Featuring an underwater dome, a nationally acclaimed fish hatchery, and an exhibit that lets you shake hands with an octopus, the Seattle Aquarium lets you do more than just see the sea life of Puget Sound. The nationally acclaimed aquarium on the Seattle waterfront has more than 380 species of fish, invertebrates, birds and marine mammals. What separates the Seattle Aquarium from other aquariums? Invention and interaction. In the world's first aquarium-based salmon ladder and fish hatchery, visitors can witness the entire life cycle of Pacific salmon.
The Seattle Aquarium is a great hands-on experience for kids, as well. In the Life on the Edge exhibit, they can feel a wolf eel's teeth, or find out what real starfish and sea urchins feel like in a touching pool. And in the underwater viewing area, kids can dress up in diving gear and fins and run around pretending they're underwater. Located on downtown waterfront, the Seattle Aquarium is your portal to the sea around you.
