The Ocean Pavilion — adjacent and just to the east of the current Seattle Aquarium — will create new public space and increase accessibility between Pike Place Market and the waterfront by connecting to Seattle’s new Overlook Walk.

The Ocean Pavilion’s public plaza will provide a view into its largest habitat, so anyone who passes through the park can witness a reef ecosystem without purchasing a ticket. In the public plaza, you’ll encounter Aquarium staff and volunteers sharing knowledge. And you’ll discover public art created by and honoring the Coast Salish people on whose traditional and contemporary territories the Aquarium resides.
