Adventure Cove
Join us in welcoming the zoo’s newest and most anticipated exhibit, Adventure Cove. This state-of-the-art exhibit is home to 10 California Sea Lions and four Harbor Seals that inhabit a 375,000-gallon tank just steps from the Zoo’s entrance. Outfitted with coastal installations like a lighthouse and a wave simulator, you’ll feel like you’re on the shores of the West Coast.
Guests can get up close and personal with these playful creatures either underground by taking their 60-foot long observation tunnel with 360-degree underwater views of the tank, or from above on the elevated observation deck.
Jack Hanna's Animal Encounters Village
Get up close and personal with your favorite members of the Animal Kingdom. Jack Hanna’s Animal Encounters Village is a walkthrough, indoor/outdoor experience with rotating wildlife from all over the world. Featured animals are all Zoo Ambassadors, so you can rest assured that they’re ready for their close up.
The best part? Since they’re ambassadors, the animals on display aren’t usually able to be seen by the public! During your visit, you’ll see sloths, lemurs, tortoises, exotic birds and more all within an arm’s reach.
Stingray Bay
Stingray Bay is back open and better than ever. Touch a stingray with your own two hands! What used to be an additional cost is now free with admission to keep your spirits high and your spending low. This exhibit is available and open year-round to maximize your fun during every season.
Three exhibits, three fun ways to start your day at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. Share your memories with us using #SoDublin.
