User Reviews for Oregon Coast Aquarium

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The gardens are well kept, the staff are well informed as well as super friendly and the exhibits are awesome. Personally I think the best exhibit is the underwater shark tank where there are different types of sharks swimming all around you, really a phenominal experience.

Pros: ample parking, friendly staff, great exhibits

Cons: none

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Hands down the best aquarium in the Northwest. The grounds are lovely, the facilities are huge, the tanks are bright and clean, and the variety of creatures is astounding! Besides gorgeous tropical fish, there are many tanks full of interesting sea horese, skates, crocodiles and jellyfish, a hands-on tidepool area for the little ones (or the kids at heart), THREE walkthrough aquariums (one is full of rays and sharks). Outside there is a large red octopus, playful sea otters, seals and sea lions, an aviary full of puffins and other diving birds and a butterfly garden that must be beautiful in the spring. I was extremely impressed with this aquarium and will come back every time I visit the Oregon coast!

Pros: Very large facility, Beautiful tanks, Very informative

Cons: none!
