This presentation is accompanied by informative narration.

The Seal & Sea Lion Feeder Pool is adjacent to the Golden Dome, a Miami landmark designed by architect Buckminster Fuller. Open throughout the day, the Seal and Sea Lion Exhibit allows you to observe sea lions and seals as they frolic in the Florida sun.
