El Paso Zoo Sea Lion Exhibit 

The 90,000 gallon tank is home to sea lions and is part of the North American exhibit. The exhibit, with its rock formations, plants and landscaping, interprets the environment of the Sonoran Sea, the closest large body of water to El Paso.

Public areas of the exhibit include an underwater observation area, numerous above ground viewing areas and a natural 200 seat amphitheater. The tank and surrounding areas were carefully designed to allow the sea lions sufficient space to maintain the same activity levels and swimming patterns that they would in the sea.
