Sea Lion Splash

We know many of you can’t wait to experience Sea Lion Splash again! The renovations should be finished later this summer, and guests can expect increased seating capacity, improved ADA accessibility, and added behind-the-scenes space for the sea lions.

DRAW Architecture provided the exhibit’s new design, while FogelAnderson Construction Co. has been the team completing the renovations. Part of the funding for this project was provided from the City of Kansas City’s GO Bonds approved in 2017 that were designated for ADA updates.

Throughout the renovation process, our four California sea lions have been residing behind the scenes on Zoo grounds away from the construction. We recently celebrated the sea lions’ birthdays, which all occur around this time of summer! The girls’ care team created a delightful birthday bash for Luna (9), Pepper (9), Tamale (11), and Delilah (13) – complete with fish, ice, and Jell-O cakes!
