Het Arsenaal

My 2-year old enjoyed the fish and the pirates, but the rest of the experience was basically exactly what all the other reviews say. The place is outdated, the basins/aquariums a bit dirty. There was almost no staff so the ship simulator just sat there doing nothing. With some renovations/more staff/better aquariums it might be worth the money.

We spent two hours there. At first we were disappointed - the exhibition on the top on pirates is not really interesting for kids nor for adults, somewhat carelessly made (translations have not been proofread by native speakers). The game zone in the middle was fun. The aquarium zone on the bottom level is good for kids but very little info on the animals is provided and some fish are clearly sick (inflamed gills @ the dog sharks in the touch basin f.ex). It was worth the money nonetheless; but two hours were not enough; and we only understood the idea of being on a ship with deck, inside a ship and on the sea floor / climbing the mast 2/3 through the experience. It is kind of sad because they could make so much more out of their aquarium and the pirate exhibition, and could improve the experience with better guidance.

Nice place for the kids

Alright, but a bit overpriced for a family of 5.

I liked the concept. A lot to do in this from the outside "small looking place for this", so don't worry about that. Kids liked it as well.
