Oceanarium Reimagined

Discover the reimagined Oceanarium. Your favorite animals — plus new ones. The Pacific Northwest coast — expanded. And just for kids, Polar Play Zone, where little imaginations can run wild — and grow.

More than ever, the Oceanarium immerses you in the vibrant coastal ecosystem of beluga whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins, sea otters and sea lions. You’ll also find a host of fishes and invertebrates that make their homes where freshwater flows into the ocean or where tides turn seascapes to landscapes and back again each day. Use our self-guided map to discover how animals are linked to each other, their homes and you.
