Sparky the Sea Lion Goes to the Vet


Even after 50 years, Sparky (or rather, her latest incarnation) still packs the amphitheater! This summer's all-new show demonstrates for audiences what a visit to the vet would look like for her and her friends, and how she gets her vision, blood, heartbeat, diet, and nutrition checked. The show also teaches kids about the importance of exercise and dental care. Also takes place on Memorial Day and Labor Day Mondays. In addition, there's a sea lion feeding and behavior demo at Sea Island at 3pm.
