Beautiful mounts, live fish and crabs, kids can touch a lot of sea life, all you have to do is to sign in.
We happened upon this little gem from the advice of a friend. There did not seem to be a lot of visitors which was nice because we had one on one attention from one of the workers there. She spent a great amount of time with us talking about the variety of animals in their tanks.
A lot of history and information about the town and animals !In walking distance to downtown and local hotels and resturants.
Facility is more a research place so the Aquarium and touch tank, while in good shape, are smalland it will not take much time to visit. Probably a great place to take children since they would love the touch tank. If you are squeezed for time in Kodiak, this would be one visit you could skip. Workers are very knowledgeable.
This is a small but very education aquarium. One of the best touch tanks I've ever experienced. Our group was all adults and everyone who tried it enjoyed it, especially those who came from states that aren't on the ocean. Very informative wall panels. Worth a visit.
Small aquarium with lots of unusual creatures, fish and crustaceans all living together. Knowledgable staff explains the different species. There is also a touch tank with anemones, cucumbers, and other unusual sea life.
My 34 yr old KID was the first to plunge into the touch tank. So, I did too. Great for kids to explore the life of the ocean!
A lot is packed into a small space - so many types of starfish and aquatic life including fish that can be found in the nearby ocean are showcased in a three story aquarium. Very nicely done.
A nice quiet place to interact with sea life and learn about the ocean habitat. Also get to read studies conducted by NOAA.
Small but interesting with many varieties of local fish. Easy to view them in the tank and you can pick some of them up if you choose. The views from the building are gorgeous
