Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion

“Approaching the Ocean Pavilion, the newest addition to the Seattle Aquarium on the city’s developing waterfront, one is immediately compelled to look up. Here, in the covered plaza at the pavilion’s front door, visitors are granted a view inside the building’s largest marine habitat, the Reef, without having to walk inside and without paying the price of admission. Through the round, curved acrylic oculus overhead, passersby are granted views of spotted eagle rays, leopard sharks, and brightly colored fish as they swim by.”
