National Seal Sanctuary

About this activity

National Seal Sanctuary in Cornwall is a charity that rescues and rehabilitates grey seal pubs from around the Cornish coastlines. The centre also provides a permanent home to animals that need special care too! 

On your visit you'll be able to experience the animals up close and learn all about their individual stories and the care they are receiving at the centre. 

The harbour views pools is where you'll meet the resident grey seals and there are regular seal talks too where you'll find out all about them. During pup season, you'll also see the young ones in this pool where they learn how to fight for their fish and interact with the adults. There are three underwater viewing areas too! 

Meet the penguins at Penguin Beach and find out about the threats they face in the wild and what you can do to help. You can also see the rescued sea lions too! 

They also have experiences too such as enjoying breakfast with the seals! You can also become a keeper for the day and go behind the scenes and see how the residents and pups stay healthy. It's a great visit for the whole family if you want to learn all about Cornish marine life!
