Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium Gate 6

Wonderful flower garden. Amazing animals. Great aquariums. Worth the price of admission.

Good clean environment, very friendly and informative staff.

Absolutely love this place! Great place to go friends, go on a date, whatever!

The Zoo and Aquarium is excellent for Washington State. But this time me and two other friends where here for the Shark Cage Dive program. First off you get a discount if you are a member of the Aquarium and also if you schedule a dive during the weekday. Thus weekends are regular price. The price of the dive includes admission as well. Which worked out because after the fact, we checked the new sea life building that has been finished for a little while now :) It was amazing. extra nice because there where only employees in the building. that was in the afternoon on a Friday. Back to the Shark Dive...you meet outside the sting ray exhibit. they check your id and collect your forms you are to fill out before hand, for emergency contact, allergies or conditions ect. ( I recommend you bring clothes to change into, most likely you will get wet even in the diving suits. Then they take you to a particular room above the Shark Tank. where you will go over facts and what is going to take place to get into the tank. The people that where teaching and helping us, have such a love for the sharks. It was that much more enjoyable because of that :) Don't hesitate! Schedule a scuba dive, if your certified, or a cage dive right now! I 200% recommend this experience. Have fun!
