Sea Life Park - Sea Lion Discovery

Swim with Sea Lions and discover their amazing personalities! You will be smiling for hours. This program gives you a unique opportunity for some educational, playful interaction with these wonderful animals. Begin with a short orientation session with the sea lions and your animal trainer. During the program, you will be able to pet the sea lions as they pass you in the water, give and receive a sea lion kiss (watch out for those whiskers they tickle!), and get a warm sea lion hug. You will help the trainer by giving the sea lions signals to enable them to prove their abilities and intelligence to you. They have a great sense of humor and love to mimic people. Be prepared to laugh while participating in this program!
