A very nice place, it's best to arrive when it's feeding time (it's worth taking a look at the website to see when it takes place). Seals are most visible when feeding. There is also a small museum related to seals and a glass room with a view of the pool where seals swim.

Seal sanctuary & very interesting exposition of Marine life, especially seals - they Are about five of them in two water tanks. Can see from quite close. In the house a small museum - not So many years ago Baltic was full of sea life, people should see what they did with it! .
Part of University, if interested in research or protection, they might be interested.

The price has gone up - not 5 zlot any more, but 10. You'll still need 5 zlot coins, but there is a exchange machine next to entry gate, paper bills can be easily changed there. We saw in total 4 seals there. I hope the price raise will be reflected in at last some explanations or brochures in English as well.

The area is small, I was disappointed, I thought it would be much bigger with many many seals.
In practise there is like 4 of them, swimming in dirty water. If not for kids, I would not go there for sure.
Maybe I should not go to Wrocław 's "Afrykarium" before I visited "Fokarium" (that set my expectations higher).

Nice small place were they rescue and care for sick seals from the Baltic Sea. It has much charm. The exhibition is old school, no computer games or other stuff. You can see the working place of the veterinarians. Seals are swimming in the outdoor pools.

I'm at this place at the moment of writing this review and this attraction is the absolute worst. If you have ever been to any place of this kind I guarantee you that it was better then this one, for example "Seaworld". They call it the "herd"(I don't know the proper name) while it actually consists just of three seals that are lazy and now barely any tricks. You will not enjoy yourself on this tourist attraction and I definitely do not recommend this to anyone unless you want to get bored to death.

Must say the seals were cute however it's a small place filled with tourists. For five zl. it's still worth it but I hoped they could be in a bigger pool and let people in as they leave so it's easier for everyone to get a good spot.

Huge crowd, just a few seals, very small museum. Just to see seals and leave. If you want longer visit and see seals I strongly recommend Sarbsk near Leba

Feeding show, that means 20 minutes in queue at the entrance and 15 minutes of show. The pool was small and the site was terribly crowded, so when you was of smaller physique or had bad luck, you saw almost nothing. There is space to observe the cute animals more likely after the show when most of visitors are heading to exit. Although the seals are very cute and the entrance fee quite small (5 zł), it was an disappointment.

We went in 40 minutes before the feeding time and there was already a bunch of people there and it only got more crowded. There wasn't room to sit or walk because of how packed everyone was. Trying to get in and out of the small area took longer than the actually "show." It's a waste of time and money and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
