Acuario Oceanworld de Dingle

Experiencia positiva: There's a good variety of fish and other creatures here. The Otters weren't expected for me, but nonetheless were a welcome site. Make sure you check the schedule online before you go to see what time certain events start. I went earlier in the day and then found out an event I'd want to see would start in an hour. Plan accordingly around the shows if you want to see them. Some hallways are a bit narrow which can make it a bit difficult to view all the different tanks, especially if there are children around. Overall it's not the biggest aquarium in the world, but it's an aquarium. If you like fish you'll be happy.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice place

Experiencia fantástica: Great spot with a wide variety of sea animals

Experiencia fantástica: Great little aquarium, our 10yr old loved it!

Experiencia fantástica: Its a yes!!!! Kids,no kids... worth a visit

Experiencia fantástica: We had a such a nice time for my nephews birthday. Massive compliments to all the staff, especially Sadhbh for her great talk on the sharks and for answering all our questions on the starfish and turtle conservation. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Molly the sea turtle is truly magnificent. Id take her home in a heart beat. She took my breath away. You should fo just to see Molly x

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best things to do in Dingle with family.... Highly recommended

Experiencia fantástica: Fascinating place. Nice people & amazing displays.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely time seeing all the fish but the highlight was definitely the penguins and otters being fed! Definitely recommend!

Experiencia positiva: Been a few times, kids love it but it's expensive for how small it is. We paid €68 for 2 adults, 2 kids and a 1 year old. Had seen everything within an hour

Experiencia fantástica: Very enjoyable experience the kids loved it

Experiencia fantástica: Another fun attraction great for the kids

Experiencia fantástica: Fabulous aquarium, really cool animals and lots to see - well worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: The workers were very nice and accommodating, they let us leave our very heavy bags with them. The animals were great and the place and glass of the water tanks was incredibly clean (which is not that common).

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best places to visit in Dingle. Very well maintained and the staff would tell you the activities happening during your visit.

Experiencia fantástica: When visiting Dingle take time to visit this great aquarium you won't be disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a lovely visit to the aquarium. Spacious facility. Such fascinating animals. My favourites were the sea turtle and I came across a super cute tiny hermit crab. Shout out to Sadhbh for chatting to us in depth about the animals and sharing fun facts. She was lovely. Looking forward to a future visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful place to spend with family. Families, children aged 3–15, those seeking an educational & interactive aquarium visit. On-site café, gift shop, accessible toilets, limited parking across the street

Experiencia fantástica: Great aquarium with lots of different tanks, exhibits and information. Plenty of fish, sea creatures, penguins, otters and even a butterfly enclosure make this a lovely place to spend two hours. Staff are informative and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved it, it's smaller but full of great exhibits and big on conservation efforts which we love to see!

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely place to visit for everyone

Experiencia fantástica: Really nice place to visit. Small but alot of animals to view and enjoy. We loved especially the butterflies, feeding of the otters and penguin and the beautiful sharks and turtle. Staff are very friendly and have lots of knowledge and answers to my questions. Really nice souvenir shop on the way out plus a little ice cream shop and outdoor seats.

Experiencia positiva: Nice way to spend a few hours with the family. I suggest going around feeding times to learn a bit about the otters and 2 different types of penguins.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an absolutely fantastic family day out at Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium! The kids were captivated from the moment we walked in. There's a brilliant collection of marine life, but a few things really made our visit special. We were lucky enough to be there for the otter feeding, and the staff gave a wonderful explanation – it was both fun and educational. The kids were completely thrilled to spot real-life 'Nemo' and 'Dory' in the tanks! The absolute showstoppers were the two huge sharks, which were simply stunning to see up close, and the amazing sea turtle. The turtle was so calm and would swim right up to the glass, happily posing for photos with the children. It's a must-visit in Dingle and a perfect activity for families. We loved every minute!

Experiencia fantástica: incredible place where animals look very well taken care of. We saw some of the inhabitants for the first time. Unforgettable impressions for children! I recommend it to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful fish all kinds, cute otters, quick pinquins and most amazing butterflies... Take time off for few hours and go slow.... Suitable for all ages. Can't wait to go again! PS! Thank you so much for help with wheelchair.

Experiencia fantástica: Cute little oceanarium that is a hit for adults and kids. Went it just to see the otters and they are so cute!!

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely a must see spot in Dingle. We loved the butterfly room and the otters. All of the exhibits are well maintained, the animals look healthy and cared for and the educational talks were very informative.

Experiencia fantástica: A great aquarium! I was really surprised by how big it was on the inside. The animals were some of the happiest animals I've seen in an aquarium. A great facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Exellent, best kept place weve been in , the fish were well looked after good shop too

Experiencia fantástica: Pretty small but very cool, one of the workers came to get us from a different area so we could go watch the penguins eat which was great. They have otters and I can watch them all day!

