We finally made it to the Sealife Center in Seward. They have seals and sea lions swimming in big tanks. You can see them above the water and below the water. This sea lion loved to swim up to the glass and check us out. He would wave his flipper at you once in a while but we didn't see him do it. The sea birds were amazing. These were some tufted puffins. They are fabulous swimmers. We watched them from below the water as they dived way down in search of fish. They would shoot straight up to the surface like rockets.
The center also had king crab, octopus, urchins, all kinds of salmon, jellyfish, sole, halibut, rockfish, hermit crabs, barnacles and the list goes on and on. They even had things that looked like starfish that you could gently touch with a finger in open tanks. They felt squishy. They also have an outdoor viewing platform overlooking Resurrection Bay. We happened to catch sight of a sea otter swimming and eating close to the center.
