We've been to the aquariums in Atlanta and Monterey. In comparison, this was disappointing and not a good value. It's not that this is bad. Rather, it's simply not good enough to justify the price. more

The Seattle Aquarium was a great place to take my young children (five and two). The first thing we encountered after entering was a scuba diver in a huge tank feeding fish and small sharks, my children were riveted as he talked about the different fish and their feeding habits. There is a great hands on section where you can... more

I love the Seattle aquarium. This is a great attraction in Seattle for all ages. My favorite area of the aquarium is the otter attraction. I recommend you check out the otters at feeding time. more

We have been to several aquariums throughout the U.S., but this one is our favorite. The giant wall-to-wall aquarium with the divers in them was awesome! The guys would grab a starfish and bring it closer to the glass for the kids to see. We could spend hours just watching them. The petting aquarium was great and the kids couldn't... more

The displays are nice. There's a small tide pool for the kids to touch the starfish (sorry - correction, seastars). A neat overarching glass tank/display of jellyfish where you can watch the jellyfish swim over you, and the very popular octopus tank (which was a stroller traffic-jam). There's also an outdoor section where you can observe a few birds and... more

Compared to some other aquariums I've been to, this one is small, but that doesn't mean it doesn't pack a punch. There are tons of interactive learning activities for children (and lots of children visit there), and some nice exhibits for adults. The outdoor otter and puffin exhibits were my personal favorite; so cute! They also have a cool aquarium... more

Take the aquarium in Cincinnati for example. I do believe it has a bit more to offer from a variety perspective, however the experience is completely linear. This means there is... more

If you have a couple of hours spare before catching the ferry (like me, I was heading to Victoria in Canada), go to the Seattle Aquiarium, I had a great time watching an octopus get fed, learning about the pacific sea life. I loved the Ottes and the seals! I recommend this place for kids, family and friends!! more

We had fun. The location is fabulous. There was alot to look at. Loved touching all the starfish! Have to say the 4pm feeding of the octopus was disappointing but otherwise, a great place to go. more
