Wow if you have kids or just love seeing whats out in the bay you have to go check this out! It is AMAZING!! My 7 year old son had a blast and I must say I really enjoyed it. At first I thought the admission was a little high but at the end of the tour, it was well worth it. Highly recommend!

A fun and interesting place to visit while in Seward, AK especially if you are traveling with a group. Our group got a private class from an expert on lives of the various kinds of puffins living in the area. Puffins are so cute that everyone wants one and at the SeaLife Center you get a chance to get up front and personal with these amazing birds (don’t touch of course). Here is an excellent opportunity to get close to puffins for pictures and to observe their behaviors. Of course there are many other birds, mammals and fish to observe.

I have to say this is a must see place in Seward. I highly recommend the " feed the puffin's experience" , it was absolutely amazing! This place has amazing views and was really close to the local shops and restaurants. Even if you cannot do the puffin experience, they have other amazing animals for you to see, we were even able to spot a bald eagle right outside the building. Thank you very much to all the helpful and knowledgeable staff there.

It was a nice visit but pretty average as small aquariums go. We would have liked to see more staff interaction with some of the exhibits or explaining in person more about the specific mammals especially. Outside exhibition viewing areas for the seals wtc were very small. The starfish petting area was really neat. Gift shop was well stocked and had some unique things. I guess being in AK with so much fish and sealife we expected a little more. Perhaps some movies? Some staff interaction with guests and definitely they need to have labels on each tank on the front below the glass with a photo of the fish so you know what you are looking at! Just a typed list of fish does nothing for the lay person. Some tanks had a rotating LED signboard listing the fish, but if a visitor was standing near it, none of the other 15 or so guests could see it. We felt the admission price is high for what you get. Additional fees are charged for other "experiences" which normally are a free with your admission to aquariums we have been to in the lower 48. We would not plan to visit again.

Enjoyed a nice afternoon at this aquarium with my family. The animals and displays were awesome and informative. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Parking is along the streets nearby and in an adjacent parking lot. Campground nearby.

We absolutely love the Alaska SeaLife Center. My kids have so much fun every visit, and I get to learn something new each time as well. I love that there is no rush to get through every area. We often have to take breaks for snacks or a bathroom trip and it's always really easy to exit to the lobby for these delightful childhood divergences. There is a good mix of play- oriented, hands-on, live animals, and more in-depth displays throughout. It's a great size for kids. They can (usually) get through the whole center in an hour or two with feeling overwhelmed or rushed.

We greatly enjoyed our experience at the SeaLife Center. It isn't a big place, but there is plenty to look at and experience. They have an absolutely wonderful touch tank as well.

The staff was very helpful and informative. The touchable sea life was interesting. Watching the puffins getting fed was cute. Extremely kid-friendly attraction.
