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.

The dedicated people at the Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles engage with marine mammals that are sick and/or injured, some hanging by a thread and lifeless, near death. Through their efforts, they breathe life back into them and give them a second chance.

They care for helpless seals and sea lions in need. It is a beautiful place and they are doing beautiful things there.
