The Seal Sanctuary in Hel is part of the University of Gdańsk Marine Station. It combines observing seals with education about the Baltic Sea and wildlife protection. It is at Morska 2, with the entrance from Portowa Street, close to Hel’s waterfront.
The key experience is a daily seal-feeding session with a short educational talk. From September to June, sessions take place at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm; in July and August, also at 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm. Arrive early: the limit is 200, 350 or 450 visitors, depending on available pools. The talk explains seal behaviour and the Marine Station’s work.
The ticket includes one entry to the exhibition building with natural-history information. The sanctuary supports education and protection of Baltic marine mammals. Feeding, eating and bringing animals onto the grounds are prohibited.
The sanctuary opens every day all year: 10:00 am–4:00 pm from October to April, 10:00 am–5:00 pm in May, June and September, and 10:00 am–6:00 pm in July and August. Tickets cost PLN 30 regular and PLN 25 reduced; children under 3 enter free. There are no reservations; buy online or at a ticket machine. Tickets are valid for 30 minutes.
