Global InformationMablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre information
The Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre, often abbreviated to Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary or Mablethorpe Wildlife Centre is a seal sanctuary and animal attraction in the coastal town of Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, England. It is a tourist attraction and works to rehabilitate sick and injured seals. It is located close to the seal breeding colony at Donna Nook and many of the animals it rescues are young seals born there.[1]
Other animals visitors can see at the attraction include gibbons, meerkats and birds of prey.[2][3] The attraction works with a charity called Mablethorpe Animal Rescue and accommodates much rescued native British wildlife, as well as exotic species.
In the 'Time Walking' zone, visitors can view fossils of dinosaurs and other extinct megafauna, including allosaurus, archaeopteryx and mosasaur. Another part of the attraction is themed around the ice ages, and animals which have become extinct in Britain since then, featuring Eurasian lynx.[4][5] There is also a café and gift shop.[6]
