Why you should go…

The Alaska SeaLife Center is a public aquarium, research facility and marine mammal rehabilitation center on the shore of Resurrection Bay. You can watch Steller sea lions and harbor seals in the Rocky Coast exhibit, stand by a two-story diving pool in the seabird aviary, and handle sea stars and urchins at the touch tanks. It opened in 1998, funded in large part by Exxon Valdez oil spill settlement money. Paid encounters with marine mammals, puffins and an octopus are also offered.
