The Seal Sanctuary in Hel

O miejscu

Grey and common seals in the heart of Hel. Daily feedings at 11:00 and 14:00 — one of the coast's most popular family attractions.

The Seal Sanctuary (Fokarium) in Hel is a research station run by the University of Gdańsk, operating since 1999. It leads a programme to reintroduce the grey seal and the common seal to the Baltic Sea. Visitors can watch the seals up close in both outdoor and indoor pools. Feeding times take place daily at 11:00 and 14:00 — the busiest moment of the day. The educational section explores seal biology, the threats they face and the successes of the species-protection programme. It is one of the most visited attractions on the Hel Peninsula.
