It's a really nice place to see the aquarium and dolphin show. We didn't do the dolphin swims, submarine, or deep ocean lens, but it was still totally worth it. Check their website for the daily schedule. There's plenty to see with just your basic entry ticket.

The Curacao Sea Aquarium was a great experience. The Dolphin show was really good and having the opportunity to feed Pink Flamingos was really great! Well worth the $20 admission.

Precious creatures, great crew, loved
The staff gave great directions to keep both our family and the dolphins safe and able to engage well with each other. It was a surreal experience for us. Sunscreen was a must for us. Sunglasses were allowed, no hats.

Dolphin Encounter Perfect for Kids!
Our children had such an incredible hands on experience with the dolphins! My girls are 4 and 6 yrs old and the dolphin encounter was the exact level of interaction that they wanted. We first attended the dolphin show/demonstration at 10:30am, did the experience at 11:00am stayed for 1 hour to explore the aquarium (highly recommend) and then lunch at their cafe. The pictures they took were beautiful, so we purchased those too. Thanks for such a wonderful day!
We booked directly through the dolphin academy, we did not book through our cruise. When we hopped off our cruise, we took a taxi to Mambo Beach. The aquarium was a 10 minute (shaded) walk from where they dropped us. If you are wanting to go to the beach afterwards, reserve a chair and umbrella while you're walking to the aquarium. They will be completely full when you are done with lunch around 1pm.
