More than just a tourist stop, the Seattle Aquarium is locally run and deeply involved in marine conservation and education. Interactive tide pools, playful otters, and daily talks by passionate staff make this a favorite for families and a frequent pick in local guides like Seattle Met and Eater. The aquarium’s waterfront location and focus on Pacific Northwest marine life provide a distinctly Seattle experience.
