Quite nice
There was an extensive collection of coral reef, otters and sea lions. If we come back to Seattle again, we'll probably visit again.

Great experience
We enjoyed all the different rooms and displays. Just when I thought it was over, there was another room to come!

First and last trip was last summer
A very expensive version of a tiny zoo. I understand Washington is special with our species of sea life and vegitation, but we are also interested in OTHER sea life as well. It was so expensive for such a small walk around. Thankfully the piers gave us something to do for the rest of the day, because this aquarium didn't put out.

Enjoyable. Just wish it wasn't so crowded.
As a local, I've visited the Seattle Aquarium about 3 or 4 times. It's not special, and the exhibits are certainly not impressive, but it is nonetheless a good experience if you just wish to see and learn about a few of the inhabitants of Puget Sound. If not for the seals and otters, the touch pools, and the (crowded) underwater dome, a trip to a local marine pet store would provide the same satisfying experience and save you $16.00 per person.

People from Seattle are full of it.
I just moved here from the Bay Area and after seeing other aquariums I would rather have tourists save their cash for real aquariums.

Visited in August 2008
I brought eight-year-old boys and had a great time. I do wish they offered more information about the exhibits in the wall text--in fact the place seems far less scientific than the Monterey Aquarium--but we met two staff members on the ground floor who spent more than 15 minutes each with me and my kids educating us on sea stars and sea anemones. They were wonderful and we all learned a great deal. Also the cafe has great views.

Kid friendly, but not a lot for adults
There were a lot of unique features that would bedazzle young children, but as an adult touring without kids, the aquarium didn't have too much to offer. Some insight into local birds and sea animals, but nothing spectacular to speak of.

Seriously? To all those disgruntled reviewers, what the heck were you expecting?

IT'S A SHAME FOR THIS CITY
that aquarium was impossible FOR VISITING. Free to be, i swear i won't come back there anymore. I think that the aquarium's staff do not have common sense to take so much money for nothing.
