Visit Us
Visit our rehabilitation center and learn about marine mammals.
Tickets are free (a $5 donation per person is appreciated) but must be reserved online in advance. Walk-ins are limited and are dependent on capacity.
We’re excited for you to visit our hospital and pinniped patients! On weekdays from 1 – 4 pm and weekends from 10 am – 4 pm, you will enjoy a 30-minute experience where a docent will lead a 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 gear, mugs, plushies, and more. Thank you for saving marine mammals in need and supporting ocean conservation!
MMCC offers tour guides and field trips in American Sign Language with a Deaf Guide. To book with a Deaf Guide, please contact dbader@marinemammalcare.org to coordinate a time and date.
