The Johnson family’s day at the waterfront

A joyous and tight-knit family

Follow along as we make it a day on the Seattle Waterfront. It’s time for some family fun!

1: Seattle Aquarium

Our favorite spots are Window on Washington Waters and Caring Cove, a play space where kids can learn about animal care.

2: Lunchtime: Ivar’s Fish Bar

The food here is a hit for both parents and kids every time. You can’t go wrong with a fresh basket of fish and chips.

3: The Great Wheel

This Seattle classic is known for its dazzling views of Elliott Bay. Plus, there’s stroller parking.

4: Aquarium Café for gelato

The Seattle Aquarium has Nutty Squirrel Gelato now! Creamy and flavorful, it’s the best sweet treat on the waterfront. They even have vegan options. P.S. The Aquarium allows same-day reentry. Make sure to get a hand stamp before you head out!
