The Zoo is opening a new sea lion and otter stadium, Sea Lion Sound, in the summer of 2012.
“I think people will really enjoy it because there are more ways to see the animals, and it’s a bigger arena for the sea lions and otters,” FHN junior and zoo worker Maddie Eifert said.
The new arena is 10,400 square feet. Zoo goers will enter through an underwater tunnel where they can see the sea lions and otters swimming all around them. Valued at $18 million dollars, it’s a huge upgrade from the previous 57-year-old stadium.
Five sea lions perform for the visitors, and it will cost four dollars to view the sea lion show.
“I think it will be cool,” Senior Megan Lesinski said. “It’s something exciting added to our already pretty cool zoo.”
