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

Wow, I've gone here several times as a kid. Ever since the 3rd grade! It's an awesome place for kids. There are lots of hands-on activities and the animals are great! They also have a theater which is a plus. Admission is not expensive at all. It's located on the waterfront and is very easy to find. They have sharks, sea otter, octopus, and sea stars. Just great for kids in general, great for adults too. The staff is great, and it's pretty to navigate the aquarium. Check it out and write a review once you're done!
PROS: Great Location
CONS: Nothing!

Not the biggest or best aquarium but a quality one. Focusing primarily on local aquatic life. Fair amount of exhibits good educational information provided. Learning workshops for the kids.

There are so many wild things in the water! If you compare the weird things you find in the zoo to things in the sea, you will see what i am talking about. I remember back when I was in Highschool, we had a school dance held in the seattle aquarium over the otters and it was quite the magical night i must say.

I went to the aquarium yesterday and I must say that I was quite impressed with the exhibits and staff. There are tons of exhibits and hands on type things. A huge underwater aquarium, and tons of fish tanks and information about our native animals. This place was totally worth the money and I will be sure to come back!

The aquarium is a great place to go to see the sealife! They have a ton of fish, as well as the ever loved sea otters! They have an interactive area where the kids can touch sea stars and such...they love that! The only drawback is finding a place to park that is for free.

The Seattle Aquarium is such a wonderfully fun and educational place to go with the family. They have so many wonderful exhibits to see. My favorite is the underwater dome where you go through these tunnels into a room that's under water and every where you look you are surrounded by all these different sea creatures. It's just amazing.

We enjoy going to the Seattle Aquarium a lot. They have great hands on exhibits that my kids love to explore, with starfish, sea anenomes and other harmless creatures. It's a great learning experience for them. The kids also love all the close up displays and aquariums, especially the jellyfish ring that you can walk through. They are able to get up close with so many different sea creatures, and lets them see how different they are in person than on television or in a book.
PROS: Great hands on exhibits
CONS: Parking
