Review:
Seaside Aquarium, which opened its doors in 1937, is one of the West Coast's oldest aquariums. The 1924 building that houses the facility is a treasure in itself, as it maintains its classic look with antique signs and siding. Inside, Seaside Aquarium has many different tanks with crawlers and swimmers from the Pacific Ocean ecosystem. Underwater tanks provide a glimpse into the lives of such ocean dwellers as the sunflower star, nudibranch, and Giant Pacific Octopus.
The touch tank and discovery center provide more interactive experiences in which visitors can actually touch live sea creatures and see microorganisms through microscopes. But the highlight of Seaside Aquarium is its seal family, a group of over ten fun-loving, friendly harbor seals who love attention.
