I brought eight-year-old boys and had a great time. I do wish they offered more information about the exhibits in the wall text--in fact the place seems far less scientific than the Monterey Aquarium--but we met two staff members on the ground floor who spent more than 15 minutes each with me and my kids educating us on sea stars and sea anemones. They were wonderful and we all learned a great deal. Also the cafe has great views.

There were a lot of unique features that would bedazzle young children, but as an adult touring without kids, the aquarium didn't have too much to offer. Some insight into local birds and sea animals, but nothing spectacular to speak of.

I grew up in Seattle and was excited about returning to the Seattle Aquarium. It was a huge disappointment. First, parking is horrendous and expensive. Second, the aquarium was remodeled and is much smaller due to all the excess "atmosphere" they added. The windows were small and the areas were enclosed. Not for the claustrophic! We ...

We went when they were rentovating so maybe it's much better now. It was a ok place it just seems kind of crowded. We did enjoy watching the otters.

I enjoyed this site on my vacation very much. You are able to take your time touring the facility and there are a large variety of displays to view.
