Sparky the Sea Lion would like to remind everyone that Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is open 365 days a year, and on July 4th, she will put on two performances; 11:30am and 3:00pm.

Now in its 58th year, the Sparky the Sea Lion Show is one of Como’s longest running and most adored traditions. Join Sparky and her trainers as they preform classic bedtime tales reinterpreted with an environmentally friendly twist. Sparky will add her famous flare to tales such as: Sparkylocks and the Three Seals, Sparky and the Frog Prince, Sparky and the Bean Stalk, Sparky and the Seven Recyclables, and The Princess and the Fish. These treasured tales will educate guests about ocean life, rainforest adventures, frogs, and much more.

The Sparky Show runs daily throughout the summer at 11:30am with an additional show at 3:00pm on weekends and holidays. You can also keep up with Sparky and her friends on Sparky's Facebook page.
