We love to visit the Seattle Aquarium, and that's why we have a Family Membership. When you after paying, and getting a group photo, you're greeted by a floor to ceiling sea wall that will captive you. Walk along the tide (encased in glass) as you make your way past the well priced souvenir shop, to the start of the attraction. We adore the sleepy octopus, the round jellyfish section - great for you influences, the sea lions and the otters! Have fun, great for a rainy day, but know there is still lots of construction all along where the viaduct once resided.

Haven't been here in years so it was great to go back! It's smaller than I remember, but the exhibits are well maintained and employees were super knowledgeable. Always great to give back to the community while hanging with the fish. Although, I think I'd rather visit the zoo since it feels more interactive and of course is a lot bigger. I also forgot to get my parking validated (make sure to ask when you check in!!!) since I'm sure most people in this area know how parking in Seattle can be. Only a certain lot can be validated so make sure to prepay online and see the info within the confirmation email. The most cost effective way to visit is probably to purchase the CityPass.

A fantastic aquarium with lots of exhibits and different animals. All the staff was really nice and answered any questions I had. There was a really great area out on the pier to sit and take a break. The seals and the sea otters were very cute. Everything was very well maintained and all the critters were happy and well cared for.

My husband and I tend to visit either the Aquarium or the Zoo in every major city we visit. With Seattle being on the water, we opted for the Aquarium. Lovely place, with a wonderful and safe setup. Very knowledgeable staff, and beautiful exhibits. My fave was the giant octopus, Mochi. He was amazing to see and interact with. The giant otters were amazing to watch as well.

