The Seattle Aquarium

Wonders of the Deep

Once you arrive at the Seattle Aquarium, prepare to be captivated by the rich tapestry of marine life that calls the Pacific Northwest home. This renowned institution offers an intimate look at the underwater world, featuring immersive exhibits like the 120,000-gallon Window on Washington Waters, where rockfish and salmon glide through a kelp forest teeming with life. Visitors are invited to touch live sea stars and anemones in the tidal pools, marvel at the playful antics of sea otters and harbor seals, and walk through the underwater dome for a 360-degree view of Puget Sound’s diverse ecosystem. It is a place of wonder and education, offering a profound connection to the ocean that defines our region, ensuring an unforgettable experience for every guest.
