to have a bit small size, specially after reading the distance they would normally travel each day. They can also see they whole tank at ones. So nothing to discover again. The rather large movie theater, with a Attenborough movie, would better be a nice tank...

    Warning: There is never availability of the discounted parking. Other tourists double park (see the photos) and the staff at the aquarium don’t care and will do nothing to help you or address the situation. They didn’t realize I also speak Dutch and never offered me a reimbursement that they had offered other native Dutch visitors. Shameful of them and completely ruined the experience at the aquarium for me. Reply: The only reasonable response here would have been to contact me and offer me a reimbursement for a portion of my parking expense (you have all my details from our booking) and offer apologies for the conduct of your staff.

    Very nice, relatively small aquarium, but definitely worth seeing. Everything was very clean and in good condition. We particularly liked the open pool with the stingrays and cat sharks and the seal pool. In terms of price, however, the visit was top class at over €50 for two adults and a small child.

    (Translated by Google) Super aquarium! Not horribly big, but just nice to walk around. A lot of animals, fish, shells, etc. Beautifully laid out and thought about interaction. Recommended! (Original) Super aquarium! Niet afschuwelijk groot, maar gewoon fijn om rond te lopen. Bijzonder veel dieren, vissen, schelpen etc om te aanschouwen. Mooi alles neergezet en gedacht aan interactie. Aanrader!

    Nice aquarium, much larger on the inside than you would expect. However, most of the cages feel to small for the animals kept inside

    Wonderful little aquarium on the beach at Bergen aan Zee. Of course you can't keep up with the large, prominent facilities here, but everything is wonderfully lovingly designed and there is really a lot to see. A recommendation not just for rainy days.

    Easy to find, but with few parking spaces. The entry price is high for the right offered. The staff is nice. There are lots of fish and shells to see, two seals and a few reptiles. Some pools are overcrowded. The same applies to the entire Sea Aquarium. It was so full that sometimes you couldn't get through. Therefore only 3 stars.

  • 3/5 M. H. 7 months ago on Google • 273 reviews
    A great place for rainy days, there is a lot to see, but it's too small a space for people and definitely too small for animals. The price is absolutely right - if the weather is bad, be sure to get there early

    It's great for the kids but extremely expensive for the price. Too few play opportunities for the children. Few indoor activities for the kids. Video room without a concept. The children can see great fish but learn little actively. I miss the concept and therefore an approach that needs to be reconsidered. The outcome is also extremely difficult for the parents. Just like in the supermarket, the children are triggered to ask their parents whether they can buy it.

    A fun little aquarium right on the coast of Bergen-aan-Zee. A great getaway on a rainy day. There is a large variety of underwater creatures and there are even two cute seals swimming around. There is a nice touchpool for kids and there's also a Variety of bugs, spiders and reptiles to admire. It's a bit on the small side and the parking takes a bit of time, but in the end it's still a fun way to spend an hour or two.

    One would be forgiven for mistaking this ichthyological odyssey for a sequel to The Shape of Water. With each flick of her ball gown train, these fish mesmerize. Swirls of sequin and silk hypnotize the casual observer. Sartorial delights aside, the composition of cinematic sweeps across a veritable estuary leaves one yearning for a life before land. The salt in our blood dances with these aquatic vertebrates.

    Very small. There are also no rules regarding covid. The few Fishes that were there were quite nice. I would definitely not recommend it. We paid over 30€ for 2 Adults and 1 Child. For that it was a way to small Aquarium.

    Very expensive for the small aquarium with less aquariums than expected. Most of them are quite smal and the fises can't really move around. The parking for the aquarium is more expensive than the public parking beside. You will also only see a few variety of other animals such as spiders, snakes, frogs, chameleons and more. And do not miss the seals outside. One of them was really playing with the public. Also do not hesitate to pet the few rays in the open bqssin, it is worth it! Sad note: Some of the glasses were not clean making it hard to see the animals behind which was disappointing.

