Animal Encounter Curacao

Curacao Sea Aquarium

See and feed sharks, turtles, stingrays and many more fish in their underwater environment.
The Curacao Sea Aquarium belongs to one of the most unique aquaria in the world; an open-water system continuously pumps fresh seawater through all the aquaria. This, together with sunlight, creates the natural circumstances needed to replicate the underwater world. Nothing in the displays is artificial! The same conditions apply to the lagoons in which the dolphins, sea lions, sharks, rays and turtles are kept. The Aquarium is the best place to see the beautiful underwater creatures of the Caribbean, to be dazzled by the educational and entertaining shows and even enjoy an own personal animal encounter. A day of family fun! All of our shows and presentations are given in English but we provide some presentations in Dutch and Spanish as well. We also offer local rates to residents of Curacao (people need to show their sedula for discount) and discount rates for local school groups.

Note:Although our aquarium is open until 17.00 each day, our cash desk closes at 16.15.

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.
