Reviews
"Lots of sea lions with a huge area to swim."
"The sea lions are active and playful. There are sheltered spots to watch. One of the better exhibits in the zoo."
"Very neat sea lion exhibit. The animals seem like they have a good time watching the people. The underwater viewing windows are fun and a relaxing respite from the sun."
"It's a beautiful place, nice for family time."
"This place is super duper awesome. Definitely one of the top drawers if not the top draw at the zoo. You got to see how the sea lions swim around whether it's separate or together with a partner. I can't imagine a better place to hang out with your family. The young ones in particular will absolutely enjoy the show that the sea lions put on. Just remember that there is a lot of walking around in this area and that if you have a kid it's good to bring the stroller just in case as there are many steps."
