    The Marine Mammal Center - Before and after flip boards

    The Marine Mammal Center

    (186 reviews)

    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!

    It was volunteer appreciation day. Parents, friends and family all showed up to show support for…read moretheir kids. They came in and volunteered their time to assist the professionals that manage the Marine Mammal Center. What a joy and a pleasure it is to see a collection of fine young kids growing up and embracing something so amazing. The cruise, the teams of management, the love and compassion by all the people that are employed their is capable. It's easy to see that there's a connection that's very personal between everyone that comes there to learn and everyone that's there that teaches. Truly, a shining star of an organization.

    The perfect place to either: 1 - donate nice women's clothing (as like-new as possible) to be…read morescored buy women who need something nicer than they are in a position to buy and might need for a job interview, etc., Or: 2 - if you need some clothing to look the way you'd like to be seen for that special opportunity, be sure to stop by and check out Bloom. It won't be a waste of your time. Drop off what is nice but not needed so that someone who really needs it can have it! Note the specific open hours and donations accepted times on their website. Tip re. Dropping off items: Donations are received at the rear of the building, down the immediately adjacent driveway. Back down it if you can. It's difficult to turn a car around at the bottom!

    As you may know if you follow my reviews on Thrift stores, I am a reseller, so please remember that…read moreall my reviews of thrift stores are given from that perspective, which may differ from the ordinary shoppers perspective. Marin is the Mecca if you are either an ordinary shopper or a reseller in the high-end resale market this is a fabulous cause as well. They dress people who are looking for a new start and help them get professional clothes to go to interviews and such. The donations for the store come from very nice and wealthy donors in San Francisco and other areas of Marin County. The prices here are amazing. I mostly shop for myself but occasionally find something well enough price that I could resell it. They have a five dollar rack where they put everything that hasn't sold in two months. I found some amazing things on that rack today. I also bought myself some lovely things spent more than five dollars of course but not anywhere near the actual value of these designer pieces if you are anywhere near this place, you must stop by and support this wonderful cause.

    I could never understand places that could watch cats. It seems to go against their demeanor…read more My friend has been bringing all her cats here from the beginning of their opening saying how unique it was- that was the last time I visited, and I am so surprised how well it has been tweaked to perfection with A/C/air etc. but especially at this place! I know another place in San Rafael that had like some giant room with all the cats, which sounded chaotic to me. People would say, "oh it works out" or "you just need to have that kind of social cat." My cat is chill but doesn't care for the interloping neighbor cats -so wasn't sure how this would work out. She gets so upset with a visitng cat coming face to face with her in our windows. This place has little suites of different sizes for each cat or groups of cats from the same family and you can get video updates on your cat, plus extras if you so choose; like If you want to FaceTime your cat daily etc. This was my first time going and I was in a pinch, really needed a place for my cat to stay so we had to try it, it was slow going at the beginning, first video was all dark cause she was in her carrier hunkered down, but the final kitty email we got on the day of pick up our cat was out of her carrier taking pets and sweet talking although also kind of growling and hissing, ultimately kind of came around which was pretty amazing. I realize cats are not wanting change, certain cats, especially probably mine, but I was impressed to see the progress from her on that last day. Definitely worth a try it if you are in a pinch with a very picky cat. My cat is up at the crack of dawn, climbing trees and loves the garden and watching the wildlife fly in and out of the garden and sleeping in different window sill etc. comes in late. I do feel like next time she could get to the top of the perch of her suite next time and realize it is another version of her climbing tree. The staff totally understands the personality of cats, what they want and don't want, they are the boss and they are just so sweet to them and understanding. It goes a long way and takes very special talent to do this job great which they do .

    I left my cats there about 2 weeks ago and that was such an amazing experience!…read more I'll start by saying I needed to make a last minute booking and they answered my request and my questions really fast which I really appreciated how easy was to communicate with the staff. Also they were really flexible and accommodated my schedule which made things so much easier for me. My younger cat Mango it is very anxious and do not do very well in new places, but they were so good with him that when I picked him up he wasn't stressed out at all about being away from home. Plus they sent me a "cat mail" which made me feel so much relieved seing that my babies were doing well during the day. I would definitely recommend and use their services again. 10/10

    I don't understand why there's only one employee, putting clothes away? It looks like a bomb went…read moreoff in this store. Clothes all over the ground, every single isle, while also being kicked around cleaning their filthy floors. Even more staff today and still a mess? Too many staff trying to look busy. Everything's kind of mushed together as far as all the different types of clothing. Anything somewhat decent way over priced. A very small glass Tupperware container $7.99? It's not a nice thrift store at all anymore. Hire staff that actually work. Huge line while three staff are teaching a new person to use the one other register? The comment from SA about my complaint, didn't match my concerns at all?? Weird as if they didn't read it at all? This place is an overpriced junk store. Why so many clothes on the ground every time I've gone. I'm always hoping they'll clean up a bit, but it just gets worse! It's for a good cause, but you'd make more of a profit if it wasn't so junky and dirty! This store has all new staff, but it's the worst it's ever been!

    I'm a regular thrifter and have found some gems here however there is a definite feeling of misery…read morehere. The employees never say anything in particular but they look beaten down and it's clear the management is either creating or tolerating some negative environment. The turnover for employees is fast! The housewares section is dismal, very overprice. I agree it seems the good things must be being sold to pickers on the side or sent elsewhere. This is a wealthy area yet what comes in is generally very worn or low quality. Organization has gone downhill and racks are stuffed in there now. No decor and it seems dirty. It's my last choice these days.
