Ecomare Reviews

Every time I visit Ecomare I'm having a good time. Their expositions about the sea and local wildlife are educational and fun and the animals they have on display are always nice to see. They have animals who live in the sea surrounding the island, like seals, seebirds and fish. The have species you don't see in other zoo's like Ringed seal and Harbor porpoise (which can be seen under water). During feeding hours the caretakers give information about the animals. A downside is that the exhibits for the seals and porpoise are a little bit small. They also have a rescue center for birds and seal which you can also visit.

Entrance to the park is 13,75 (2020) and in my opinion that is not a lot for what you get!

Very nice place where a lot of rescued animals find a shelter and get cured.
A big thank to all the people who work here and take care of these animals.
I did not like the small aquariums where some fishes are kept.

Very nice and educational place to visit close to a popular beach spot (Post 17). Very friendly staff. Decent food/snacks, definitely didn't come here for the food.

Best wishes for everyone here, including the sweet babies and other recovering animals

Very nice place. There are several seals that are well looked after and aquariums with a variety of fish.

Great aquariums in Texel. Has verities of fishes and marine life that includes seal, dolphins and stingrays etc. There is a certain time schedule for feeding dolphins and seals where they perform some tricks as well. It happens twice a day and if you miss those time then it probably is not worth 13.

I really don't like this place. It was too croweded so o can only see a lot of human head. The shows inside are all in Dutch. So if you don't know Dutch , you may probably feel boring because nothing to see when the explain something. The ticket is also overpriced. Don't know why there are lot of good ratings.

Very interesting experience. Had a good time. There are also places where you can get a beverage and a light meal. There's also a souvenir shop.

Lovely place to visit! There are many wonderful marine animals here, specially the seals and porpoises. The surrounding dune fields are also very nice and if the weather good, one can explore the nice walkway through the dunes.

Nice small sanctuary for seals and birds. Educational and fun at the same time. They have few beautiful aquariums too. Well worth the visit. Can spend anywhere from 1 hour to most of the day if you see and do everything.

Nice place to take kids. Plenty to see and interact with. Information displays are in Dutch, English and German. The seals are very playful and fun to see.
