• No booking, one queue for families and groups alike, and entry pauses once the site hits its visitor cap of 200 to 450 people

The University of Gdańsk Marine Station keeps a resident herd of five gray seals in its breeding pools in Hel. Keepers feed them every day with a short educational talk, so kids can watch the seals dive and come up for food at close range.

The ticket also covers the exhibition building, and the station runs a project to bring gray seal colonies back to the southern Baltic.
