Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium - Coastal Waters Sea Lions

Omaha, Nebraska

The Coastal Waters Sea Lions exhibit at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (OHDZA) is a continuation of the Alaskan themed area. This exhibit gave the sea lions an upgraded living environment that mimics the Pacific Northwest.

Coastal Waters provides guests with the experience of several views of the 260,000 gallon saltwater pool. The first being the Amphitheater, where the zoo hosts demonstrations and shows with the animals. As guests continue into the exhibit, they have two views over the pool, and a view just above the waterlevel. The last view allows guests to be nose-to-nose with the sea lions under a log canopy. The best views are below the water surface in the kid’s Crevice Crawl and Flooded Cavern.
