Fjord & Baelt, Kerteminde

Wonderful and talented staff that are there to make your day the best it can be. Both educational and interesting as well as being extremely humane towards the animals. Their training sessions with the larger animals are something to stick around for. It's very informative.

I like the place and the fact that they are scientifically based and not a show place for profit. However, they should offer better advice than just saying it's great for kids. For the seal/porpoise event, I showed up 10 min. early to get a space where my 3 and 5 year old grandkids could see. Waiting for 10 min. was a little hard, so I was happy to see the person in charge only slightly late. Then there was a 15 min. intro, mostly about brushing teeth on seals, followed by the actual tooth brushing, which was another 10 min. of no visible activity. There was also some talk about cutting claws (none of which needed cutting). After a 5 min. break, we switched to the porpoise section, starting with some talk, failed attempts to get a seagull to fly, and more talk while the nose of the porpoise may have been slightly above water close to the trainer. It had been about 45 min. since we started waiting, and the kids really wanted to leave. I think more detailed information, helping us to understand that kids should be older for this event, would have been helpful. The same goes for the boat ride we had reservations for, but found out when arriving that the youngest was not old enough. Anyway, we had a lot of fun with other things; not least with the crabs.
