This academy probably saved the sea aquarium.
It's a great success. The other part of the sea aquarium could use some attention too.

We went to the aquarium because we had booked to swim with dolphins, and to be honest if we were paying to only see the aquarium we would have been gutted ! it is very small and the tanks need upgrading. There's a poor shark stuck in the smallest tank ever and we felt very sorry for it. However from...

Nice afternoon out if you have the kids. Find out the scheduled feedings and shows before you go so you don't miss what you really want to see. Take all photos of the dolphins yourself. If you pay for that upclose shot, the guys don't even wait till you're settled to take the photo and your US$20 is gone.

This is a must place if you have youngter with you. Dolphin snorkling and encounter are great. They are expensive but a worth to your money. Book the activity in advance.
Ethical questions may raised (keeping dolphins in aquarium), but when seeing the dolphins, they were more happy than a majority of the domestic dogs.
The staff was great and...

LOVED this!! We did the dolphin swim and got to 'play games' with the trainers and dolphins in the water as well as swim with them. They offer difference experiences as well.

Swimming with the Dolphins in Curacao was a very nice experience and it was all very well organized. Only downside are the prices they charge for the pictures...VERY EXPENSIVE. It might be great quality but its not necessary to charge so high while you dont have other options as ofcourse you are not allowed to take any pictures yourself. When...

I didn't sign up in time for the swim (which I knew I should've via other tripadvisors) and I wish I did. A couple we met did and I watched them as they swam with the dolphins and I petted the dolphins with the Dolphin encounter. So I've done encounters at other places and this one is probably my least...
