The seals are one of the major attractions of the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary in Oban.  Each year around 20 rescued seals are taken to the Sanctuary, where they are cared for, and prepared, where possible, for rehabilitation back into the sea.  The other "must-see" for many children will be the otters, particularly at feeding time.  There are also many indoor tanks displaying a wide variety of fish and other marine life - including crabs, lobster and anemones. 

The Sanctuary occupies an enviable position, overlooking Loch Creran - and you can enjoy the views from the restaurant.  
 
Other notes
  • Access for pushchairs is good outdoors, but there are quite a number of steps within the building which houses the marine life displays. You may find it easiest to carry very little ones around this area. 
  • Discounts for groups of 10 or more and for schools visits
