The improvements at Como Harbor include features that make this area feel more like the Pacific coast.  There are two saltwater pools that allow the public to view the animals in and out of the water, a shaded amphitheater along with a stage, and some great areas where training sessions can happen with the zookeepers and animals.  You can see the whole revamped area below.
