We are flying to Seattle at the end of August and are doing a loop from Seattle, over to Olympic NP, up to Victoria, BC, then down to Vancouver, BC. From what I've read, both of the above aquariums are first rate. For those who have been to both, if you had to choose one over the other, which one would you choose and why? Or, for those who have been to either, is there a particular exhibit that stands out? Thanks!

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

We preferred Vancouver. Seattle is far smaller. The best aquarium on the left coast is Monterrey Bay Aquarium.

If going to only one go to Vancouver

That's about how I remember them as well, Vancouver's seems to have been larger. But it has been many years since we were at them. As well as several years between them.

If you like amusement I found it laughable funny there is a Fish and Chips outside the Aquarium.

LOL! It's like being at the Living Seas in Epcot (which I think has been replaced now) and watching the big fish tank-while you eat fish!

I caught the irony in that too when we were down there. :B
