This hands-on program begins with a poolside informative introduction that will help you understand the sea lions' physiology, feeding habits and behaviors. Then, accompanied by one of the professional marine mammal trainers, you'll get up-close and personal with the sea lions in a specially designed educational pool.

Fast, agile and adorable, sea lions are fascinating to watch - and never timid about speaking what's on their minds! As the friendly sea lions romp and frolic with you, their barks, honks and trumpets will surely keep you amused. They'll also delight you with their intelligence and skill!

The sea lions' foolery, folly and frivolity will entertain and enchant you. You'll definitely fall in love with these marvelous marine mammals as you get to know them through petting, shaking a flipper or two, and if you're lucky, you might even get a big fishy kiss!
