The Oregon Coast Aquarium is a great place to take the kids for the
day. We always try to go whenever we go to the coast. It was really
neat when they had Keiko, the observation area was really neat.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium is truly a world-class place. The exhibits
are wonderful and informative. The shark tunnel is a real event. The
kids can spend hours, yes hours, watching the sharks.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium has its big, showy celebrities: the
seven-gill sharks that roam the Passages of the Deep, for example, or
the graceful, gigantic sea lions that zoom past the subsurface window.
Humans are fascinated by these predators, as well we should be.
