The Aquarium, opened in 1977, is located on Seattle's waterfront, at Pier 59. In the same building as the aquarium, there is a gift shop, a cafe, and a panoramic cinema.
The aquarium consists of several thematic pools where you can admire the inhabitants of the underwater world, and in some places touch colorful sea creatures with your hands:
A 95,000-liter pool with a Pacific coral reef and its inherent flora and fauna; Rumble of the Waves Wave Pool, recreating the coastal zone of Lake Washington to a depth of 1.5 meters; Swimming pool "Marine Mammals" with seals, seals and otters; The 450,000-liter "Window on the Waters of Washington" pool, recreating the coastal zone of Lake Washington at depths from 1.5 meters to 18 meters. Several times a day, a special underwater show with the participation of divers takes place here; And others.
Children love to watch the giant Pacific octopus that lives in a large transparent tank, where many fish, including eels, also swim.
