This a privately built aquarium fill with sea creatures native to the area with the exception of a couple of sea lions. The aquarium is well taken care and is... read more pretty innovated in it's approach of it's care of their sea animals. It isn't huge but a good quality of sea life to view. You can feed a variety of the sea animal for a fee or swim and interact with the dolphin and rays for a fee.They have free educational demonstrations and shows. I was very impressed with the people who work and love on these sea creatures. It was very evident that it was to make the islanders and visitors aware of the special type of life that share the sea with us humans. Very dedicated helping rebuilt the coral reefs and keeping their island beautiful for generations to come.

  Of course do not expect thé same experience of a sea aquarium somewhere in Florida.
Neverthless this was above our expectations and worth a visit .
The tour with or... read more without children learns a lot about nature and ecological concerns.
Besides thé aquarium is a beautifull beach with some very nice eating and drinking facilities .

  A great place to be at when you go to Curaçao. You will see exciting animals there and great shows..a must go

  Dolphin show was very good. Dolphin kiss was also very remarkable. Good facilities inside the premises.

  The people at the aquarium are clearly passionate about their job and they love animals. It’s not a place for captive animals but more of a reabilitation.

I loved how the trainers interact with the animals , it’s about mutual respect and care.

  We visited Curacao on a cruise ship and decided to visit the sea aquarium. It was a great choice and we had a super time watching the sea lion show,... read more the dolphin training and show, feeding the big fish and the sharks. The staff were super helpful and a delight to talk to. The aquarium is on the coast and fed by the sea - we even saw a couple of dolphins they took out to the sea (they came back in with them).
We took a taxi from the cruise terminal ($25US) and got the local bus back ($2US!).
This is a small facility but well worth a few hours of your time - there is also the option of a dolphin experience and snorkelling and feeding the fish (at extra cost of course!).
I would recommend this to anyone who visits Curacao.

  Small. Unkept. I was hoping for more but the dolphin pen and shark pens are cruel. This is not about education but exploitation of these magnificent creatures.

  We did a guided tour and the ocean lens. This was a very unique experience. It’s wonderful to see so many different kind of fish nearby. The guided tour was... read more also awesome. It really was a usefull addition to the park. You get places where you otherwise cannot come. Also the guide told so much about the park and it’s mission.

The tour demonstrates the importance of education to save the beauty of nature ...and by the the way it is really interesting (out of a general unskilled point of view)

We see the importance of taking a tour to understand the institution and that it is not (just) about earning money. We are sure that every support of this institution will also be a benefit for the people of curacao and it’s nature.

On this way it is a very good example for sustainability, because it grounds on its three pillars: economical, biological and social effort.

You are doing a great job - Thank You!

  We recently visited the Curacao Sea Aquarium in Willemstad, Curacao while on a cruise. It was wonderful. The care of the animals is exceptional. They are all healthy and well-loved.... read more We saw sea lions, dolphin, many aquariums stocked with all types of fish, turtles, flamingoes, and sharks. They offered shows on the different animals which educated us on their habitats and lives. Each show lasted about 30 - 45 minutes, and they don't overlap. One of the highlights was the Sea Lion Encounter show, which was very intimate with only 8 of us from the ship. Pictures attached. I highly recommend it for all ages.
