Events

There are more than 50 Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalist volunteers to help people learn about and enjoy local shorelines. Beach naturalists can help you enjoy the habitat without harming it; tell you what sea stars eat; explain why barnacles stand on their heads; describe how moon snails lay their eggs; and so much more. Come explore the beach at low tide with us! 

Sit down, settle in and prepare to enjoy an ocean-themed story read out loud by one of our interpreters. Ideal for younger children.

Come learn more about our marine mammals during our daily talks and feedings! Mammal feedings rotate daily.

Witness one of our daily feeding attempts and learn more about this amazing creature—the giant Pacific octopus!

Adults take over the Seattle Aquarium for this 21+ event featuring animal experiences, music, a cash bar and more.

Divers take to the water three times a day in this exhibit. Wearing specialized masks, they are able to talk back and forth with Aquarium interpreters on the outside of the exhibit, and answer questions from the audience.

What do salmon need to thrive? Why is clean and cold water so important to their survival? Discover how you can help to keep these special creatures coming back to the river where they were born. See the salmon migration and learn about the epic journey that takes place every year as salmon swim from the ocean, through the Ballard Locks, into Lake Washington, and up the river to spawn.
