Fall thru on a weekend between 11am and 4ish pm for some awesome hands on exhibits, live marine life and informative chats with interpreters. A must see if youre in the OLY/TAC area

Okay space with knowledgeable staff and some activities for kids. Dont plan on spending a lot of time here. 2 rooms and minimal aquarium space.

Small facility but volunteers are highly educated about what there is. Their events are really where they shine, with Pier Peers out on Boston harbor, and meet the beach events letting kids get hands on with wildlife and learning.

Very small. Not much to see. The staff was nice and informative. The presentation was dull. Lost kids attention ...

The staff is wonderful. Its a very small setting with some great information, and they really do great things for our ocean and beaches.But the drug addicts and vagrants that surrounded the Olympia downtown business is horrible. Doesnt feel like a safe at all.

Saltwater tanks and Estuary education! A wonderful place for children and scientist of all ages too. Look for the Discovery Speaker Talks during the fall/winter for additional Puget Sound Science Education at LOTT.

What a special place! Ive been to aquariums before, but the Estuarium teaches about all the unique things that happen where fresh water meets the sea. Its a small, community run science and education center. They have two two hundred gallon saltwater tanks with colorful sea anemones, sea stars, the feistiest crabs Ive ever met, and a family of pipe fish--the local relatives of sea horses who spend their lives swimming vertically. There are lots of other activities and displays for all ages, from coloring sheets to a squid in a jar, to microscopes where you can watch live plankton.The Estuarium is headquarters for the SSEAs many education programs that happen out at Boston Harbor (Pier Peer) and at local beaches throughout the summer. If youre in Olympia on the weekend, the Estuarium is worth a visit.

Very small, and not really an aquarium, but educational. The staff was very knowledgeable and was even able to identify a fish i had seen while scuba diving based on my very vague description.
