    The Dolfinarium Harderwijk is a marine mammal park located in Harderwijk, the Netherlands. Visitors can expect to see various marine animals, with a focus on dolphins. The park offers shows featuring dolphins, sea lions, and walruses, which many find entertaining. The facility provides opportunities to learn about marine life and conservation efforts.

    However, opinions on the Dolfinarium are mixed. While some visitors enjoy the shows and interactions with marine animals, others express concerns about the ethics of keeping these creatures in captivity. The park has faced criticism regarding animal welfare and the size of the enclosures.

    On the positive side, many visitors appreciate the educational aspects of the park and the chance to see marine animals up close. The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable. Some visitors find the dolphin shows impressive and enjoyable.

    On the negative side, some visitors feel that the park is outdated and in need of renovations. The entrance fee is considered high by some, especially given the relatively small size of the park. There have been complaints about long waiting times for shows during peak seasons.

    It's worth noting that the Dolfinarium has made efforts to improve animal welfare and education programs in recent years, but opinions remain divided on whether these changes are sufficient.

    Overall, the Dolfinarium Harderwijk offers a chance to see and learn about marine animals, but potential visitors should be aware of the ongoing debate surrounding marine mammals in captivity.

    Pure dierenmishandeling. Dit kan echt niet meer in deze tijd.

    Dit park is zwaar verouderd. Daarnaast zitten de dieren in veel te kleine hokken. Geen uitzonderingen daar gelaten. Kies alstublieft voor een andere dierentuin, waar er tenminste aandacht besteed wordt aan de leefomgeving en wensen van de dieren. Er zijn genoeg andere dierentuinen waar ook dolfijnenshows zijn.

    Een dierentuin moet een thuishaven zijn voor dieren, geen gevangenis!

    Het Dolfinarium is een prima dagje uit. Samen met kinderen is er genoeg te doen. Jammer dat de tickets wat aan de prijzige kant zijn.