Experiencia fantástica: Dingle is beautiful . I visited in 2012 and went back with family this year for Easter. The kids loved Oceanworld and the town's vibe. Recommended if you have kids under 12. #Dingle #Ireland #FamilyTrip #Kids #Oceanworld #Travel #Easter

Experiencia fantástica: Doesn't appear large from the outside, but there's a huge amount to see inside. I was very impressed, and I've been to many aquariums. The penguin exhibit and seeing the loggerhead turtle up close were particular highlights. Highly recommended

Experiencia fantástica: Nice aquarium that you can do in 1h. Perfect thing to do with the kids after lunch in dingle.

Experiencia fantástica: Great aquarium! Quite the mix of animals and exhibits. I could have easily spent more time here. The inside and outdoor penguin exhibits were terrific. Loved the sharks. The octopus was my favorite!

Experiencia fantástica: fun experience! a bit small, but worth a trip! would go again if i am in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place to spend a rainy (or any) day. Knowledgeable, kind, & enthusiastic staff. Loved it.

Experiencia fantástica: First time we were not sure this place is interesting for adults people. But read reviews we decided to go there. Really nice place. We enjoyed every single minute. One adult ticket cost €21. Also there is nice gift shop

Experiencia fantástica: Always love coming to Dingle Aquarium! It was the 23rd of March when I visited and I want to say that the guy who was running the otter feeding that day was fantastic! He gave so much interesting information, was really engaging and overall just wonderful. Before feeding the otters, he was telling me about fish in the touch pool and then let me know he was about to feed the otters and on his way from there to the otter enclosure (about half of the aquarium) he told everyone who he passed that it was about to be feeding time for the otters. That meant no one missed it, everyone who was in the aquarium made their way to the otters and it was great seeing a staff member caring so much about customers experience and being so engaging while doing so This place also has the coolest animals and they're always expanding. The butterfly room that opened 3 years ago (I think) is just so cool, it's wonderful to see new butterflies coming out of the cocoons each year. And I love how this aquarium really places an emphasis on education but in a fun, inviting way

Experiencia fantástica: Dingle is one of the most picturesque towns in the country. Some great places to eat, beautiful views, really friendly people and some absolutely beautiful views but every time we’re there the Aquarium is a must for us. It’s such a wonderful experience for young and old. From native fish, tropical saltwater fish, sharks, turtles and rays to highly entertaining penguins, it has so much on offer. On our most recent visit the tropical jungle area was open with lizards, iguanas and a mesmerising selection of butterflies. Reasonably priced, an excellent variety of sea creatures, a lovely gift shop and staff and just an all round wonderful experience every time. Highly recommended as is the drive to Dingle.

Experiencia fantástica: Worth visiting this place. Me and my kids loved this Aquarium. Highly recommended

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely place to spent family time. Great for smaller kids but the place can attract teenagers too. Over the years improvements took place. Beautiful collection of fish and sea life. Educational tasks over the day. You can also see the penquins, small talk at their feeding time too. Butterfly section is lovely. Younger kids can spend there about 1h.

Experiencia fantástica: Superb experience!! it's a beautiful place to visit.

Experiencia negativa: Was here on Sunday, nice spot but really not worth the €42 if cost to enter for two adults. Been to bigger and better Aquariums with a lot more in them for half the cost. Unfortunately not a great review but not worth the price in my opinion Update: I see that I got a reply from the management saying that cost is high etc, but if you look at the aquarium in Salthill in Galway it's €15 per adult and they have a larger aquarium with more live animals then Dingle. So the reply doesn't make any sense. Due to the shocking reply and cost I have downgraded again to one star. As someone from Kerry and loves Kerry I hate to see tourist traps like this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a fun way to spend a few hours in Dingle.

Experiencia positiva: Very interesting and well laid out. Lots of different species. Michelle gave very interesting talk at the feeding time. Well worth a visit

Experiencia fantástica: Visited Oceanworld on a Sunday afternoon.it is situated by the pier and looks tiny from the outside but is actually very spacious inside.spent over an hour going through the aquarium and there was loads to see.the highlight was definitely the 2 sharks.seeing them up close was amazing.we had a great day out..highly recommend..

Experiencia fantástica: Great to visit with the kids. Staff were great and very helpful, they spent lots of time showing and explaining to the kids. Everything was spotlessly clean. Well worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Great entertainment and fun! Helpful staff to tell us all about the various fish, penguins, otters, highlight seeing Molly the turtle!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely fantastic all around. Worth the stop. Loved the staff loved the setup. My wife went to sit with the butterflies twice.