    Park inside of barrier take your ticket in for discount, then put the ticket in machine to pay to exit. Lockers available inside once paid entry €0.50. Toilets and baby change. Alot of amazing fish 🐟 really well done, alot of different species in a compact size aquarium, go round again and see something you missed the first time, sharks sting rays piranhas and the seahorse were very cool. Toilets clean. Definitely worth a visit. We were here for 1hr with 3 kids.

    Zee aquarium Bergen aan zee is an awesome place to go with your kids. The nicest thing is the open tank they have where you can pet the stingrays! I never thought one could pet a fish, and they actually seems to like the attention :) The price is bit expensive for the size of the place, I think €10 per adult would be a fair amount.

    Well maintained, small spaces for the animals, informative.

  • 4/5 Dik W. 2 weeks ago on Google • 206 reviews New
    Beautiful fish. It's not big. A corridor of approximately 60 meters in a U-shape. We do find the entrance fee relatively expensive. €15.95 P.P. You can enjoy yourself here for about 1.5 hours, after which you have seen and read everything.

  • 5/5 PzzaLegend 2 months ago on Google • 197 reviews New

  • 4/5 Jürgen H. 7 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    Very nice little aquarium where you can see many different species of fish and other animals. There is a small tank with rays, flatfish and small shark-like fish that you can even pet on the back. Very nice for children. In the entrance area there is a small shop with various souvenirs, souvenirs, stuffed animals and books. We had a very nice time here. Can be recommended.

    Very expensive

  • 4/5 Dancingrain 1 year ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Sea aquarium with a unappealing aesthetic. A bit outdated. The "cinema" really takes away the vibe of a nice aquarium. Nobody cares about seeing some outdated movie in a cheap chair while they can enjoy documentaries on demand at home. The water however was clean and the animals well kept. some animals unique and not to be found in other aquariums. (Get ready to be amazed!) Really surprised with the sight of two "big sea animals" outside as well (not going to give any details just go and see) Cute little gift shop. Nice place to go for max a hour before or after visiting the sea or restaurant. I hope they refurbish the place so it can withstand the tooth of time.

  • 4/5 Janka T. 5 years ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Nice relax place to go. It is for one hour or little bit longer to stay. After visiting aquarium is beach near by. Just join what you see 😉

  • 3/5 R. W. 6 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    The Sea Aquarium in Bergen an Zee is a nice destination on rainy days, but it is nothing more than a tourist magnet! Some of the aquariums are too small for the fish or fish that live in them. Hygiene was also sometimes critically questioned. The diversity also extends to non-native fish species, so that this aquarium is purely for display and has no further educational value.

  • 5/5 Tom S. 6 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    This is such a nice aquarium! They have quite a big collection of fish there and also a pool, where you can touch rays!

  • 4/5 Shirley de H. 2 weeks ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    Nice small-scale museum, easy to combine with a visit to the beach.

  • 5/5 Eugen Z. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Sensational! Fascinating and wonderful species of fish! A highlight was definitely the pool with the rays that you can touch - that was unique. The aquarium area is not too small either. How some can be through in 15 minutes does not go into my head. You can easily spend 1 to 1.5 hours in it! A compliment to the whole team! (Original) Sensationell! Faszinierende und wundervolle Fischarten! Ein Highlight war mit Sicherheit das Becken mit den Rochen, die man berühren darf - das war einmalig. Das Aquariumgelände ist auch nicht zu klein. Wie einige in 15 Minuten durch sein können, geht mir nicht in den Kopf. Man kann locker 1 bis 1,5 Stunden drin verbringen! Ein Lob an das ganze Team!

  • 5/5 Marianne V. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to go with kids. We took our niece (5) and nephew (3) and the loved it. Some of the aquariums are a bit too high for small kids, but there is a little ledge they can stand on. There are a couple of seals, lots of fish, some shellfish and shells.

  • 4/5 Bilal K. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a small aquarium. That said I don't have all that much experience with aquariums. Small chairs are present for kids to grab and sit in front of the larger tanks or climb on to look at the rays in the open pool which is a nice touch. The kids (2 years old) enjoyed it but what you see with relation to what you pay leaves somewhat to be desired. A nice experience nonetheless. Edit: thanks for replying. Of course we understand! Have a lovely weekend!

