 At the Vallarta Adventures Dolphin Center and Marine Mammal Educational Facility in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico, a family of sea lions and the people who care for them are working together to learn a little more about marine mammals in hopes that this knowledge will lead to an increased appreciation and respect for these amazing animals and the environment we share.
 Our educational and entertaining sea lion programs offer you and your children the unique opportunity to learn more about these fun-loving and facinating marine mammals while getting to know our friendly family of sea lions and their professional marine mammal trainers in our hands-on, interactive sea lion programs.
 Here's your chance to meet our family of sea lions.
