Seal talk: rescue and care
At the WEC, you can get a real up-close look every day at what it takes to care for these extraordinary animals. Each day, one of our seal caretakers* shares insights into the work that happens behind the scenes: from feeding and health checks to rehabilitation and eventual release back into the wild.
The Seal Talk: Rescue and care takes place daily at around:
- 11:30h – 12:15h
- 14:45h – 15:30h
*Please note: due to our international team, the seal talks are sometimes held in English only. Our staff do their best to explain the information using gestures, simple explanations, and lots of enthusiasm so that visitors who speak other languages can still follow along. Thank you for your understanding!
