Sea Life Scheveningen, Public aquarium in Scheveningen district, The Hague, Netherlands
Sea Life Scheveningen is a public aquarium with approximately 45 tanks displaying sharks, rays, turtles, penguins, and tropical fish species. The tanks are designed with specific water conditions and temperatures suited to each animal type.
The facility was established to research and promote marine biology along the Dutch coast. Over time it developed into a key location for conservation efforts and scientific projects in the region.
The facility operates as a hands-on learning space where visitors watch feeding demonstrations and observe marine life behaviors in real-time settings. Such direct contact with ocean animals helps people understand ecosystems in practical ways.
The location sits on Scheveningen beach and is easily accessible by public transport or car from central The Hague. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since walking through multiple sections takes some time.
An underground tunnel lets visitors walk surrounded by swimming animals on all sides. Meanwhile, special breeding programs for jellyfish are maintained that few other places attempt.
