About
Hurtige fakta: Expect to watch a giant Pacific octopus shift colors and squeeze through tiny gaps, a display of problem-solving that feels almost deliberate. A four-story viewing window frames rockfish and lingcod as they glide past, while touch pools put cold, briny water and spiny sea stars right under your fingers.
Højdepunkter: At diver feedings you can see a keeper swim inside the main exhibit among more than a dozen species, hear muffled bubbles and the soft thud of fish bodies against the viewing glass. A hands-on touch pool asks visitors to limit contact to about 30 seconds per animal, where cool, slightly gritty sea stars and bristly purple urchins give a tactile memory that's surprisingly vivid.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening or during the last hour to avoid peak crowds and get better photo opportunities.
- Carry a light waterproof jacket and comfortable shoes, the waterfront breeze can be cool and floors may be damp.
- Check the daily schedule at the entrance for timed feedings and keeper talks, they are lively and worth planning around.
- Take photos at the large harbor-facing viewing window to minimize reflections, and crouch low for better otter and fish shots.
