Audio Guide of Scheveningen Aquarium

The aquarium usually opens every day at 10:00 and closes between 17:00 and 18:00 depending on the season. It is located on the beach boulevard and is easily accessible from The Hague by taking tram 1 or 9 to the Kurhaus stop.

Entry is not free; tickets at the door are around €23.50, but it is considerably cheaper if you book in advance on the official website. Children under 3 usually enter free of charge.

A full visit usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This is enough time to stroll through the underwater tunnel, explore the different themed areas, and enjoy an educational demonstration.

This center is important for its conservation and rescue program for local marine life. Its impressive ocean tunnel is a highlight, where you can see sharks and rays swimming above your head, along with its area dedicated to sea turtles.

I recommend going first thing in the morning (10:00) or after 15:00 for a quieter experience. Weekdays outside school holidays are ideal for seeing the exhibits without rushing.

Yes, SEA LIFE Scheveningen is adapted for visitors with reduced mobility and strollers. There are elevators and ramps that provide access to most exhibits and the main tunnel.

Right next door you will find the LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre and the famous De Pier with its giant Ferris wheel. You are also just steps from Scheveningen’s vast beach and the historic Kurhaus hotel.

Check the otter and penguin feeding times when you arrive, as they are great fun to watch. Also, if you are traveling with family, look for combined tickets with LEGOLAND to save on both admissions.
