Exhibits:
The Discovery Center gives visitors an opportunity to use the microscopes to view the aquarium’s tiniest creatures, and their staff members are always available to answer any questions. You can also actually touch sea anemones, sandpaper textured starfish and prickly sea urchins in the “Touch Tank.”
The underwater area displays a fascinating world of unusual sights, rare life forms, and vibrant colors. You will see plant-like animals, crustaceans and fish, which are all part of the amazing and complex Pacific Ocean ecosystem.
How to Get to the Seaside Aquarium:
Seaside is easy to get to. From the north or south, take U.S. Highway 101. The aquarium is at the end of Second Avenue and North Promenade, just two blocks north of the Seaside Turnaround.
