Asian American Pacific Islander Community Days

Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at the Seattle Aquarium! Join us for special programming, a scavenger hunt and more throughout May.

We’ll have special talks on Wednesdays and Sundays related to AAPI communities and marine conservation. Come chat with an Aquarium scientist and learn more about careers in science at the Discovery Lab every Sunday in May from 11:30am–1:30pm.

Be sure to bring your little ones too! We’ll have special activities to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month during Toddler Time on May 17 and 18. Check out the Toddler Time page for more details.

This event is open to all members of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and those eager to learn more.
