Review:
Located off Oregon’s rugged Pacific coast north of Florence, Sea Lion Caves provides a privately-owned bird sanctuary and wildlife preserve featuring sea lions and other local marine life. An elevator that can carry 400 people an hour gives visitors access to the Cave 208 feet below the visitor center. Kids of all ages will enjoy the caves and the wild sea animals that inhabit this beautiful place. Unlike a zoo, these animals are not bound by aquariums or trainers and freely come and go. The natural setting of the caves allows visitors to observe hundreds of sea lions inside the cave during the winter. During spring, the sea lions can be seen on the rock ledges, the entrance to the caves.
