Another wonderful place to learn about the wonders of the underwater world, the Seattle Aquarium can be found right on the waterfront in downtown Seattle. There are plenty of different exhibits to explore, many of which are dedicated to the marine life of Puget Sound and the Washington coast, and there are several tide pool touch zones.

The aquarium also offers daily encounter programs with octopuses and marine mammals like seals and otters, and on the weekends, there are diver shows as well. The aquarium is open seven days a week, and both one- and two-day admission passes are available.
