If you have been to any of the big centers (Sea World, Stephen Birch Aquarium, Downtown Aquarium by Landrys) skip the Sea Life Center of Seward, Alaska. Not at all worth the $15 admission fee. I think it took less than 1 1/2 hours and I felt that I needed some money back. The interactive displays were aged, the discovery... more

This turned out to be disappointing. There are very few live animal displays. There WERE a lot of audio visual media displays. It took less than 1 hr to see everything twice. If you've been to any good aquariums lately, I would skip this. more

The Sea Life Center in Seward is a wonderful presentation of Alaskan marine life, not a trained seal and whale show. It is meant to be a research, rehabilitation, education and conservation facility for the marine ecosystem of Alaskan waters. It does all of that while entertaining even the youngest family members. We saw toddlers laughing and dancing as they... more

Alaska Seal Life Center is a good museum focused on the sea life from this area. It's great for all ages, it's very interactive. They have glass walls that you can see the animals swimming from underneath - the puffins and sea otters were fun to watch. They also had an area on the impact from the Exxon Valdez spill.... more

The SeaLife Center is Seward is well worth the $15 admission. After viewing some exhibits upstairs, you come upon the marine animal viewing areas. They have a touch and feel exhibit where you can touch starfish, hermit crabs, sea anemones, sea urchins, and other animals. Also upstairs, you view the upper open air part of the seal and bird exhibits.... more

Wish we would have had more time here, and wish we wouldn't have arrived just as a cruise ship bus disgorged a bunch of folks. But if you DO have the time - Woody the sea lion makes it all worth while. He is Mr Personality, and I could have watched him for hours. The whole place is nicely done,... more

Don't miss a stroll around the Alaska SeaLife Center if you're going to be traveling to Seward. I found it to be very informative not only about Alaska's wildlife, but also about the effects humans have on the earth in general. There is a very cool "hands on" area where you can touch live starfish and sea urchins. You can... more
