Fresno Chaffee Zoo is excited to announce the construction of our newest exhibit, Sea Lion Cove. This $10.5M project will bring the Central California Coast’s Point Lobos to Fresno Chaffee Zoo. Funded by the 2004 Fresno County Tax Initiative, Measure Z, Sea Lion Cove is the first of several new projects coming to the Zoo.

Sea Lion Cove will tell the story of the Central Valley’s connection with the California Coast. Viewing areas will provide an engaging learning experience, and memorable guest experiences by including a large underwater viewing area. Presentations will be given daily, focusing on natural behaviors and abilities, biology and conservation.

The money raised for Sea Lion Cove will help extend Measure Z funds for future exhibits. You can help buy purchasing collectable “I helped build Sea Lion Cove” buttons!
