About The Marine Mammal Center

Just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, experience an introduction to coastal cousins—northern elephant seals, California sea lions, and harbor seals, at the Marine Mammal Center. Open to the public from 10am - 4pm Friday through Monday. the center's docents and experts teach visitors about these aquatic creatures and their ocean ecosystems, the threats they face, and how the public can make a difference. Visitors can see the marine mammal patients from the observation deck and watch volunteers and veterinarians in action. Through donations and programs like Adopt-A-Seal, any animal-lover can buy fresh fish and medicine for a rescued seal or sea lion.
