Dolfinarium Harderwijk, Marine mammal park in Harderwijk, Netherlands.

The Dolfinarium includes specialized areas for harbor porpoises, walruses, seals, sea lions, rays, sharks, and a main performance space for bottlenose dolphins.

Established in 1965 by Frits den Herder, the park began as a personal collection of marine mammals before evolving into the first public dolphinarium in Netherlands.

The facility contributes to marine education through eight daily presentations that demonstrate natural behaviors and biological characteristics of various aquatic species.

The park features multiple restaurants, beach areas, water playgrounds, and maintains complete accessibility for visitors using wheelchairs throughout all presentation zones.

Through SOS Dolfijn foundation, the facility operates a rescue center for stranded marine mammals, providing rehabilitation services with the goal of returning animals to sea.