    It is not the biggest Sea Aquarium you ever saw but it is nicely arranged, informative and a nice stopover with small children. Only most of the small basins in the back were to high for children, so papa had to raise the little one all the time.

  • 2/5 Angelique R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Enthusiastic and helpful employees. I understand that all maintenance costs a lot of money, but the entrance fee is too high for what you get: 60 euros for half an hour. Because of the 1.5 meter distance you cannot walk back and you are through it so quickly because you have to keep your distance. (Original) Enthousiaste en behulpzame medewerkers. Ik snap dat al het onderhoud veel geld kost maar de entree is te hoog voor wat je krijgt : 60 euro voor een half uur . Door de 1.5 meter afstand kan je niet teruglopen en ben je er zo snel doorheen omdat je afstand moet bewaren.

  • 1/5 Sabine R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You're so tired of it, I was through it within 45 minutes. A waste of my money. Had to do something else after this, and therefore had to spend extra money to make something nice of the day. (Original) Je bent er zo uitgekeken, binnen 3 kwartier was ik erdoorheen.

  • 2/5 Ashley O. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super nice that this is there, only I think € 15 pp is very expensive for something where you are ready within 5/10 minutes. At first I thought I couldn't find my way. But it turned out to be really that small. Maybe also an idea to do something about the floor. Bacon smooth. It is also of no use for the children, since 70% of the windows are at a height of 1 meter 50. Furthermore, the lady at the desk was very customer-friendly. (Original) Super leuk dat dit er is, alleen vind ik €15 pp erg duur voor iets waar je binnen 5/10 minuten alweer klaar bent. Ik dacht eerst dat ik de weg niet kon vinden. Maar het bleek dus echt zo klein te zijn. Misschien ook een idee om wat aan de vloer te doen. Spek glad. Voor de kinderen is er ook niks aan, aangezien 70% van de ramen op 1 meter 50 hoogte zitten. Verder was de mevrouw bij de balie wel heel klantvriendelijk.

    (Translated by Google) Lots of fish, nice reptiles and seals too. There are also rays and sharks that you can pet. There are fresh and saltwater fish. there are many shells and other things you can view. The building is small and there is no catering (there is a coffee / soft drink machine) so bring your own snacks. But it has been a nice hour anyway. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Original) Veel vissen, ook leuke reptielen en zeehonden. Er zijn ook roggen en haaien die je kunt aaien. Er zijn zoet en zoutwater vissen. er zijn veel schelpen en andere dingen die je kunt bekijken. Het gebouw is wel klein en er is geen horeca (wel een koffie/frisdrank automaat) dus neem je eigen snacks mee. Maar het is toch een leuk uurtje geweest. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    (Translated by Google) The seals are very pathetic !! Too small a container of water where they can swim in circles. And 2 large moray eels that can barely turn around. A nervous shark, in an aquarium that is too small, swimming back and forth with a broken nose. This really is not possible. (Original) De zeehondjes zijn erg zielig!! Een te kleine bak water waar ze rondjes kunnen zwemmen. En 2 grote murene alen die zich amper kunnen omkeren. Een nerveuze haai, in een te klein aquarium, die heen en weer zwemt met een kapotte neus. Dit kan echt niet.

    (Translated by Google) Small but nice. The aquarium makes a very well-kept impression. However, if you are not very interested in fish and aquariums, you will have seen the whole aquarium in a very short time and will probably see too little. Personally, however, I could stand in front of the aquariums for hours. I especially like the panther fish. (Original) Klein aber fein. Das Aquarium macht einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck. Wer sich jedoch nicht sehr an Fischen und Aquarien interessiert wird das ganze Aquarium in sehr kurzer Zeit gesehen haben und wird wohl eher zu wenig sehen. Ich persönlich könnte jedoch Stunden vor den Aquarien stehen. Besonders der Pantherfisch hat es mir sehr angetan.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice aquarium. It's not huge, but the care and attention to the aquariums and surrounding space more than makes up for it. You will find a large number of animals that I think are very old and therefore do not come across in everyday aquariums. Very special! (Original) Heel mooi aquarium. Het is niet groot, maar de zorg en aandacht voor de aquaria en de omliggende ruimte maakt dat meer dan goed.

