It's nice small center. Fun to take the kids there once in awhile. Kind of pricey, it's like $34 or $35 per adult. And They don't have shark in the aquarium, no sea turtles, missing lots of basic sea lives like, lobsters, squid. They have one giant lonely octopus in a narrow tank.
Nice place but its very small. Took maybe less than 30 minutes to walk through and we spent more time in the gift shop than the aquarium. Ok experience
Not a huge aquarium but very clean and you can tell their efforts are conservation at its finest. Spoke to a few of the biologists working in the different areas and you can tell they love the animals and what they do. Especially liked the octopus, Licorice. Very quaint aquarium with alot of charm.
The Seattle Aquarium is a delightful place for all ages. The staff is friendly, the Aquarium is clean, and they obey all state health orders. This particular day I brought my mother, fighting cancer, and was impressed with the staff. They were kind and brought my mother into the air-conditioned building as I waited in line. There was plenty of seating for her to rest as she found herself needing to sit from time to time. The facility was not overcrowded, and there were plenty of open places for us to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views. I was able to create a beautiful memory, have a personal conversation and reflection. For this, I will be forever grateful to the Seattle Aquarium and its staff. It's these little things that change the lives of others. Thank you.
Excellent aquarium with a good variety of animals. The touch portion was great with readily accessible hand wash stations and several employees on hand to talk about everything in the tank. It was a little confusing walking around since there are multiple loops and no real direction for starting from, we almost missed a set of exhibits because of the way we went around.
I spent two hours here watching the fish and cute otters. Well worth a visit. Best to get here at 9:30 am.
An amazing place and a good way to support the Aquarium is through purchasing stuff from the gift shop. The clothing is made from recycled bottles, so that's so cool. The clothing is extremely soft! I also got some cute keychains and a book that called to me. It's not a Huge huge place but its definitely enough to excite people and really give you a good look at pacific sea life. The education is very cool and there is a touch room! Which is good for younger kids.
Nice aquarium, but not as good as Mystic or Boston. A bit steep on pricing.. 35.00+ for adults! 20.00 would have been fair.
Overall, a good place to bring the kids, but you can skip this as an adult, unless you are into aquariums.
I had so much fun and absolutely loved seeing all of the animals and different species! My two favorite things that I saw were the Octopus and the underwater dome with all of the fish!!! One of the otters even came up to the glass and rubbed his head right by where my hand was!!! I would highly recommend this place for all ages! It is definitely a fun and educational experience!
Came with the City Pass (amazing value, you should get it if you re visiting). It s my first time visiting this aquarium and I really enjoyed the exhibits! Learning about the different local wildlife and how some are endangered is very interesting. I really enjoyed seeing the seal, octopus and the birds! There s also an amazing observation deck of the water!!! Definitely worth coming to at least once!