Experiencia fantástica: 2nd Aquarium we been too in West Ireland this one was much better. No disrespect to the other one. Two Sharks you can't go wrong

Experiencia fantástica: Gorgeous place!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely brilliant experience. Anyone is lucky enough to visit this part of the world should not miss the chance to visit the aquarium

Experiencia fantástica: We visited here with our 3 children. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff are polite and helpful. The aquarium itself has plenty to see with great underwater viewing areas, touch pools and a tropical butterfly area. There's plenty of parking across the road and it's only a short walk into town. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit , very interesting for all ages. Shark and turtle aquarium is a unique experience in Ireland.As well as the butterflies garden.The high price covered a wonderful experience.

Experiencia negativa: It's very well arranged and good for the kids?. but this is an old-fashioned zoo. Fish that migrate over thousands of miles trapped in small glass boxes, it's wrong. In response to the owner I won't be visiting an aquarium again yours was my first and last. I visited only as my kids wanted too. Your response makes no defence of my view on the treatment of the fish in your establishment. This was the key point of my review.

Experiencia positiva: Great experience, good value for what you pay.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit, very clean and interesting exhibitions and a must do in dingle,

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant experience. The ability to touch some of the rays, under supervision, were a highlight. Watching the feeding of the penguins and Michelle's commentary was superb. She is so well versed in all that is there. She made the trip even more worthwhile.

Experiencia fantástica: Not massive, but there is plenty to see and all the exhibits are well maintained, and the animals obviously have caring keepers

Experiencia positiva: It was good but little expensive for an aquarium. Live feeding session was interesting (sharks and penguins). The butterfly area was very cool too. I recommand

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely place, great staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Great for an hour or two, perfect for small children under 12. The large turtle, sharks, penguins and immersion room make it such a treat! Lots of informational materials to help identify the animals. Friendly staff and large shop, even ice cream! Thank you for the great views of fish and friends

Experiencia fantástica: Fabulous experience. We all loved it (2 adults and 2 kids 12+9). Really impressed with displays and loved the interactive part up close with the Skate. Definitely worth the visit and a beautiful town to visit.

Experiencia fantástica: When the sea .ist clears or the showers stop it is truly spectacular. Every twist of the road gives another stunning vista. Mid September ( on our visit) the roadside seemed aflMe with mesobrianthum ( unsure of spelling), fuscia and knapweed, beautiful.

Experiencia fantástica: Oceanworld aquarium is located shorefront in downtown Dingle. Walking distance to everything. I'm always a fan of visiting a local zoo or aquarium. I love the animals and seeing how each city/country highlights different aspects of their own wildlife. My husband and I really liked the Oceanworld aquarium and felt that we got our money's worth (if nothing else, we felt like we contributed to their conservation efforts). As you would expect, the aquarium had lots of fish both small as large and fresh water or salt water. They also had an otter exhibit (quite big actually) and since it was still morning, they were swimming and out and about. So cute!! Our favorites were both of the penguins exhibits. They were swimming and playing and interacting with us. Their names were posted and they had little beaded bracelets to identify each one. The king penguins would launch out of the water to jump onto to rocks and would torpedo through the water (using their poop to propel them). We met Molly the sea turtle who was rescued in one of the local bays. She was also very interactive but almost trance-like, so that was kind of sad too. They had 2 large sharks in her exhibit and beautiful large mantra rays (which I absolutely adore their faces that usually are on the ocean floor, but they would climb up the glass and show off for us. Another unique exhibit was the butterfly room and we learned that if you wear a bright color like hot pink, they might actually land on you! The aquarium was breeding the butterflies in a case too, so it was cool to see how they invest in their little habitat. As we left the aquarium, we walked through their large gift shop (great for kids) and stopped at the dolphin, Fungi's statue, before making

Experiencia fantástica: Sharks are awesome, but the massive turtle that lives with them just stole the show!

Experiencia fantástica: Always worth a visit when in Dingle. Staff very knowlegable and approachable.

Experiencia fantástica: Visited while on holiday with my kids. We had an excellent visit, the staff were very helpful throughout, proactively approaching several times to point out something worth seeing to the kids or grown ups. The layout was really clear and some brilliant sections based around different parts of the sea such as the Atlantic and more tropical. Even got to rub a stingray. It’s about an hour to get around comfortably.

