Explore our unique event spaces
Ocean Pavilion
Step out of the Pacific Northwest and into a warm, bright and vibrant underwater world teeming with life. Discover the wonders of a reef ecosystem in the Coral Triangle—a region in the Indo-Pacific so rich in biodiversity that it’s been called “the Amazon of the ocean!” You’ll come face to face with thousands of animals and plants: sharks, rays, bowmouth guitarfish, schooling fish, mangroves, nearly 30 species of coral and so much more.
Pier 59
The building where it all began! Pier 59, a designated City of Seattle landmark and testament to the central waterfront’s rich and varied history, is home to some of our most popular habitats and experiences.
Pier 60
Located just north of Pier 59 and accessible via a covered walkway, Pier 60 houses some of our most beloved habitats, including Marine Mammals, Birds & Shores and the Underwater Dome. If you’re looking for fun-loving seals and otters or a 360-degree view of familiar local fish, you’re in the right place!
