Put your flippers together to welcome Kim and Rose, the big stars at the Gulf Coast Exploreum’s Sea Lion Splash traveling exhibit.

Starting tomorrow and continuing through Nov. 21, the rescued South American sea lions will perform up to four shows a day from two pools and a stage across the street from the Exploreum at the corner of Government and Royal streets in downtown Mobile.

The sea lions will perform tricks during the 30-minute shows, guided by their trainers, Gala Rogacheva and Carl Kruger, who will also tell audiences about efforts to protect the animals.

To attend a show, buy an exhibit-only or a combo ticket to the Exploreum at the box office; a timed Sea Lion Splash ticket will be included. The admission includes general access to the Sea Lion Splash area in between shows, so that visitors may watch and photograph the sea lions.

Splash dates and times:?

Monday-Friday, 9 a.m., noon, 3:30 p.m.

Saturday, 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 3:45 p.m.?

Sunday, 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Tickets: The Sea Lion Splash admission is included with general admission and combo admission tickets. (Note: there are no online sales for Sea Lion Splash.)

Prices: General admission: Adult, $16; youth, senior, $15; child, $14; $4 for Exploreum members. Combo tickets that include an IMAX film will also be available.

The Exploreum is expecting high demand for the Splash shows. The weekday morning slots, 9 a.m. and noon, already have quite a few school groups coming for each show, according to Hela Sheth, the Exploreum’s director of marketing and public relations.

For those who plan to come on a weekday, Sheth recommends the 3:30 p.m. show. But there will be plenty of seats for all the show times, she said.

Just as with the popular Bengal tiger shows in 2008, the gift shop will feature sea lion merchandise, including T-shirts, books and stuffed animals.

For more details, call 251-208-6873 or visit www.exploreum.com.
