The Alaska Sealife Center is a $56-million-dollar facility funded in part by the Exxon Valdez settlement, dedicated to understanding and maintaining the integrity of Alaska's marine ecosystem through research and rehabilitation. Experience a world of wonder where sandfish flutter across the ocean floor and jellyfish drift with the changing current. Interactive exhibits and displays allow you to come face to face with Steller sea lions, a chorus of seabirds, and to hold a living starfish. Artistically designed habitats mirror the natural surroundings of Resurrection Bay, which is located just outside the center.
