Let me start with that I do miss the old facility's charm or call it nostalgia on my part, but the big outdoor pool was my favourite. That said, I do understand the need to upgrade and have a better location. On the educational side I think there is room for improvement, but it is also clear to me that it is still a work in progress, will update over the upcoming visits. The building is nice and the hospital facilities seem great. But most importantly, the seem to be comfortable, for being in the hospital / care that is. It is very possible that I am biased as a sponsor to this place, but the staff was nice and surely it is worth your visit, especially if you go to Schiermonnikoog, since it is right next to the ferry's port. It’s definitely nice to see the and got more information during the feeding time. As a foreigner, some of the interviews are Dutch only. The restaurant menu is also Dutch only. The staff are very helpful. We enjoyed the educational part (interesting plus everything is bright, new and clean) and watching the 25 to 30 pups. The restaurant is good too and has a nice view. We sat outside overlooking the harbor. modern environment - normal ticket prices - perfect for couples and families with small children - not that many programs It's a great insight into the care of the and not just another sealife like tourist attraction. Definitely worth a visit! It's definitely worth it for seal lovers — I could stay here all day! But for those thinking of bringing kids for other kinds of activities, it might not be worth the price, since the entrance fee is quite high. The place is beautiful and has excellent facilities. It is one of the best seal hospitals in the world. The staff is highly qualified and you can see how the are being restrained, fed and other procedures are being carried out, always prioritizing the animal welfare. The visit is well worth it for those who want to learn about seals. Beautiful centre with interesting exhibition on both the history of the Wadden region and the importance of the ecosystem (and particularly the role of seals). Great balance between education, wildlife preservation/healthcare and entertainment. Plus your visit contributes to taking care of the seals! Would recommend! Addition: the restaurant downstairs is a recommendation too, with many gluten free/vegetarian options.
