About this business

This complex is a fine alternative to ocean-themed parks like San Diego's Sea World. Here, you can view sick or injured seals and sea lions rehabilitating in preparation for their return to the ocean. The center, run by two full-time staff members and a number of volunteers, caters primarily to California Sea Lions, Northern Elephant Seals, Northern Fur Seals and Harbor Seals. The center also has a gift shop and exhibits with materials intended to educate the public about marine mammals. Admission is free.

I took my kids here when they were young and now I take my Granddaughter. The work they do here is so important, I hope funding keeps this place alive and well.

I went to see this place and fell in love. I highly recommend all to come and see this hospital and what they did and to help with a donation or to volunteer their time.

Such a great place for kids and adults alike, the friendly staff was more than willing to answer questions and educate us about the Seals.

Only place is n SoCal completely dedicated to rescuing and rehab sea lions and harbor seals. Well worth supporting.

This is a great way to teach about caring for and protecting wildlife. It also reminds us of our impact on the environment we share with other animals.
