The best exhibits are the sea otter, sea lion, and the underwater tunnel in the South Pacific Sea area. The outdoor touching pools area is also great. Parking is a bit crazy, and at the time I went, there was also construction going around the parking lot, so it took us ~20 minutes from Shoreline drive until we were parked. Getting out of the parking lot is a bit crazy too. My family and I went on a rainy weekend day, which ended up being extremely packed with other families and whatnot, which was a bit overwhelming for my wife and daughter, but altogether fine. The food isnt exactly the best, but my daughter did like the chicken tenders at Cafe Scuba; we got some really great seats overlooking the Sea Lions.

We are big fans of animals and sea life, so we are very excited that this aquarium is here, although we wish there was slightly more efficiency in how the operations were handled.
