Extra information about the presentations

Behind-the-scenes tour (€5 p.p.): during the tour you will be taken through the intake, the different stages of rehabilitation, fish kitchen and surgery. The tour is €5 per person and the group size is max 20 people.

Tickets can be bought until 8am on the same day via our website or at the counter when there are still tickets available.

Dizkoffer: during the Dizkoffer show, a staff member tells all about seals using 'the Dizkoffer'. This is a suitcase filled with a skull, whiskers and even a piece of seal fur. Everything can be touched! This is how you discover what a seal's fur actually feels like.

Seal guard presentation: a seal is not just taken to the Sealcentre. First, it has to be observed by a seal guard. During this interactive presentation, children learn what is involved before a seal is taken to the rescue centre in Pieterburen.
