Great aquarium

(Rating: 3) by Kevin on October 19, 2008

We are members of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so we're kind of spoiled in this department, but I have to say that the Seattle Aquarium is really excellent with tons of interactive exhibits, lots of variety of animals, and an awesome location right on Puget Sound.
