Seattle Aquarium
Nonprofit Aquarium committed to Earth’s one ocean. Proudly accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Our mission, Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment, is reflected in everything we do, including our staff’s outstanding animal care work, our public programs centered on conservation education, research activities, policy and advocacy work, and more.
Located on Seattle’s historic central waterfront, the Seattle Aquarium is made up of three buildings: Piers 59 and 60 and the Ocean Pavilion, our newest expansion with a focus on the Coral Triangle—a region of the Indo-Pacific that’s rich in biodiversity. Together, our campus tells a powerful story about Earth’s connected waters and how, together, we can protect our marine environment from our beloved Salish Sea to across the Pacific in the Coral Triangle.
