Last weekend, we went and visited Seattle Aquarium. We were all excited for the new renovated aquarium. It was a such a fun family outing.

π New Aquarium Building


The Seattle Aquarium now has two buildings β the newly built one and the original space.
The moment we walked into the new building, we were greeted by a massive floor-to-ceiling tank filled with sea creatures. It was dramatic, beautiful, and honestly breathtaking.
On the second floor, I loved the ergonomic and immersive tank design in the center of the space. There were three big tropical tanks filled with colorful fish and coral-like decorations. The height was perfect for kids β short enough that Leo could watch everything without being held.
Behind the main wall, there was another giant tank with sharks swimming peacefully. The shark would glide past the window and βsurpriseβ all the little kids sitting in front of it. Leo kept squealing every time it came close. It was very cool to see a shark that close.
There was also a small play area for kids with sea-creature toys and educational displays. Leo sat there for a long time, totally focused.

π Original Aquarium Building


After exploring the new building, we headed over to the old one β Iβve been there before, so I had an idea of what to expect.
Leoβs favorite, of course, was the touch tide pools, where kids can touch starfish, sea urchins, and ν΄μΌ. He climbed up and leaned forward so excitedly, saying βλ! λ!β every time he touched something. It was adorable.


Our favorite was the giant octopus. It was huge β Iβve never seen an octopus that big in my life. Watching it move slowly with its long eight legs and massive suction cups was mesmerizing. Leo got a little scared and ran away, which honestly made us laugh. π
The first building also had more marine mammals. We watched a giant seal swimming gracefully and some adorable sea otters enjoying their lunch. They were eating big scallops and begging for more β so cute.
The highlight was the river otter, swimming energetically and coming right up to the glass as if saying hello.

π Gift Shop
Of course, we had to stop by the gift shop before leaving.
We bought a set of colorful ocean-themed bath toys for Leo, and he loved pointing out each animal he saw earlier in the aquarium.

π½ Lunch at Pike Place
Since the aquarium is located right below Pike Place Market, there are so many food options.
We went to Mr. Fish, a Fish & Chips place, and everything was delicious β very crispy, very flavorfulβ¦ and also very salty π But overall, we enjoyed it.

Le Panier:

After lunch, we walked through Pike Place Market and stopped by the famous French bakery Le Panier, since there was almost no line. We bought several pastries β their pistachio Γ©clair is popular, but my husband loves the lemon tart.

On our way home, the weather was gray and chilly, and we all felt sleepy and cozy after a full day of exploring. But spending this kind of day together β walking, eating, discovering new things β made me so happy.
Next time, weβre planning to come back with Leoβs friends too!
