The Cornish Seal Sanctuary. What a lovely little place to spend a few hours.

Prices – 3rd of August 2019

We were concerned that we may find the sanctuary boring as two young adults but it kept us more than entertained. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of things there were to do. There’s (obviously) seals, otters, penguins, horses, sheep and goats to look at as well as a cafe, kids play area and woodland walks. There were also some fun animal facts around the site that we didn’t know before.

All the humans were saying ‘WOW’ whilst they were looking at me sat in this window. What can I say? I’m pretty breathtaking

The only areas you are unable to take your furry friends is the cafe (inside – but there is a lovely outside picnic area where you can have them) and the seal hospital (for obvious reasons). We expected to be the only guests with a dog but were so surprised to see around 4 other guests/families walking around with dogs.

We spent around 2 hours at the park and we did two of the woodland walks as well as looking at all of the animals and stopping for a quick snack.

We were lucky enough to watch one of the seals hop out of the water and slap onto the side of the enclosure.
Dad had to pick me up a couple of times so I could get a better look at my water cousins
Watching from afar, still unsure about the water logs at the moment…

Holy Moly! No matter how long you look they still make you jump as they swim past.

  • My Pawrents bought me a Seal toy from the gift shop. I love him and will name him after my favourite Seal – Pumpkin
