Very nice
An unforgettable day A visit to the Dolfinarium is an unforgettable day out for the whole family. Because how often do you get the chance to meet dolphins, take a close look at sea lions and touch sharks? Use all of your senses You can easily spend an entire day at Europe's largest marine mammal park. Take a stroll from the Dolfijnendelta (Dolphin Delta) – where newborn dolphins swim – to the Zeehondenzand (Seal Sand) where common seals live together with grey seals. Listen to the rowdy sea lions and see with your own eyes how enormous walruses are. At the Roggenrif (Ray Reef) you get to meet some smaller inhabitants of the North Sea. Sea bass, rainbow trout and anemones, for example. You can observe them closely and learn all about these interesting creatures. You can even touch the sharks and the rays. Eye to eye Of course you get to take a close look at our marine mammals. There are eleven unique shows in which the dolphins, sea lions and walruses show you their best moves. Be amazed and moved by their extraordinary appearance! Animal welfare first The Dolfinarium has been around for nearly fifty years. Over the years we have done a lot of research and made a significant contribution to the protection of the animals in the wild. Animal welfare has always been and will always be our top priority in our research. We take care of our marine animals with a lot of love, passion and respect. And it shows: the animals in Harderwijk grow (a lot) older than their congeners in the wild and every year many babies are born in our park. As the main sponsor of Stichting SOS Dolfijn we are proud that we are able to help increase the well-being of the animals.

A bit worn down
The after storm Eunice probably was not a good time to visit this attraction. But hey, what the heck. I have never been here before and there certainly were some interesting exhibitions. But the total impression, was that this park was a bit worn down and in need of a serious facelift. The underwater walkway were you could see the dolphins and walruses was cool though, our little one loved it!

super day out but expensive
Went with our four children aged 6 to 14 and they all really enjoyed the day. There were three main shows - including the Dolfin and Walrus shows and lots of other demonstrations. The park also has several play areas. Its not the largest of venues and there is no english spoken during the shows and demonstrations and is quite expensive. We spent a half day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
