Queer Community Days
Celebrate queerness in nature and in our communities!
Join us as we welcome queer and LGBTQIA+ community members to the Aquarium for a month of celebration!
Experience the joy of family friendly Drag Story Time with local drag artists or connect with our talented queer artists-in-residence 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 activities 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.
