Royal Credit Union Sea Lion Discovery Show Opens At Minnesota Zoo

Royal Credit Union (Royal) has partnered with the Minnesota Zoo Foundation to bring the Royal Credit Union Sea Lion Discovery show to life, creating a new highlight of the zoo experience.  

Having premiered on Thursday, March 6, the Royal Credit Union Sea Lion Discovery Show takes place twice daily at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. inside Discovery Bay. The show features one or more of the five California sea lions that call the Minnesota Zoo home: Hudson, Flynn, Clyde, JoJo, and Theo. Guests watch the animals showing off their natural behaviors in and out of the water and having fun interactions with the animal care team.  

“At Royal, our core purpose is to create a positive impact in the lives we touch. We are thrilled about our new partnership with the Minnesota Zoo Foundation, as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to being a strong community partner and supporting local nonprofit organizations,” shared Melissa Koontz, Royal’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “This collaboration is an opportunity to make a difference by offering an exciting new educational experience. We look forward to helping families create special memories for years to come at Royal Credit Union Sea Lion Discovery.” 

Royal Credit Union Sea Lion Discovery is included with zoo admission, but, as seating is limited, tickets are required and must be selected at checkout. There is no separate ticket fee for the shows when purchasing admission. 

Outside of Royal Credit Union Sea Lion Discovery, the five sea lions can be seen throughout the day swimming and diving from the main level viewing in Discovery Bay, which is also home to sharks, rays, and other marine life. Learn more at rcu.org/MNZoo.
