As we look ahead to Valentine’s Day, let’s spread the love like a herd of seals! Pick your pinniped—a harp, harbor or Weddell seal—and show your love for these playful, fin-footed creatures. Hear touching tales, and capture the unique characteristics of your species of choice as you make a stuffed seal sock puppet. Give your seal puppet as a heartwarming valentine gift, or keep it to remind you of our wonderfully fine, furred friends. Free, and admission to the grounds is free until noon.
