Come hang out with the harbor seals! Immersed in water from the waist down, you’ll interact and engage with one (or more) of the Aquarium’s playful harbor seals. Known for their chocolate brown eyes, soft fur, and curious disposition, our harbor seals are ready to play!

How it works:
• Upon entering the Aquarium, you’ll be escorted behind the scenes of the Harbor Seal Exhibit where you’ll put on waterproof waders and learn how to safely interact with the seals.

• Under the guidance of a seal trainer, you’ll sit waist deep in the water on a sturdy rock platform and learn about the harbor seal’s unique characteristics and behaviors.

• Now’s your chance to interact with one of our harbor seals by giving belly rubs, waving hello and maybe even getting a seal-sized smooch!
