"If you are anything like us, zoos and animal parks tend to make you cringe. So we tread lightly when it comes to supporting a place like this in the city. BUT… By all accounts, Seattle Aquarium’s mission is different, and it comes through when you visit. They inspire conservation, and focus on educating kids and adults on preserving marine environments, and have knowledgable staff at nearly every exhibit. The design of the space is well thought out, with a beautiful 360 degree domed viewing area, giant aquatic worlds and colors hidden in dark tunnels. You will be wow’d, but be prepared to drop $18 per ticket." - Parker
"Located on Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington, this aquarium focuses on interactive education and recently opened the Ocean Pavilion to inspire deeper connections with the ocean." - Travel + Leisure Staff
