    We traveled to Seattle from a landlocked state so I was very insistent that we checked out the local aquarium. I was more than pleasantly surprised to see such amazing sea life and great exhibits.  more »

    Loved this trip to the Aquarium. We saw all the otters and boy were they showing off! The seals were putting on a show of their own. So many beautiful fish and so many people enjoying themselves. It was a great day.

    Very cute aquarium. The best part is that there are not too many people here. It was not crowded when we came to visit. They has a beautiful selection of fish. The sea lions were also very cute.