Experiencia fantástica: Interesting place for families with children I recommend

Experiencia positiva: I like the aquarium and the penguins are well looked after! The gift shop is brilliant for souvenirs :) I loved the butterfly room and the axolotls the most :)

Experiencia positiva: A lot better than most of the aquariums I've been to. Bigger tanks and more species of fish. Would definitely recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Could spend hours in there, very informative staff members, loved the butterfly enclosure & penguins feeding time, lovely gift shop loads to chose from, would highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent trip to the Dingle Aquarium, we love to visit aquariums on holidays and have visited them in America, Spain, UK, Portugal and this was one of the best aquariums we have visited. Very entertaining for all groups.

Experiencia positiva: Good place for kids and adults. It’s in the centre of Dingle town. There is no parking inside the compound but there is a public parking area just opposite to the aquarium, busy time it’s hard to get. Toilets are neat and clean.

Experiencia fantástica: Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, lots of interesting facts, posters and videos on all the sea life in the aquarium. The areas for the animals are well looked after and makes for a great experience to get up close to so many amazing creatures like penguins, butterflies, sharks, turtles, otters etc. well worth a visit. All members of staff were also so welcoming and very pleasant to deal with. Great experience overall.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to go to and staff very helpful would definitely be back again

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely lovely aquarium. The turtle in the big tank was so friendly. With the new butterfly area, having them fly all around you was amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing set up highly recommended the turtle the star of the show love the camera

Experiencia fantástica: What an amazing Aquarium. It’s very big. Has so many different fish. A huge shark tank, a butterfly garden, otters, two penguins exhibits. One inside and one outdoor. Lots of viewing tanks. And even an arch one that you walk under. A huge gift shop. It was 52e for 2 adults and a child but we spent 2 hours at it which I think is good value. I’d definitely recommend this for a day out.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic aquarium, surpassed all expectations. The butterfly section was absolutely magic. The scale of animals. Friendly staff. We absolutely loved everything from start to finish. It’s a must when in Dingle

Experiencia fantástica: Small, but nice, better than the Galway oceanarium. The otters are cute but I do worry why they are there.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice Aquarium! Not huge but great exhibits. Lovely way to spend an hour or two.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely array of fish and sea animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Many nice and cute Animals We love the Otter's

Experiencia fantástica: It was magical. My family really liked it, we will definitely go again.

Experiencia fantástica: Not as big as I thought, but we got to see the otter, penguin and shark feedings and that was so cool. Really loved it. Easy parking across the street and the Aquarium cost €20

Experiencia fantástica: We spend a morning here after the weather turned on us - and what a lovely aquarium this was! Even though it’s relatively small, there’s lots to see and do, and it’s not just fish! Visit the butterfly centre, see the otters and penguins, as well as a giant turtle and walk through water tunnel. I would highly recommend Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium, an it’s a great option for rainy days. There are various talks throughout the day too. I would recommend buying tickets in advance as it can get busy - just to make sure you reserve your spot.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to introduce kids to our Sealife. The staff are very knowledgeable and the tanks were clean, with plenty of hiding spots for the shyer species. I felt a little sad though for the captive otters and the penguins had a small area. Otherwise it was a good place to visit

Experiencia positiva: Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium is not only educational but also visually impressive, making it a beautiful attraction for visitors of all ages.

Experiencia fantástica: Great aquarium with very knowledgeable and friendly staff talking during the feeding times. Learned a lot today I could not have read up on wikipedia.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience to be had, for big kids and small, everything from rather large sharks to all sorts of fish, You can see Penguins and Otters, they also have a tropical butterfly room. Large Shark tank , loads of other fish tanks. You can even find Nemo. I was very impressed with he wrap around huge screen where for over 5 minutes you think you are playing with the dolphins, swimming with the fish, and dive deep with a whale. I love it there and staff are friendly and informative.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best things we have done during our holiday. The kids loved it. The otters, penguins, sharks, octopus and everything else was so special to see. Thank you to the man giving talks during the animals feedings. Give him a microphone he is so knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Small well maintained aquarium that really packs a punch. Informative, helpful staff and amazing displays. The otters are so cute!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place to go with the kids.

Experiencia positiva: Just a short walk though, but there are many fun creatures to see! Try to come around shark feeding times (one of them at 1pm). It's fun to see the sharks and turtle feed.

Experiencia fantástica: Good place, kids loved it. Enjoyed seeing all the marine animals there.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic place for kids and adults. Not too large but very well arranged. Kids wondered seeing big sharks, octopus, penguins, turtle etc. Worth visiting.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the very best aquariums in Ireland! This is our second time visiting and we travel clear across the country to visit. Fantastic interactive experience! My biggest complaint is other guests with children. I know kids get excited and bang, but none of the staff stepped up and asked the kids to stop banging on the glass. There were lots of staff out and present ready to answer any and all questions, everyone was very knowledgeable. All the posters displayed great info. The animal habitats were very clean! We would most certainly visit again!
