Het Arsenaal in Vlissingen

OK

Erg leuke plek om wat te leren over het verleden, mooie vissen en andere dieren bekijken. Zonde dat het ophoud eind oktober. Erg jammer dat jullie failliet zijn gegaan. Voor diegene die nog snel willen kijken, twijfel niet en ga zsm

The pirate bit was a bit small and with young kids (5, 3 and 2we got through it in about 10 minutes. Nice play area, but again only going to take 20 mins before the kids are bored. The aquarium was the best bit, but not huge.Not really suitable for kids under 3, Id say.

Nice place but much to expensive for what you can visit inside

Same as 20 years ago

The attractions are old and dusty, not all of them work properly. Some dont work at all.The only thing nice was the aquarium and the tower.The rest should be urgently updated and fixed. Its too expensive for the quality of what they offer!For me, family and friends (a group of 4 adults and 3kidsit was really disappointing and a waste of tine/money.

Sehr Kinderfreundlich aber auch für Leute ohne Kinder super geeignet.Sehr interessante Fische und sogar mit Becken wo groß und klein Haie und Rochen streicheln können. In den oberen zwei Stockwerken, die auch per Aufzug erreichbar sind, dreht sich alles um die Piraten Geschichten.(Translated by Google)Very child-friendly but also great for people without children.Very interesting fish and even with pools where big and small sharks and rays can pet. On the upper two floors, which can also be reached by elevator, everything revolves around pirate stories.

There is room for improvement. In principal a good idea but a bit love is needed.

Closed :(

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

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 The place is outdated, the basins/aquariums a bit dirty.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

A bit tired looking. Not that much has been renewed since 2000ish. Best part definitely the fish tanks with some great specimens such as the cuttlefish.

It was a nice place to visit, also when there was a concert I helped with behind scenes

A little bit to expensive but generally ok

A somewhat small sea life / aquarium with a playground for kids.The aquariums are nice and contain a variety of sea life found in the North sea. Especially nice is the big tank were kids can pet the different kinds of fish!The playground is nice so you can eat something simple in the restaurant. If you like views, there is a very tall tower with a good 360 view of Vlissingen and the North sea.The section about pirates is a bit weird, and not very enjoyable for kids, perhaps this needs an update/change.All around the price / quality is okay.

beautiful view

I liked the concept. A lot to do in this from the outside "small looking place for this", so dont worry about that. Kids liked it as well.

Cool 😎

Good place for children to spend a day, knowing about fish a and the ocean life.

Lovely holiday destination, city with an interesting history and good food. Perfect for a day of walking along the sea side, visit to a beach or sightseeing.

Ttyt

fishie....

Cool

Best okay

Beautiful quiet place!

Nice aquarium. The tower was very nice to visit. Restaurant pricey and serving very slow. We waited for half an hour for our food and our young kids were out of patience. The food was REALLY not that tasty.

Pirates are always fun. Aquarium included

Nice aquarium. The exposition a little bit out of time. But nice place.

Whisky by the sea !

Great place for kids. Serving good food. But expensive but totally worth it!

Cool

Authentic historical place of colonial/industrial era

Ok

Food is overprized and has bad quality. Staff is friendly.

Friendly staff. Food wise: everything was microwaved. They microwaved salad. Pancakes had the consistency of cardboard. I would not recommend eating here.

Super

Voted "best attraction in Zeeland 2018". Well, I hope it isnt. Okay, its a fun place with aquaria, a fish-petting basin and those funny little fish that knibble your hands, but the place is kind of worn out and old-fashioned. My kids had a great time and well probably be back. Still, the pirate displays were quite tacky and the show was uninspired. Food: inside the museum its horrible (bad coffee, undercooked friesbut the attached cafe is allright.

Beautiful Beach

Nice

Totally brilliant. Loved it.

Fun for kids. But nothing fancy. Tower is closed at the moment.

Okay for a rainy day

Pleasant memories for many ...

Verry nice

Nice museum with lots of thing to do.

We loved the aquarium where you can touch the fishes. The playground for the children is also very nice. The venue is a bit overpriced though.

Not worth its money. At all. Not only entrance (they charge 3 year olds), parking (theres a free parking available but good luck finding it as there are no - zero - arrows towards it from the entrance and the closeby parking is 2€ / hour, also the restaurant: youll think *ok its overpriced but all theme park restaurants are* but (1its not a theme park and (2wait until you see the portion. Youre practically forced to ask for extra fries. (We complained about being expected to share one small packet of mayo and mini basket of fries with two people, got promised extra, got nothing. To be fair, we did manage to negotiate a discount, and the taste of what we did get was good.For an attraction aimed at kids, only two baby seats for the entire restaurant... I saw quite some parents balancing babies on their lap to feed them.Although the inside is done up nice, fitting the theme, you quickly get the feeling its all rather platonic. The aquarium is (nice butnothing special. The animated skeletons and pirate dolls are... Well... In a theme park you get those things to amuse you while youre waiting to get on the ride. Here its just that, without the ride. Theres a person making balloon swords, and this seems to be (expected to bea very prominent part of the adventure.Against all expectations (Im certainly not planning to go backit manages to get overcrowded in the afternoon. It gets stuffy and hot. You dont feel comfortable letting go of your kids hand for a second.The last floor featuring a bar, has some attractions. A kid climbing area is free - for everything else you pay extra. Again trying to be fair here: similar games in theme parks tend to also cost extra. Although the entrance fee there covers most rides and attractions, whereas here... It seems to have all the bad points of a theme park, and none of the good ones.My conclusion: drive to Plopsaland instead. It costs a bit more, but youll get much better value for money.
