Queer Community Days

A white wave shape.
June 2026

Queer Community Days

Celebrate queerness in nature and in our communities!

Join us as we welcome queer and LGBTQ community members to the Aquarium for a month of celebration!

Experience the joy of Drag Story Time with local drag artists every Sunday in June. See below for a full schedule.

Be sure to swing by the café for special menu items.

Bring your little ones to enjoy special activites at Toddler Time: Happy Pride on May 31 and June 1.

This event is open to all members of queer and LGBTQIA+ communities and those eager to learn more. Queerness is part of nature and something to be celebrated. Like water, humans are fluid, expressive and boundary defying. Biodiversity strengthens ecosystems, just like human diversity strengthens communities!

We’re working to build a more welcoming and accessible space in marine conservation. Complimentary admission tickets are available for certain days during Pride Month through the Seattle Aquarium Connections program. To learn about available discounts, please visit our discounts and group rates page.

GiveBIG to conservation in action.

This year, we’ve set a GiveBIG goal of $70,000, and thanks to the generous support of Al & Pat Friedrich, Clint & Barb Bennett, Marshall & Janice Brumer, Michael Klein & Catherine Melfi, and an anonymous donor, every gift will be matched up to $30,000, doubling your impact.

Join us for After Hours: New Beginnings on Thursday, April 16, to celebrate spring and all the wonderful changes that come with it.

Today only, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 thanks to the generosity of donors Betsy Cadwallader, J & Tim, and Jess & Andy Peet. Help us reach our $50,000 goal!

End the year with a gift to the ocean.
