Seattle Aquarium Totally Explained

Everything about Seattle Aquarium totally explained

Seattle Aquarium is a public aquarium located on Pier 59 on Seattle, USA's Elliot Bay waterfront. Run by the city, it opened on May 20, 1977. After the closure of Ivar Haglund's Ivar's Aquarium in 1956, the city was at a loss for its major attraction. In 1977, the city opened up its own aquarium, the "'Seattle Aquarium'".
The Seattle Aquarium recently underwent an expansion which opened in June 2007. This expansion increased the Aquarium's size by 18,000 square feet and includes a fresh new exterior, new Alaskan Way entrance and exhibit hall. At the heart of the expansion is the Puget Sound Great Hall, a three story, light-filled building with interactive educational kiosks, sea life art and thought-provoking conservation exhibits focused on Puget Sound’s ecosystems. Visitors are immediately drawn to the end of Puget Sound Hall by the Window on Washington Waters, a 17-foot by 39-foot, 120,000 gallon showcase exhibit evoking Neah Bay’s rock blades filled with salmon, colorful rockfish, vibrant sea anemones and other marine life swimming amid a kelp-filled sea. New visitor amenities include a full-service café and gift store, member entrance, additional ticketing stations and second floor viewing platforms for a three-dimensional look into Window on Washington Waters. A separate school group entrance will provide quick access for the increasing number of students and teachers who visit the Aquarium. The transition hall between the Windows on Washington Water exhibit to the tidal waters of the Life on the Edge exhibit will feature an open 40-foot by 8-foot Wave Tank allowing visitors the opportunity to hear the surging waves and observe how marine animals and plants survive in rough, swirling water.
The Seattle Aquarium became the first institution in the world to raise sea otters from conception to adulthood with the birth of Tichuk in 1979, followed by three more pups in the early eighties.
