Ocean World

Descend beneath the ocean depths and experience the sea life of the North Coast, like nowhere else on Earth. At Ocean World trained guides will take you on an interactive tour and will introduce you to the nature beneath the waves.

Educational, entertaining and fun. Your visit includes a touch and feel tide pool, a half million gallon aquarium and even petting a shark! Only at Ocean World!

Our seal and sea lion performance includes our two harbor seals (Marina and Skully) as well as our newest addition to Ocean World: Cora. Born in June 2008 at the Nuremberg zoo in Germany, Cora arrived at Ocean World in August of 2009. She's proven to be a brilliant and entertaining young sea lion. She is eagerly learning new behaviors each week and has quickly become the star of our sea lion show.