    Adding text after Sea Aquarium Review: It is a really nice place to enjoy sea life. We found it a nice break and even though our kid is less than year old. IT was fun to walk around aquariums and look into beautiful creatures sea has.

  • 4/5 Erik Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to go if the weather doesn't allow cycling, going to the beach or you have half a day to educate yourself. Probably a 60 to 90 minutes dive into the Sea and educate both the littles and the grown ups. Can't compare to Lisbon or Atlanta aquariums. Way smaller but still a very good place to go and discover underwater life and species including a handful of interesting life forms that are bound to land.

  • 3/5 Erik van der N. 3 years ago on Google
    It is indeed a nice place, but... I find it way overpriced for what is offered or the amount of time you spend there. I understand costs are high, but paying 35 euro's (1 grown up and two kids) for about an hour's worth of visit is too much.

    (Translated by Google) Price-performance ratio not really given, the price was too high for walking through the aquarium within 10 minutes. There are also not really unusual animals and touching fish and rays in the grasping basin is questionable under animal welfare reasons. You'd rather pay the same money for admission to the zoo. (Original) Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht wirklich gegeben, viel zu hoher Preis dafür dass man innerhalb 10 Minuten durch das Aquarium durchgelaufen ist. Auch sind nicht wirklich außergewöhnliche Tiere vorhanden und das Anfassen von Fischen und Rochen im Greifbecken ist unter Tierschutzgründen fraglich. Da bezahlt man lieber das selbe Geld für einen Zooeintritt.

    The stuff was friendly and the shell exhibition is great! Never seen such a detailed a beautiful collection before. The entrance price would be okay, if the exhibition would concentate more on environment protection and education. I think that the sting ray petting is more an entertainment event than a sign of respect to the nature and wild animals. No one can control if people and small children treat them good. Also a fewof the aquariums and especially the sealaquarium seem to be from another time in the past. Selling dead starfish in the the souvenir shop is also not necessary. So if some things here would improved I would recommend it!

    Good aquarium with a nice layout and selection of creatures. Tickets are €14.75 per adult.

    It is small and the collection is a bit average. But good for the little town. My kid enjoyed it and also sat down for the cinema show. The employees are generally smiling and active.

    It's a nice place but for €14.00 i'd expect a bigger place or at least a lot more information /educational plaques. Probably more suited to children than adults in my opinion.

    Cool. Worth the trip up from Haarlem but only because my son is obsessed with fish. Nice beach right outside. The seals seem unhappy though.

    Small in size but we'll kept. The main attraction must be the pool where you can pet stingrays and sharks

    Our visit lasted about one hour and we are really slow when visiting zoos, museums or aquariums. For this one hour the price was quite high. The seals outside have very little space and most of the descriptions of the fishes were extremely short and not informative at all.

    This place is fantastic. Clean and modern, friendly staff and wonderful selection of fish and sea creatures plus reptiles. Aquariums are so beautiful different settings for every type of fish. Petting area was fantastic and children loved it all. We were there 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed ourseles. Better gift shop than most attractions. We all enjoyed the 1€ lucky dip, what a great idea. Perfect afternoon out. Thank you.

    Great aquarium. It is not super huge, but enough to see that is worthwhile and even in holiday time not too busy.. Nice that we could even touch some fish and see even a nice big spider and snake.

    Was extremely small. In and out really quick. Nothing interactive for the kids. 100% not worth the money

🫤 Unfortunately only open twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Sunday. Thank you for your reply. We would have liked to have looked at the museum, but unfortunately we are leaving again on September 4th. We feel that opening twice a month is not enough, although there would be the possibility of visit...

👍 Onderweg naar zee de stilte gehoord, in de boomgaard een appel geproefd, de kapel gezien met de grafstenen van de eerste Floris in het groen, de verhalen van vroeger, en de geur van de kaarsenwerkplaats, het klokgelui. Hoeveel voetstappen liggen er al op de paden hier?
