Did You Know?
- Sea Lion Landing underwent a major renovation in 2015/2016, transforming from a basic pool-rimmed exhibit into a sophisticated multi-level facility with outdoor covered bleachers, wheelchair-accessible upper deck, and an immersive interior viewing room with floor-to-ceiling contoured panes
- The exhibit features both sea lions and harbor seals in scheduled feeding training demonstrations where animals perform tricks including barking, fetching, shaking fins, rolling over, and diving
- The interior viewing room utilizes contoured floor-to-ceiling panes that create a magnified 'drive-by' effect as animals swim directly past visitors, combined with recycled art installations
