Hear the sounds of barking sea lions, breathe in the fresh ocean air and see first-hand what it takes to rescue and rehab our flippered friends at The Marine Mammal Center, a veterinary hospital for seals and sea lions.
On our Docent-Led Tours, you and your family will learn of daring rescues, surprising injuries and heartwarming releases back to the ocean. You’ll learn how one small facility rescues and rehabilitates nearly a thousand marine mammals each year through stories, photos, exhibits and even viewing areas where you can see our marine mammal patients!
Docent-Led Tours are ideal for individuals and families that want to learn more about the work of the Center. If your group is more than 10 people, please call us to book a private tour. PLUS! Receive a 10% discount in the Gift Shop on the day of your tour. Reservations are recommended, though walk-ins are welcome.
