💬 What Visitors Say

💡Visit during sea lion training sessions to see the most activity and hear the animals vocalize - they bark when hungry, making it an engaging educational experience. Note that formal public training sessions are no longer offered, but feeding times still generate natural animal behavior.

💡This is an ideal destination for families with young children - there are no age or height restrictions, and parents consistently report it's a great way for kids to experience wildlife up close in an accessible, manageable setting within Brooklyn.
💡Arrive when the sea lions are most active and vocal during their natural feeding times. This not only provides the best viewing experience but also offers organic educational moments about animal behavior and communication.
