The outdoor exhibits at this aquarium (sea otter, seal/sea lion, sea bird aviary) are all hugely impressive. Often sea otters are cited as rare animals to see but I get an opportunity to watch sea otters all the time, as in my neck of the woods there are 5 places (Vancouver Aquarium, Seattle Aquarium, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Oregon Zoo, Point Defiance Zoo) that have them in captivity. This particular exhibit is perhaps the second best I've seen for the species, after the one in "Russia's Grizzly Coast" at the excellent Minnesota Zoo.
