“Great place to learn about the local marine life. There was a presentation at 3:30pm with feeding. So much fun!”

“It's an incredible place! It's a paradise for biologists and marine life enthusiasts. There is lots of historical information about animal strandings, as well as many skeletons and curiosities. There is also plenty of information about evolution. And you can also observe the animals under the team's care.”

“I went to that seal rescue center on Texel Island. The location is beautiful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. While the entry price was a bit high, I didn’t mind as I know the money goes toward feeding the animals and maintaining the protection area. Some parts were still under construction, but I enjoyed learning about sea animals’ life and exploring the aquarium.”

“Ecomare was absolutely wonderful! Would highly, highly recommend a visit. This sanctuary helps rehabilitate injured and ill seals including sending sick babies back to the wild when they are better and permanently housing blind adults. Make sure to watch a seal feeding and spend some time exploring the museum, small aquarium, and outdoor areas. We took a train and ferry from Amsterdam to visit Texel and would do it again even if just to visit Ecomare!”

“Some important notes for non Dutch visitors: 1) The Seal show is completely in Dutch for 20 mins. Hardly 5 minutes of action, rest is just talk. It might be fun and informative, but being non-Dutch it was BIG disappointment and boring for me as I was clueless. 2) Don't keep expectations high. It's an informative, General sea and sea life knowledge campus with some aquariums with small fishes and seals. Overall , I understand the money is being used for care of in need species but not worth the experience (for adults). So the ticket price is basically just donation for sea life preservation. A minor change by making the seal show in English will make a big difference.”
