    A very nice place to visit. You may see many fishes and other sea animals. I even could caress a shark. Nice. And the animals are kept good and correct, they have even a seal clinic and an elevation of hyppocampuses.
    Great place to spend an afternoon. (Even if it cannot be compared with the two oceans center in Cape Town...)

    A place somewhat creepy, but very interesting is the Reptilian House. They have a huge collection of living snakes and spiders,
    I'm not sure, I dislike the idea of putting an animal in a cage, but it is really interesting to see...

    In addition to the many "closed" aquariums, there is also a wonderful "touch tank", a place where you can literately touch some species of fish like the ray
    Furthermore you will find scientific displays, a few outdoor play areas for children, a cafeteria.
    (BTW the only warm food is a super large hot dog with ketchup, cost € 3 - haha)
    During feeding time of the animals (Otters, seals, sea lions and pinguins you will get some animated explanation and questions like :
    - How to recognize a male/female crab ?
    - The difference between a seal and a seal lion ?

    The Eurasian Otter is the only species found in Europe and its population is very depleted. In some western countries it has become extinct.
    Classic question : a seal, is it living at the north- or southpole. Yes you are partially right - the southpole - but in fact you will find seals at the southern atmosphere. I saw some species in South Africa, some in Argentina and of course the Galagapos. For this reason, don't be surprised to find seals in an area where palmtrees are growing aswell.

    Sea Life Marine Park ... more than jellyfishes

    The fauna and flora of the Northsea is more than the existance of jellyfishes
    Get acquainted with the sea lions stealing the show and the heart of every visitor, and this at the outside bath. At the innerside, walk through a tunnel (10m) and get fascinated by sea life above, under and beside your head. You will have a look at sharks, sting-rays and turtles.
    Next to the centre, same entrance, there is a minigolf field - with 18 holes - in a scénary of pirates and Captain Hook (extra fee - €3)

    Blankenburg is the most popular seaside resort on the Flemish coast. The beach can be reached very easily from the city centre after a short walk of 10 minutes through the main pedestrian shopping street of the city. The beach is about 3.3 Km long and 350 m wide at ebb tide. Looking east is the Sea Life Centre which houses several large tanks containing marine life, visitors are also able to walk through a glass tunnel below a large tank containing sharks.

    Seahorse breeding
    by Luchonda, 2 more photos
    Aquariums have come a long way since the first SEA LIFE centre opened its doors on the banks of picturesque Loch Creran in the West Highlands of Scotland in 1979.
    The Sea Life Centre in Blankenberge was founded in 1998 and it's main goal is to save sick seals stranded on the belgian coast. Last year 230 seals were saved. The cost for surgery per animal is € 2500 and in this sense an entrance price of € 15.50 is acceptable, having in mind that you help the Centre and the seals.
    But keep in mind that the station is in first place a clinique and research centre (seahorse breeding) and not an amusement park. Although visiting this station with children is having a good time

    On the Western side of the beach is the yacht-harbour. This large basin used to be the fisher harbor of Blankenberge. But this changed last century - after the last worldwar it became a yacht-harbour for middle sized boats. ( text from the tourist info brochure )

    In summertime, there are always some artist building sand-sculptures. This is an event not to miss. Really great works. In 2004 the motto was "Italy". See my travelogue for more pics please.
