    Ecomare, located in De Koog on the Dutch island of Texel, is a nature museum and rehabilitation center that offers visitors a comprehensive look at the local marine ecosystem. The museum features exhibits on the Wadden Sea, North Sea, and the flora and fauna of Texel. Visitors appreciate the informative displays about marine life, including seals and porpoises, as well as the opportunity to watch seal feedings. The center's work in animal rescue and rehabilitation is highly regarded. While many enjoy the aquariums and outdoor pools, some visitors find the entry fee a bit high. The museum provides a good mix of indoor and outdoor activities, making it suitable for various weather conditions. However, some guests mention that certain areas could benefit from updates or renovations. Overall, Ecomare offers an educational and engaging experience for those interested in marine life and conservation, though the experience may vary depending on personal interests and expectations.

    Fauna, flora en het zeeleven bij Texel vind je hier. Het is vrij klein, maar zeker de moeite waard. Vooral met kinderen leuk om te bezoeken. En natuurlijk erg goed dat Ecomare er is voor de opvang van de dieren.
