As one of the most esteemed destinations in the Caribbean, the facility provides an extraordinary opportunity to connect with marine life in ways that are both educational and exhilarating. Visitors of all ages are invited to immerse themselves in interactive experiences that highlight the beauty and diversity of the ocean.

A Unique Marine Adventure

What sets this marine attraction apart is its commitment to providing a truly hands-on experience.

Whether it’s feeding a sea turtle, swimming with dolphins, or getting up close with stingrays, the interactive encounters are designed to create lasting memories. Each activity is carefully crafted to be both safe and respectful to the animals, ensuring a positive experience for both the visitors and the marine life.

Exceptional Educational Experiences

Education is at the heart of the facility’s mission. Visitors not only get to enjoy close encounters with marine animals but also learn about the importance of ocean conservation. Through guided tours and informative exhibits, guests gain a deeper understanding of the delicate ecosystems that make up our oceans. The knowledgeable staff is passionate about sharing their expertise, making the experience both informative and inspiring. This blend of entertainment and education makes it an ideal destination for families, school groups, and anyone interested in marine biology.

Immersive Animal Encounters

One of the main attractions is the variety of animal encounters available. These experiences are designed to be immersive, allowing guests to connect with marine life in a meaningful way.

Dolphin Encounters

The dolphin encounters are a highlight for many visitors. Guests can swim alongside these intelligent creatures, experiencing their playful nature firsthand. The program is designed to be safe and enjoyable for all ages, making it a perfect activity for families. The trainers guide participants through the experience, ensuring that both the dolphins and visitors are comfortable and engaged.

Sea Lion Shows

Another popular attraction is the sea lion shows, where these charismatic animals perform a variety of tricks and stunts. The shows are not only entertaining but also educational, as the trainers explain the behaviors and characteristics of the sea lions throughout the performance. It’s an experience that delights both children and adults, offering a deeper appreciation for these fascinating creatures.

Shark and Stingray Encounters

For those seeking a bit more excitement, the shark and stingray encounters provide a thrilling opportunity to get up close with these majestic creatures. Under the guidance of experienced staff, visitors can safely interact with stingrays and observe sharks in their natural habitat. These encounters are designed to be both exhilarating and educational, offering a unique perspective on some of the ocean’s most intriguing inhabitants.

An Unforgettable Island Experience

In addition to the animal encounters, the facility offers a variety of other attractions and activities that cater to all interests. From snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to exploring the vibrant coral reefs, there’s something for everyone. The beautiful surroundings of the island only enhance the experience, providing a stunning backdrop for a day of adventure and discovery.

Curaçao Sea Aquarium
Based on 4372 reviews
We had a great day visiting the aquarium! The open water concept is so cool. Lots of marine life to see. We enjoyed the underwater viewing in the boat as well as the dolphin training & visiting with the flamingos. A lovely place to visit!
The aquarium is quite small, and it’s sad to see many of the animals live in small, dirty tanks. The giant grouper and green moray can barely move around. I was shocked to see that there are touch tanks with no employee supervision. However, I will say the underwater boat observatory is interesting and nice for kids, and the dolphin show is great. We were there at the end of the day, and it wasn’t crowded at all.
Small Aquarium with a lot of activities for kids. Feed the stingrays and flamingos along with plenty of touch tanks. Dolphin area is fantastic. (And making bigger). Walk through yourself tour with information in English and Dutch. Take a taxi or use tour to get there. Difficult to get to otherwise.
Amazing experience at the Animal Encounter! Zeric, Alexandra and Tia were super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We paid ($50) extra for Tia to follow our group around and take photos, so we didn't have to try to take photos and could just enjoy ourselves. Tia took lots of great photos and videos of us feeding the sharks, visiting the giant turtle and playing with the stingray. Also cool is that if some of your group doesn't do the encounter, they can watch you from the boat, even underwater! You can dive down and wave! 10/10, recommend!
Check the website first for the schedule they have for the day. So you can go and feed the fishes, sharks, flamingos etc. other than that it’s not really interesting. The dolphins are the main attraction the show is really cute. The ocean lens is cool tho.
Nice aquarium, lots of variety. Not too big, not too small, perfect for a few hours. A nice touch was the half-submarine like boat which allows you to see fish underwater. Also recommend swimming with dolphins over here.
Great half day aquarium with children! We did the dolphin interaction and it was fabulous. In addition there were many hands on activities such as animal feedings, glass bottom boats and unique sea life. There are two stores, a cafe and space to take a shower post dolphin swim. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to spend 3-4 hours in a unique way!
Loved the setting, right on the Caribbean Sea. Friendly, helpful staff. Liked how long they let each person interact with the wildlife, feeding the flamingos, or touching the stingrays. Great dolphin show. Not a very big place, but lots to do! Definitely got our money’s worth! Would return.
Had a wonderful time. Definitely do the sea lens with that private behind the scenes tour. You’ll get to see all the educational programs they’re a part of and meet the animals behind the scenes.

They have everything from dolphins to sea turtles, flamingos, urchins, conch, sharks, and more. The Italian sandwich was really tasty too. Definitely get one. And was the cheapest meal we had on the trip.
