Directions and parking

Your day out at the Dolfinarium starts when you leave home. The salty sea air is ready to meet you the moment you make your way into Harderwijk. Our blue dome is famous to everyone in the Netherlands. Who will be the first to spot it?

A limited number of parking spaces is available right next to the entrance, which you can book online in advance. Full? Then park at P2 Lelykade. Is the whole Dolfinarium open? Then please use the main entrance at Zuiderzeeboulevard 22.

  • There is plenty of parking space here
  • The walk to the entrance takes about 15 minutes

A day ticket costs €11.50 and is available from the parking machines or the Harderwijk council website.

Important to know

Accessible Parking

Visitors with a disability who do not have an official disabled parking permit (GPK, ‘Blue Card’) can be dropped off at the entrance of the Dolfinarium. The car should then be parked on Lelykade (P2). The parking spaces at the boulevard are for short-term parking only (a maximum of three hours). The Dolfinarium has several parking spaces reserved next to the entrance for people with a disabled parking permit. To get there, cross the bridge to the Dolfinarium island and head towards Strekdam. Then turn left across the bus lane towards the main entrance. The parking spaces for people with disabilities can be found on the left-hand side.

Parking spaces for coaches

Those visiting the Dolfinarium by coach can get off at the Strekdam drop-off point. It will be a two-minute walk from here to the entrance of the park. The coach can then be parked free of charge at the municipal car park Flevoweg (P3).

If you want to get to know the park beforehand, please take a look at the map.
