This popular attraction in Cornwall is home to a colony of rescued grey seals, offering visitors a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with these marine mammals. The centre features large pools and viewing areas, allowing guests to observe the seals swimming and playing in their naturalistic enclosures. Interactive exhibits and feeding demonstrations provide insight into the lives of these amazing creatures, while the centre's conservation efforts focus on rehabilitating and releasing injured seals back into the wild.
Lovely sanctuary looking after injured animals, of which there are plenty. Good little displays and feeding demos on throughout the day. Fair priced cafe and gift shop. Worth saving money and buying a family ticket if more than 2 of you. Little Dino dig area for the kids and a lovely little prehistoric walk with fossils and amazing facts.
Lovely interesting place for all ages. More like a small zoo now than a seal sanctuary. After having a snack in the cafe, we followed the fascinating timeline fossil dinosaur trail. Had great fun trying to find the animals hiding in their enclosures. Though, most of them were hiding from the screaming & noisy visitors. Didn't find the meercats. Will visit again when holidays end. Disabled friendly. Toilets.
Perhaps a little dated now but still a lovely place where the animals looked well a cared for and their ethos good. . Free parking. .The Gannets where great and you could get up close to watch them frolic about and dive. . Lots of geological history . A pleasant afternoon out . .
Wonderful place with lots of animals. It was very cold and Windy when we went in April. But there were lots of indoor walk through areas to go inside. One way round all the exhibits so you can't miss anything. Very wheelchair friendly although there is a steep incline to get in there is another root which is a bit less steep but further round. The cafe was lovely but because it was early in the season the cafe was not cooking hot food. We had a lovely toasted teacake. It was a little expensive but you expect that when you go away and it was very much in line with inflation.
Animals are very poorly kept, not quite sure how this place hasn't been shut down by the RSPCA. Very sad to see how bad of a state many of the enclosures are in, including the seal area, pictured. For the admission price of PS13 per person, we were extremely disappointed. Would not recommend supporting this place with your money and encouraging them to bring more animals into such a poor environment. Obviously understaffed and can't keep up with the up-keep of the place. Save your money.
An absolutely fantastic place for folks of all ages, whether as a solo traveller or as a family. The animals are well loved, there are excellent exhibits, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Please donate to help the seal sanctuary with their outreach and animal assistance programs. Overall, it's a seal of a deal place worth a visit.
