Adventure Cove is New at Columbus Zoo
Mirroring the coastal wharf of San Francisco’s Pier 39 – with vibrant salt-worn storefronts and the bellows of sea lions – Adventure Cove immerses guests in an impactful and exciting world of wildlife as soon as they enter the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
This spectacular 4.1-acre new region honors Jungle Jack Hanna’s living legacy, shares conservation success stories and celebrates our connection with wildlife. Starting with California sea lions and harbor seals – species found along the Pacific coastline that are increasingly in need of our help – guests are offered awe-inspiring opportunities to view these intelligent, playful pinnipeds on land and underwater while learning how actions are taken here in Central Ohio can make a direct impact in protecting these species’ ocean home.
Adventure Cove also features Jack Hanna’s Animal Encounters Village, which serves as the physical representation of Hanna’s educational philosophy and his genuine enthusiasm for connecting people and wildlife.
Adventure Cove, the Zoo’s newest region since Heart of Africa debuted in 2014, opened in July.
