Seattle AquariumLocated on Seattle's waterfront, the Aquarium provides fun and
exciting ways to see amazing sea creatures and colourful coral life
of the Pacific, and includes touch pools with animals like sea
stars and urchins from Puget Sound and Washington's outer coast.
The Window on Washington Waters is a huge exhibit that is filled
with native marine life, where dive shows take place three times
daily, while the Marine Mammal exhibit features sea otters and
seals viewed from both above and below the water. The Underwater
Dome is one of the largest exhibits, an undersea room that provides
360 degree views of the fish and sharks as they swim. Some further
exhibits available at the aquarium are Ocean Oddities, Life of a
Drifter, Pacific Coral Reef, Marine Mammals, Orca Activity Center,
Searching for Sixgills, and more. The aquarium hosts events on a
regular basis, some of which include a Celebrate Sharks event, the
Naturalist Program, parts of the Seattle Science Festival, and
more. Conservatio
