Marin Kids
The Marine Mammal Center is a unique non-profit organization that rescues and humanely treats ill, injured or orphaned marine mammals. Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and return healthy animals to the wild. Their educational programs for children and teens teach young people about the value of marine mammals. Research into marine mammals and ocean health is also a large part of their operation.
Currently the center’s hospital is undergoing major renovations and is closed to visitors until work is completed. It is expected to be reopened to the public in the fall of 2007. However, the Marine Mammal Center has opened a new visitor center and gift store inside a historic World War II mess hall building in Fort Cronkite, in the Marin Headlands. The new visitor center is designed to educate the public about the work at the center as well as about marine mammals and ocean health.
The Marine Mammal Visitor Center is open daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm, except Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. There is no admission fee. To arrange tours for groups of 10 or more call: 415.289.7330. Information: 415.289.7325 or www.tmmc.org
