Looks good. The pool itself is the same but it wasn't small when it was built in 1972 - 200,000 gallons! Thanks for the photo.

Good to see somewhere which is upgrading their Sealion exhibit and NOT getting rid of them. I think Blackpool have made a wise decision here and will benefit from happy visitors as a result.

True but the water environment is kinda important, hope they spend they money on this and not aesthetics.

Did anyone venture to Blackpool Zoo this weekend and is the sea lion pool now back open? Any photos would be cool.

Went on sunday, the rest of the sealions were still in the small enclosure the other side of the otters. They did the feeding time talk in the new enclosure & there was loads more room! Was good that the sealions were crowd side of the pool too, made it easy to watch.
