 under the sea by Jonathan_C
As always, you'll enjoy the aquarium most if you've done some homework. Before coming to Seattle you should definitely read a book on the natural history of Puget Sound. The deep, cold waters of the sound, combined with our temperate rainforest climate create a unique environment worthy of study and protection. Seattle's long history of fishing and environmentalism make us the perfect place for an aquarium along the lines of the great Monterey Bay Aquarium with an entirely local focus. Unfortunately, we don't yet have an angel like the Packard family to make this dream a reality. So come to the aquarium with only moderate expectations: the interpretation of exhibits is not the best. But the animals are still there for you to get aquainted with.
Admission is $11. Leave a Comment

 Fish at the aquarium, on ice,
just kidding by VenturingnowLeave a Comment Address: 1483 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98101Phone: (206)386-4300Directions: The Aquarium is actually located on a pier on the Seattle waterfront, it's pier 59.Website: http://www.seattleaquarium.org/

The Seattle Aquarium is very interesting because they show different kinds of aquatic animals at a certain particular day. They have "Special for the Day" kind of. This week, they are showing different kinds of Octopuses- from the smallest to the biggest. There are also different colors of octuposes. Address: Alaskan Way, SeattleDirections: The Seattle Aquarium is located close to the waterfront, adjacent to Pier 57 and the Argosy Cruises. You can't miss it if you go down from the Pike Place Market close to the water.

This zoo is amazing - not the cruel type of zoo where animals are left in sterile cages, but 92 acres of parkland divided up into several geographic zones - everything from exotic Asian rainforest, a Thai elephant forest, and African savanna and a rugged northern region. You'll find all kinds of animals - apes, tapirs, lions, giraffes, zebras, snakes, gorillas, elephants, frogs, birds, otters, mountain goats, wolves, bears and more!

 Seattle Aquarium by jamiesno
Unfortunately for me it closes at 5:00 pm in May and with my around the clock schedule the doors where all locked when I got there.
So that is my only tip go there earlier! On the web site you'll see it does look like a nice facility. Leave a Comment

 Feeding Time by Johnscarroll
The Aquarium is located at the midpoint of Seattle's tourist oriented waterfront - on the west edge of downtown.
The aquarium is small compared with the likes of Monteray and San Diego - but I like it none the less.
There is a great underwater viewing dome, a fascinating trip through a Salmon's life cycle, and dozens of beautiful aquariums. Don't miss the octopi exhibits. Puget Sound is home to the largest Octopi in the world.
Further to the north is the Woodland Park Zoo. Again, it is small but well done. I grew up in San Diego - so I know what a good zoo is like. This is a good zoo, just on a small scale. All the exhibits are in natural settings. The admission price is reasonable, and parking is usually easy. If you are traveling with kids, these are great places to see. Leave a Comment Address: 50th & Phinney or the Central WaterfrontDirections: Take Aurora north and exit at Greenlake. Turn under the highway and the Zoo will be on your right at the top of the hill. The Aquarium is on Alaskan way next to Waterfront Park. Park under the viaduct or in a nearby lot/garage.
