Seattle Aquarium Holiday Gift Guide

Sea-son’s greetings! The Seattle Aquarium has something for everyone on your list.

This year we asked some of our feathered, finned and/or flippered friends for their gift recommendations. And after we explained that raw fish and clams don’t make great presents for humans, they had some wonderful suggestions!

During the holiday season, you can visit our gift shops without an Aquarium ticket. Inquire at the front desk at Pier 59 or the Ocean Pavilion for more information. For an even easier shopping experience, check out our online store!

Remember, when you buy a present from the Aquarium, purchase a membership or make a donation, you support our mission of Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment.
