Visit Us
Visit our rehabilitation center and learn about marine mammals.
We’re excited for you to visit our hospital and pinniped patients! On Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am – 4 pm, a docent will lead an educational tour of our center, tell you about our animals, and answer any questions that come up. Our gift shop will be open so you can support MMCC by purchasing apparel, mugs, plushies, and more. We recommend a $5 donation per person in your group. Reservations are required and tours are free. Thank you for supporting this critical life-saving work that we do!
