Reviews

Great destination for a hike through the headlands. Went out on Monday to visit the little marine mammals on the mend.  Great little visitors center with extremely friendly staff. The gal at the door was so happy to explain the center and features within.  Inside there are a couple rooms with informative displays and interactive objects like seal pelts. Also some skeletons of seals that are really interesting! You can really see how they are mammals with their little front and back paws!  In the viewing area was this nice young vonunteer named Allison! She was super sweet and excited to tell me all about the seals, seal lions and otters in their care.  Great spot for kids! For adults it's interesting for sure. I'm an avid hiker and grew up on the coast of Oregon and Alaska so seals are nothing new for me. That being said I'm glad I went to check it out, 100% recommend:  Tickets are free and can be reserved online ahead of time.

Very cute spot to come on a date, by yourself or bring your kids!  This place is hidden in the mountains of Marin county but it’s a must stop if you are an animal lover. You can make reservations online or through eventbrite at least 24hrs before your visit. However my friend and I didn’t get tickets and we just showed up with no problem. I recommend you calling to ask if there is space for you to join since some days is pretty packed.  The mammal center itself was very cool, with a lot of information about the animals in the facility and information on how to contribute to the cause and be mindful of our environmental footprint.  This place is volunteer run so you can also become a volunteer or ask questions about what’s going on.  Some things to keep in mind:  You probably won’t get very close to the animals. This is because they are either sick or wounded so they need silence and very little interaction.  If you get lucky you might see volunteers feeding them, cleaning their cage or transporting the animals but this is not a zoo like experience.  In some areas they might be operating or examining dead animals so discretion is advised.  The place is kinda small so it probably would take you around 1 hr to see it all  Either way it’s a really fun place to learn about animals in the Bay Area and understand them.

It’s NOT a zoo. It’s a marine mammal hospital with lots of volunteers and they offer education on the animals they care for. Some reviewers are disappointed not to see animals up close. These people didn’t get the message. Call 415-289-SEAL 7325 if you see an ocean creature in distress. Volunteers from the center will come to the rescue.

I had an incredible time here with my teen! Here's what they had to say:  "I learned all about rescuing seals and sea lions here! We went on a Guided Tour and learned all about what they do at the center. We even got to witness a tube feeding of the Northern Elephant Seal pups! It was just amazing to see all of those rescued animals for free and know how much effort The Marine Mammal Center was putting in to rescue, rehabilitate and release them."

Neat place to see sea lions, elephant seals, and many other marine mammals that have been rescued. Best of all it’s free.

This place was awesome. Their mission and their volunteers were great. It's definitely worth the visit, especially if you have younger kids. We went during the week, so a reservation was easy to get, but we can't speak for busier times of the year.

Perched on the hillside with beautiful views of the Marin Headlands, the Marine Mammal Center gives visitors the chance to experience a working hospital for rescued marine animals mostly seals and sea lions. It is free to visit but I recommend spending the $15 to get a guided tour. My guide was knowledgable and gave me a closer look at various areas of the facility. I really enjoyed my visit and plan to return with family and friends. Great for all ages!

I found a juvenile male on the beach one morning early on a Sunday, looking dehydrated and scared. The Marine Mammal center dispatched and had him picked up and brought to a Sausalito vet. Hospital for recovery, within the HOUR I called.  His name is now Umi.  I am truly grateful for the work of this center and efficiency and effort put out to be there for our sea life.  Absolutely wonderful.  Thank you.

Amazing work being done here to help marine mammals in Northern California and to educate the public on local ecosystems! Helping to inspire future generations to continue the work to preserve our oceans

Fun visit, worth it if you are going to the nike missile site, otherwise i would pass, you can see the rescued animals from afar, but thats about it
