Nice outdoor area with birds, otters and seals. Definitely worth the 3 hours.
My family enjoyed it all! I think the best part was the aquarium tubes that allowed you to be right there with the sea life . My wife loved the otters and the jellyfish exhibits .
First time we have seen the sea lions show, they did great! We have been coming for years and this year it just seems that a lot of the exhibits were gone. It was a little disappointing.
Make sure you check out the feeding demonstrations. Very fun to see otters and sea lions when they are being fed.
It's a small aquarium . Probably an hour to complete if you are in hurry. They have some small sharks don't miss them!
Excellent in each aspect, variety of species, very sarisfied!
Fun exhibits , and great touch pools. Very worth the admission.
FYI most of the aquarium is outside so bring your rain gear on rainy days
Enjoyed this place. Small but a lot of interesting things to see.
Would reccommend for anyone. The areas where the fish and sharks swim right over your head is wild!! great fun
I really like this place is so beautiful.
Decent aquarium , but small. Has nice outside exhibits of sea otters , seals, aviary, and turkey vulture. Indoor aquarium has a "petting " area good for kids , but lacks many exhibits . 6/10.
Getting hugs from a sea urchin is great.
An excellent aquarium for parents with small children.
So fun and very interactive!
Great exhibits
Awesome place but use a coupon as its expensive for only 1.5 hrs
Octopus encounters are awesome! They're much smarter than you realize!
You need to spend an entire day in this area.
Book the snorkel adventure! It was amazing!!
Check the paper in the entrance for the feeding times. That's the best time to see the critters active.
Jellyfish display was fun!
Winter hours: 10am to 5pm daily. Summer hours: 9am to 6pm daily. Read more
There's an awesome tunnel to go underneath the piranha tank!
This aquarium is pretty sad.
Although you can see almost all of the aquarium in thirty minutes, I don't recommend it.
The trash sculptures are amazing. People are slobs.
Sea lion kiss!
Watch feeding time
A little overpriced for what is offered.
Love the Otters !!!!1
They don't do the sea otter encounters anymore.
Dance with a sea otter .
Hurry and check out the Oddwater exhibit
Unique pet treats. I found a happy birthday bone for the dog. - Erin Marzwick
Small, nice, clean. Great for older kids that are interested in ocean science. - Heather Bauman
Runs a bit on the expensive side, really only worth admission the first time you visit. If you don't plan on reading anything and just want to walk through cool exhibits, skip it. - Timothy McSwain
The Fish and Chips is my favorite but the Reuben is a close second. Incredible selection of beers to go with all the great food. Super kid friendly too. - Joel Thurston
Restaurant is cozy with view of marina. A great place to linger with friends or on a rainy day. - Sarah Greene
Halibut fish tacos very good. Wasn’t sure about their salad - cabbage and shrimp - but it was very good too. Hubby loves the clam chowder. - P Jacobs
