Oregon Coast Aquarium

Oregon Coast Aquarium

Delight in the playful antics of sea otters, harbor seals and sea lions. Watch tufted puffins frolic on the cliffs as you walk through the rocky pools of the Northwest’s largest outdoor seabird aviary. Immerse yourself in Passages of the Deep, a 200-foot clear undersea tunnel snaking its way through three ocean habitats. Come face-to-face with mysterious sharks, bat rays and more swimming just inches from you. Mesmerizing jellies, a giant Pacific octopus, a touch-pool and special exhibits add to the adventure. This central coast attraction, dedicated to preserving the Oregon Coast and its inhabitants, is must-see. Rated a top 10 aquarium by Coastal Living and USA Today.
