Nice to have the Seattle Aquarium right on the Waterfront. It is packed full of different exhibits AND hordes of tourists/families/kids. Rather confusing lay-out, like a rabbit-warren. Claustrophobic.
I liked the Dome where divers feed the fish at about 1:30 in the afternoon, as well as the otters and seals. And the hall in which one can actually touch and feel the sea-slugs, starfish, and the stunning, chrysanthemum-like anemone.
But for my money, a trip to the Woodland Park Zoo--mostly out in the open--makes the Aquarium pale in comparison, especially in summer, though, of course, we shouldn't be comparing...

The last I heard, the jellyfish and even Mr. Puffer Fish had packed their trunks and headed south to live in a real aquarium. I have lived in Seattle my whole life, but I can say for sure, this aquarium has to be our biggest embarrassment of all. There isn't anything of substance here to look at. It's small, boring, and banal. Go up to Canada's Stanley Park and see their aquarium or down to SF's Golden Gate Park's aquarium. Seattle's aquarium is a big MISNOMER.
Pros: None
Cons: The Size of it All or Lack of

We have visited the Seattle Aquarium a few times and have enjoyed every visit. The animals/sea life look healthy and there are some wonderful attractions for kids of all ages. My kids favorite things to do are touch the starfish, sea cucumbers and other sea creatures. They have great art and fun decor around the building as well. There are plenty of benches and game areas for smaller kids to rest. It is a very family friendly atmosphere and educational for the kids. A++++++
Pros: Friendly staff, great varirty of sea life, lots to explore
Cons: You have to pay for parking downtown

It's actually embarressing that Seattle - a major seaport city - has an aquarium like this one. Not even close to the caliber of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, located in Monterey, CA - a much smaller coastal city.
The good news here is that the Seattle Aquarium is currently in the middle of a multi million dollar renovation and from the outside - it looks like they're making some major changes. I hope that they will gain space and better, more interesting exhibits.

They have a free exhibit that's just great! Walking along the waterfront, it's entertaining to just stop and watch the HUGE fish aquarium outside their entrance area. It's very enticing to go inside.
Once inside, the admission is well worth it. There's a large variety of creatures to see. It's very informative, well presented, and a joy to be in.
Prices are a buck well spent. Atmosphere is a-ok.

I know many people will probably not agree with me but I was not impressed at all with the Seattle Aquarium. We went there with the Citypass and were so happy that we didn't pay the full price for it. We got there at 4pm, which was 1 hour before they closed and we were in and out in no time. I think the best thing about the place was the gift shop. They do have a lot of fish so if thats interesting to you, you'll be happy. So my advice is if it's included with the Citypass, it doesn't hurt to look. If you have to pay full price. Skip it.

I enjoyed my visit to this aquarium, but I did wish there was more to it. I was able to make my way through the aquarium quite quickly, but I always went first thing in the morning so there wasn’t a large crowd to contend with. One of my favorite things about this aquarium is that they allow you to touch certain animals; sea cucumbers, starfish and other types of anemones. Very neat! Also, I thought it was neat that it was right on the waterfront and incorporated the inside and outside together.

Now I have already admitted how much I love the zoo. The aquarium? Not so much. Unfortunately the exhibits at the aquarium seem to be seriously lacking. I love the otters, so that's where I spend most of my time when I go. There are fish, eels, octupus, etc. but I really don't see the Seattle aquarium as anything special.
