Seattle Aquarium

Seattle Aquarium is located on Seattle's waterfront and features live marine animals from local waters and tropical habitats. Families can join drop-in Toddler Time for hands-on activities, play in Caring Cove with pretend vet and biologist stations, or explore touch pools to gently handle sea stars and sea cucumbers. You can catch the Catastrophe by the Sea puppet show and sign up for seasonal programs like beach tidepool walks with naturalists, the Cedar River Salmon Journey to spot returning salmon, or weeklong marine summer camps.
