Time Walking

As well as conservation, education also plays an important part of the Seal Sanctuary's role in the community and visitors will find the natural history projects both fascinating and inspirational.

Two walk-through features take a journey back in time and visitors can marvel at a world of dinosaurs, fossils and plant life as well as seeing living descendants of Lincolnshire’s prehistoric past. The only line of dinosaurs that did not become extinct 65 million years ago are represented here in the form of emus, pheasants and parrots (in our biggest aviary to date). Your time travelling concludes with our seal sanctuary pools but only after you have been through an “Ice Age” tunnel! See if you can spot the lynx, snowy owls, wildcats and eagle owls that lived wild in Lincolnshire until very recently.

Conservation Commitment

At its heart, The Seal Sanctuary is committed to conserving nature. Every person who visits is contributing towards the care of animals and our aim is that every visitor will leave with a better understanding of the natural world we live in.
