Lots of cute Seals & Sealions
24 May 08, 16:16
As expected
We visited the National Seal Sanctuary mainly because of the pictures of cute seals on their brochure.
The sanctuary has quite a few Seals including resident Seals who live there permanently and also Seals which they rescue from across the country and nurse back to health before releasing them back into the wild.
The visit was mainly educational. We learnt lots about the Seals themselves including what the differences are between a Seal and Sea Lion. The park itself was rather hilly (a free bus service was provided) and didn't have too much to see (the seals were in about 5 or 6 tanks) although it was enough to keep us busy for about 3 hours.
It's quite expensive to get in so if you can, try and get one of the 50% off vouchers (we picked one up from the holiday park we were staying in). It's worth a visit if you're stuck for something to do for the day, but as it's all outdoors it might not be the best place to go if the weather is bad.
