Although not as big as some of the major aquariums around the world, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is a great place to visit. The only fault I can note in the former home of Keiko the whale is that it is relatively expensive, especially if over the age of 12 or 13. There are various indoor displays including jellyfish and exhibits like "open ocean." There is a place to touch starfish and anemones too, which is popular with people of all ages. The most popular area is perhaps the acrylic enclosed hallway which allows visitors to walk through a tunnel surrounded by swimming sharks, sting rays, and other fish. The outdoor area includes a sea otter area as well as a giant octopus. This place is great for people of all ages, and educational too. The only downfall is the cost!
