    4th of July was my kiddo's birthday so we were looking for things to do as well as celebrate…read moreIndependence Day. My husband found this place and we decided to make reservations for the tour. Once the tour got started we listened to how many different types of seals the center accommodated with rescues that were elephant seals, harbor seals, California sea lions and on occasion otters. We had a chance to see some of the patients from an elevated platform. The volunteers also made the animals' food, ran the gift shop and of course were our tour guides. Because the place thrives largely on donations, we bought plenty from the gift shop including stuffed seals, whales, magnets, snow globes, and stickers. Fun free place to bring the kiddos, not to mention the beautiful views you see in and out of the way.

    We had an amazing experience at The Marine Mammal Center! We reserved our free, timed-entry tickets…read moreonline for a Sunday at 1 PM, and the staff was incredibly flexible and welcoming when we arrived. This place is a phenomenal animal hospital and education center, and it's clear the volunteer staff cares just as much about the visitors as they do about the animals. They provide a laminated map so you can explore at your own pace, but we highly recommend paying for the guided tour. Our tour took us past the large Elephant Seal statue and a view inside the treatment labs and fish kitchen. From the second-level observation deck, we watched the staff care for patients in their pens--they can hold and treat hundreds of seals, sea lions, and endangered species at a time. We loved reading the success stories of animals they've rescued and released, like Lincoln, through the before-and-after flip boards. We left with a whole new appreciation for the incredible work they do here. Please visit, learn, and support this fantastic organization!
