Animals

The Pacific Seas Aquarium is filled with underwater delight. Stare at hammerhead sharks and gaze at green sea turtles. With Pacific Coast habitats from cold Northwest to tropical Baja California, you won’t want to leave.

Exotic and mysterious. Lush and green. The Asian Forest Sanctuary immerses you in a five-acre, eight-habitat oasis of waterfalls, streams and bamboo forest, where animals rotate each day. From tigers to tapirs, otter to elephant, there’s always something magical to discover.

We’ve created a habitat just like the grassy tundra near Point Hope, Alaska – and filled it with massive muskoxen, an Arctic fox and two playful polar bears.

At the newly renovated Rocky Shores, you can explore a far Northwest world where land and ocean meet. Sea lions dive, seals splash, otters play and walruses whistle.

Lemurs, meerkats, reptiles, goats and amphibians. Bring your little ones to meet ours!

Hidden in dappled shade, two bright eyes are looking at you. You stare back. Then their owner ducks and turns, loping easily over fallen logs to settle into the sunshine. Our red wolves aren’t just beautiful — they’re part of an award-winning program that has saved this iconic species from extinction.

Experience our fast-paced animal show or meet a fascinating animal up-close, depending on the time of year. You may meet Tilli the aardvark, Gonzo the tamandua or Siesta the sloth.

Massive sharks. A Blue Hole with divers-eye-view. Cage dives. A tropical lagoon, a stingray cove. The South Pacific Aquarium is an oasis of warm-water marine beauty, with vibrant fish, inspiring sharks and touchable stingrays. Dive in.
Note: Our South Pacific Aquarium is temporarily closed for restoration and repair and will reopen in 2023. Please visit our new Pacific Seas Aquarium to see hammerhead sharks, eagle rays and more.   

Step into a world of lime, aqua and neon yellow, a world of feathers and chirps and excitement! At Budgie Buddies you can have an encounter with these friendly Aussie birds.

Spot our Magellanic penguins cuddled up with their mate or being fed by our keepers. You can visit them at Penguin Point just uphill from the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater.
