💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Don't miss the seal feeding experience - it's the most memorable highlight. Buy food to feed the seals, and look for free coupons in the Pig and Pancake brochure to get one complimentary tray of seal food.
• 💡Plan 1-1.5 hours for your visit. You can rush through in 45 minutes, but allow extra time to read exhibits and interact with staff at touch tanks, who provide knowledgeable facts about the marine life.
• 💡Use street parking instead of the on-site lot, which visitors report is small and difficult to exit. The aquarium is conveniently located downtown, just two blocks from the Seaside Turnaround and easy to walk to.
• 💡Children 5 and under are free admission. Ask about group and field trip rates when visiting with larger groups to significantly reduce per-person costs.
• 💡Interactive touch tanks with starfish and sea anemones are a highlight for all ages. The knowledgeable staff actively engages visitors with educational facts, making these exhibits particularly valuable for learning.
