Sea Lion Splash
Sept. 12-28 
sponsored by


Throw me a fish! Watch them swim, darting in and out, round and round, always entertaining and a bit mischievous. These crowd pleasing sea lions capture the attention of fairgoers of all ages. Surfer Joe, trainer and host of the show, will put these aquatic creatures through their paces, bringing out their natural comedic behavior. After stealing the show, they'll "wiggle their whiskers" for the camera. Have your picture taken with a sea lion on your shoulder!
This entertaining, educational show is located at the north end of the Avenue of States. Showtimes are: Noon, 3:30 & 7:30 p.m. with an additional 10:30 a.m. show on weekends.