If you live in Seattle you can get a "Gold Card" for seniors and then the aquarium is free. You can get the card at Neighborhood Service centers, or check with the mayor's office for senior citizens
Yes but I would call to make sure.
I didn't think it was that large. Remember this aquarium pride's itself at having aquatic life that is indigenous to the area. That makes it very limiting. The Newport aquarium is much larger and has much more varieties of fish and animals. It's hard to beat it for a great aquarium experience.
Yes and yes.
Yes, although it doesn't look exactly like that.
They open on Sunday 9:30 am to 5:00 pm
I didn't see any while we were there, I don't think they have lockers.
Yes, it's name is Licorice and when we were there it was out and not camera shy at all. Such a cool animal!
I went four weeks ago, and they didn't really care about entry time as long as it wasn't overcrowded. And you had a ticket.
We bought city pass in front of pop museum under the Space Needle. I know that's a hike from aquarium.
34.95 for adults
According to aquarium policy, children in strollers are welcome. But they do not offer strollers for rent and do not have secure storage for visitor's strollers.
We paid about $27.50 per adult. It was worth it. As someone else suggested, the Seattle city pass for $90 is a good deal if you are planning to visit the space Needle or the zoo too. Only caveat is that the Seattle city pass is valid for nine days, so you'll have to plan everything in 9 days. Makes sense for tourists, not so much if you are local. Parking costs around $12-18 near the aquarium
What Fredy said. If you're wanting to do more in Seattle you can get a city pass for $90 to go to the aquarium & 4 other attractions around the city
The aquarium is almost all indoors.
Better to take the bus or train and save the headache of pricey parking and congusted streets.
The Seattle aquarium takes new volunteers several times a year. Check the web site under "about us" and scroll down to volunteers.
There is limited free parking, as well as some relatively cheap street parking. Also, there are plenty garages where usually 4 hrs is 12 dollars and 4 hrs to about 8 hrs is 18 dollars.
It says on their website that they will reimburse 3 hours of parking at pikes place market parking garage. Be careful though, we accidentally parked in the wrong one and could not get reimbursed.
Yeah its easy to navigate and open inside ,:) the octopus was my favorite
Open for Christmas eve per holiday hours n closed on Christmas day. December 24 (Christmas Eve): Open 9:30am–4pm Last entry at 3pm Exhibits close at 4pm Also have vaccination proof ready.
Kings Gate
It is convenient to buy the City pass
Bro let her go
There isn't any fishing but there are a lot of various fish to see
The aquarium sucks go to San Diego aquarium
Yes, for the time being they're using timed ticket reservations to limit the number of guests in the aquarium at any given time.
I believe there is but if you are going to be in Seattle for a few days the city pass is cheaper.
Yes, but the stroller will work better.
They gave me a veterans discount two weeks ago, same as senior, at $2 off, if I remember correctly.
No, but January in Seattle is pretty moderate. Just bring a light coat.
I'd suggest you go to their website and ask them...this is more of a forum to give opinions and photos of the aquarium...
"If there's no sign on the wall its not an official rule" according to Peter Griffin V. Pawtucket patriot breweries that is anyways.
5p is when they let the last people in, and you have to leave by 6p
Not sure of hours but didn't see any mention of closed signs this past weekend
Well if you want to meet up with me or just go to the post office and I can come to the house to pick up the bulbs
The otters, sea lions and salmon run are outside, but are covered.
We went Saturday morning around 11a.m.. it's not going to be really busy at any time until tourists season begins in June.
You can get free passes from the Seattle Public Library also. Checkout www.spl.org.
Depends on you and or your child(rens) love of aquatic animals. They do have different activities throughout the day. I can go with my six year old and spend easily 4 hours while spacing out activities and also eating lunch.
There is one by the stadium. You could take an UBER or taxi for a few bucks to get there!!
If you have a real service dog you should know already that the ADA laws protect you and you should know where they are allowed and not allowed. With that said Emotional support animals have NO public access rights as they are only allowed where you live and you don't have to pay a pet fee. Service dogs go through a lot of training whereas emotional support animals do not.
Over 65s get a $2 discount, so $27.95.
We do have an online store, but currently its selection is quite small. If you want to check it out anyway, here's the link: https://seattleaquarium.ordercompletion.com/
To my knowledge, they stopped hosting proms at the aquarium a few years ago because the music was too loud and caused harm to the fish and animals.
You should go on or before the day on your ticket. It is okay to go on the last day. Don't miss the revolutionary experience.
Adults $30, ages 4-12 about $20, seniors are $2 off
We had the city pass and went to both without any charge.
It's $29.95 for adults (13 and up) $19.95 for kids (4-12) 3 and under is free They have senior discount, disabilities discount and military discount all of $2 off each.
They are open during regular hours on independence day which is 9:30am to 5pm
It's best to check their homepage or website or call them directly to get the real information about the price
13 and up, $29.95 4-12 years old, $19.95 3 & under, free Seniors 65+, $27.95 Persons with disabilities, $27.95 Active military, $2 off
Adult is 29.95 youth 4-12 19.95 I got the citypasses children 3 and under are free citypass adult 13 and over 89.00 ages 5-12 69.00
I could easily spend 3 hours just watching all the stunning fish and coral on display. And then an hour watching sea otters fresh water otter and seals... No to mention the shows which I missed out on. If you go with kids who love water and fish, it would easily take half a day. On your own or with adults can range from an hour to 2 depending on your interest. You could see, snap a few pics and disappear in an hour if you are desperate for time. But if you like to observe and watch the fascinating marine life that you rarely get to see up close then take your time.
You will have to check with them.
Seniors are 65 and over
Not sure, but as others said, they should be able to do something. Great place to visit.
Hello María, unfortunately there are no direct buses to the aquarium, however, there are terminals near the aquarium, there is a greyhound terminal in the train station that is attached to the Century link stadium and from there to the aquarium you will walk 15 minutes. The aquarium is on Av. Alaska and the stadium is between 1 and 4 a.
The Aquarium is closed on Christmas Day but open all other holidays. Contact them directly to check as there are times the Aquarium hosts private events and may not be open to the public or may have reduced hours.
There is a parking garage right across the street with a fair amount of open spaces. Theoretically there is street parking as well, but it's usually full.
