It's a small aquarium and not too spectacular, but it provides a good programme that will keep kids' attention for most of the day.

Swimming with the dolphins was great, but the parc itself was a little disappointed. As in small. Big animals in small tanks..

Excellent shows and education regarding sea creatures and animals. The sea lion was very endearing and the dolphins were a treat to watch.

Very well trained dolphins, the swim with the dolphins was a lot better than one I did in Cuba, much more personal and interactive.
Included is a fun and informative dolphin show.
It's a little expensive and the photos cost a fair bit at the end, but it's part of the tourist experienceresponse / report this review -

The Dolphin Academy is awesome, for kids and grown-ups. Even though it is a confined place for animals, the dolphins look well taken care of. Deserves the visit!

It's very nice place TBH even though they are trying to suck your money in every possible way. Petting dolphins is very nice experience and let me tell you, it's not any worse than "swimming with dolphins", something that costs few extra hundred bucks more.

Love the aquarium! I've been coming back every year when I'm in Curaçao and I've definitely seen the aquarium getting better and better. When you arrive to the aquarium, pick up the sheet that list out all the events that's happening throughout the day. Don't miss the sea lion and dolphin show!

Scuba dived with the dolphins. It was amazing. We had Regina and her daughter and they were both super playful and friendly. Afterwards we watched a dolphin training session and explored the rest of the aquarium. Worth the visit!

Had a blast feeding flamingos, others fed sharks, saw a dolphin show and a sea lion show. You are free to walk around and they announce on the loud speaker when an event or feeding is about to start. Well organized and much more fun than I expected! Cost $21 to enter for the day. $30 for a weekly pass. If I had to do it again I would have bought the weekly so we could go back as much as we wanted.

Awesome animal encounters! We swam with stingrays, fed sea turtles and two types of sharks. And these were not the little things in a touch pool!

I went at 3:30 and got charged half price for two shows. Not sure if some exhibits were closed of if they get closed after a certain time. Shark tank was empty. Enjoyed touch tank and two shows - sea lions and dolphin.
The amount of time I stayed and amount I saw was more than perfect for a 3 y.o. The shows are out in open and can get really hot so prepare for heat and sun.response / report this review -

We found this Sea Aquarium to be very professional and they are taking good care of the mammals living there. The dolphins are free to leave the aquarium if they want to however they see it as there territorial so they are eager to stay. In the last years the swimming with the dolphins has been adjusted and you are now not allowed to tough the head or hang on to the back fins (which we considered to be much friendlier for the dolphins). We had a good time here and learned a lot. Also walking around there to see the aquariums, flamingo's and sea-lions was a big plus.

This was the highlight of our recent vacation for my brother's wedding. I'd swam with dolphins before who seemed like sideshows, not animals. However this experience was completely different. The wonderful trainers definently had the well being of the dolphins in mind first while still providing an excellent experience. You will be deep water with 2 dolphins in a group of 6 (if you buy the swim package) and get a good amount of time swimming, getting tricks and having a great time.
The sea lion show is a must see as well. Same awesome rapport with the animals while being super entertaining. I highly recommend.response / report this review -

An experience my family and I will remember for the rest of our lives! We took two adults and two boys, aged 11 and 10 on the swim with the dolphins experience - it was wonderful. The staff are helpful and friendly and go out of their way to get the most out of the experience for you. We spent thirty minutes in the water, which may not sound like much but was actually plenty - it was just the four of us with two dolphins. Loved the fact that the dolphins are rescued and able to leave if they want. Our dolphin interaction included lots of swimming alongside the dolphins, basically skin to skin, plus the opportunity to do games and tricks with them. A professional photographer takes amazing photos of the whole experience, and while they are expensive ($80 for a USB stick of all the photos) they are worth every penny.
The rest of the aquarium is interesting with a number of marine exhibits, but the dolphin experience is the highlight and your reason to go. Facilities are good with free lockable lockers, showers, change rooms etc.
Highly recommend to cross this one off the bucket list.response / report this review -

We really enjoyed our experience 4 years ago. Yes things are a little older compared to some similar experiences in the USA, but we really enjoyed the ability to get up close and personal with the exhibits. My family took part in the feeding of the sharks and turtles, and I have great video of the extremely loud sucking sound the sharks made as they eat the fist through small holes in a plexiglass underwater wall. We are coming back in March on a cruise, and wanted to know the price for the sea lion adventure up close and personal, but the price isn't on the website, and there isn't an email address for the Park.

Check out the animal adventure, great interactive experience with large stingrays, sharks, turtles, and numerous fish including an enormous grouper. Our guide Luis was great. The crew taking photos from Turtle and Bay were very helpful and took great photos as well!
