The summer may be over, but our fall season is just beginning! The change of the season marks an exciting time for staff and animals. There is more time to focus on training new behaviors and, of course, we are excited to be able to offer meet and greets!

Meet and greets are a great opportunity for zoo patrons to see and interact with our animals in an up close and personal setting. As a guest, you will enjoy a brief educational presentation featuring our seals and sea lions and then families will get to come down as groups for animal interactions! A trainer will teach you and your family several hand signals to ask our flippered friend and assist you in feeding them fresh fish!

This exciting program is currently offered most weekdays, pending weather and animal behavior. Guests interested in attending a Meet & Greet should visit our Sea Lion Shoppe located outside our stadium for the daily schedule and to sign up for the program.

Participation is limited to 25 guests and offered on a first come, first serve basis. Registration is $5 before tax per individual. Children ages 2 and under are free of charge. Participants must be 4 years or older to feed the animals. Photography and video recording are not allowed during the program – optional posed photos are available with one of our animals following each program for an additional cost.
