I'm really excited. If you take your time to look at each part quietly, you will see something moving everywhere in each aquarium, but really take your time. I've been to Barcelona and Scheveningen was really 10 times more fun! Lots of love from the employees for the animals.

Informative memories of one of the darkest stories of our time! It makes incredibly sad and thoughtful to walk through this place! A must when visiting The Hague.

Nice tour where you can set the pace and route yourself thanks to the audio guide. Interesting and structured. Staff are very friendly and helpful
