The staff were amazing here: friendly, interactive, and happy to answer all questions, even from our kids. The touch tank was a huge hit with our young kids, and the seals were a treat to see. I highly recommend a visit here.

The girl who was working the touch tank was incredibly useless, more interested in her phone than answering our questions. I think our interest in the sea life was annoying her. The seals were cool to watch and the Lady working in that area was helpful and pleasant. The place is extremely inaccessible.

We loved it here!It's funny because we were looking for scenic spots along the coast to take pictures and just stumbled across this University / Study Facility..We decided to visit and I have to say it is a MUST visit if you're in the area in the summer months.It is completely free to view the seals and hold the sea creatures in the touch tank.This spot really is a hidden gem for outsiders who would have no way of knowing about it. We are from Toronto, so anything like this would be easily $10 each there.Not to mention, the staff were all amazing too and knowledgeable about the animals.

Indoors closed for COVID. Seals were beautiful but their tanks are smaller than my neighbours outgrown pool?!?

Canada day is the time to go down! Touch tank and you get to see the seals. Face painting. I'll never forget just having nothing to do on holidays and you can always at least GO SEE THOSE DARN CUTE SEALS. But there was a whole bunch of things for that day was very nice

This place sucked. We got there and saw numerous vehicles parked so we were encouraged. No signs anywhere to guide you where to go. We walked around and saw no one. There was absolutely nothing to see or do. Total waste of time and definitely not worth the drive. Would NOT recommend!!

Not much to see except for two seals and the view. Hard to know where to park and view stuff

It might not sound like it but this is a great place for tourists too. Despite the name there is a lot too see including the seal tank, touch tanks for the kids to explore some of the ocean sea life.
