If you're thinking Sausalito or Marin Headlands, think about this. It's free and the docents/guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about sea life rescue on display. Not a big place; easily done in an hour. Interesting video and store.

While chaperoning 120 junior high kids, we made a stop at the Marine Mammal Center. The tour guides were informative, but reminded us every 10 minutes that we had to be very quiet as to not disturb the mammals that are being cared for. The students received a lot of information that was useful, but it was presented like a...

Was very impressed with the great site and all the hard work they do. We showed up fairly late in the afternoon, and were able to witness the last feeding of the day. I would recommend showing up earlier in the day when there is probably more activity to see. As for the preparation area for food for the animals,...

The mission of the MMC is sincere and a true testament to what California does to preserve its wildlife. The setting is gorgeous, it's educational, and every kid (or those who still love learning) will have a really fun time.

A great place to learn about the ocean and the effects on the marine life. However the viewing areas are pretty far from the public

When in San Francisco, we always go by the The Marine Mammal Center (TMMC). It is in the Marin Headlands on a hill overlooking a beach. It is a great place for kids to learn about and see seals, sea lions and elephant seals.
The people there are excellent, and tell you all about the animals. There is a 2nd...
