Keiko the killer whale is gone, but there is still a lot to see here. Aquariums house all kinds of aquatic life, from sharks to sea lions, and there are usually temporary exhibits as well. Located on the Pacific coast about two hours from Portland, the aquarium is an underwater zoo. A visit involves a lot of walking, but wheelchairs can be rented.

Small and disappointing
This aquarium is very small and not very interesting. It is should be by-passed.
Old and over priced
This aquarium is old and tired. The exhibits have not changed in years. The current exhibits show lack of design and value.
