The main attraction is the big fish tank with the moon fish. The seals are nice and well-fed. Everything else is rather grey. I definitely saw more interesting aquaria. Too pricy for what you get.

A fine and informative location with a live feeding. Friendly staff. Signage/ directions could be better, but all in all a very worthy location to discover!
Very crowded today. Handsanitizer was present, but no staff guided people around, and multiple place more people were gathered than the allowed amount! This is a great place for families with young children, with some playgrounds and kid friendly areas, multiple places to eat your own lunch pack or you can eat in the restaurant. There is not much to do for the older kids, if you are not super into fish and marine life.
I love aquariums. The sea life is always amazing to see. But, while the North Sea Oceanarium sea life is quiet spectacular, the overall experience isn't. There are really only seven aquariums, and one of the main attractions is to come see the fish and seals getting fed. The downside is the Ocean View aquarium - where there are loads of spaces to sit as long as you show up min 15 minutes before - but there are loads of parents and their kids who sit in front of the aquarium spoiling the view. There is a diver who goes in aquarium and speaks to the audience, but with all the parents and kids in front you don't see a lot. Also when the diver goes to the bottom of the aquarium, the only way to view anything is two smaller screens on either side of the aquarium. The same happened again with the seal feeding, where there are loads of seating places, but again parents and kids stand in front and block off the view. If you go to the top of the seating area you cannot see a lot. Best spot to view the seal feeding is the seating area from the observation deck just outside the restaurant. While it's quite pricey, it is worth going but get there in time to get the good spots. Staff should also really tell people to get out of the way and also get some bigger screens to view the diver.
I expected little more for that price, to see more kinds of fish and animals. I believe it's a nice place for families with kids because of lot of interactive games and information and both outside and inside playgrounds. The restaurant was pretty ok, they managed to serve the meals very fast even with overcrowded restaurant. Overall I hoped for a bigger place with more colours, I loved the jellyfish thought. If you are going to visit I wish you a nice day and enjoy the place as it is.
A great place for the whole family. Lots of impressive aquariums, filled with exciting species from the northern seas. The centerpiece is a huge aquarium, where it's possible to see divers feed the fish every day. You'll also find interactive experiences all around the place, a great idea for all ages.
a wonderful place to see and experience Sea-Life. The Feeding of the Seals is the Highlight-Event
Great place to go with your kids, if they like fish. There are a lot of things to see both from above the water, and from below.
