Animals

The Pacific Seas Aquarium is filled with underwater delight. Stare at hammerhead sharks, 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 and a playful Arctic fox.

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

Lemurs, meerkats, reptiles, goats and amphibians. Bring your littl’uns to get up close to 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.

At the Discovery Hut, meet a wild wonder up-close and learn fun facts about how they live and what makes them unique. The animals vary depending on the day, you may encounter a tamandua, beavers, an aardvark, a sloth, or perhaps you will meet a radiated tortoise named Jumbo Jet.

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 closed for restoration and repair and will reopen in 2023. Please visit our new Pacific Seas Aquarium to see ocean animals and experience ocean awe and wonder.  

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 theater.
