What people are saying:
What is special about the Seattle Aquarium is not the rebuilt aquarium itself, but the glass that is placed underground to show the real scenes from the bottom of the sea. The aquarium focuses on the following 4 points: First, there is a huge piece of glass in the door as soon as you enter, don't miss the diver feeding the fish show. Second, there is the experience and explanation area where you can touch any seafloor life, including starfish, etc., except for the fish. Each booth has staff to explain, any uninformed can consult them at any time.

Introduction
It isn’t just a fun place to see creatures of the deep, touch the wonders of the tide pools, and come face-to-face with adorable marine mammals. The aquarium, located on the waterfront, next to the Omnidome, is also a champion of marine conservation and education. A visit here means heaps of excitement and discovery for visitors of all ages but it also means you’ll be leaving with a souvenir better than a plush harbor seal; a fresh perspective of the vital ocean ecosystem and its inhabitants. Whether it’s seeing the tenacity of the spawning fish on the salmon ladder or marveling at the diversity and quantity of life in the 25,000 gallon Pacific Coral Reef exhibit, you’re sure to come away with an invaluable new respect for marine life.

The sea urchins are fun to play with, it took a couple of hours to get around, lots of beautiful jellyfish, lots of fish that are not usually seen, the huge octopus is lovely
The aquarium itself is a beautiful building with a sea view, the aquarium is also very large, the animals are superb, the kids are most excited to come and the performance is especially wonderful
The Seattle Aquarium extends to the seaside location. The number of creatures in the aquarium is quite large. Many interesting small animals are also very attractive 😂. The city view of Seattle is also quite good. There are many good views here.
It's not a few steps from the Ferris wheel to the aquarium. The Seattle aquarium is also very big in the United States. There are many animals. It is very suitable for bringing children to play. The performance inside is also very exciting.
Here is the thing: I love aquariums, which is why I have been to many of them. This one is definitely the. Best. Aquarium. Ever. You can touch amazing things like starfish and see octopus, seals, otters, jelly fish, incredible and rare fish, swimming birds. Overall amazing. The staff is amazing as well. They will teach you with a passion that cannot be faked. This is a MUST on your visit. Bring your kids cause they will have the time of your life.
The Seattle Aquarium located on the waterfront is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Some of the marine life have been there for 25 years. The otters are adorable and the floor to ceiling glass wall with all the fish swimming is amazing!
great location, lots to do and see on the Seattle waterfront
Cool aquarium...kids enjoyed it. A little pricey for the size though.
This is a sweet little aquarium. I loved the touch pools where I learned that urchins grab things, even fingers, to taste them. It was a little, spikey finger-hug! The outer and seals are really cute. A nice break from a sunny, summer Seattle.
