Located on the Seattle Waterfront, the Seattle Aquarium is a kid favorite. From the giant aquarium that greets you as you enter to the interactive tidal pool areas, the aquarium is designed for exploring and understanding the waters around us. This is a very kid friendly aquarium, so the little ones are encouraged to explore and ask questions. We've always found the staff here to be very friendly and willing to take time with each child. And for us the most special area is the outdoors portion where you can watch seals and otters play.
