New Program: Get up close and personal with a California Sea Lion. Get in the water with these amazing creatures as you get to know their unique personalities and characteristics. Guests ages 12 and older are invited to interact with a California Sea Lion in an all new in-water experience. Participants will learn valuable information about these extraordinary animals and what they can do to help their wild counterparts. Keep in mind these animals enjoy cooler water and we do not heat this habitat, so feel free to bring your own wetsuit in colder weather. At Gulf World we invite guests to come for the experience and leave with a mission to help the environment and the animals that call if home.
