Alaska SeaLife Center

The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward, Alaska, is a world-class marine research, education, and wildlife rehabilitation facility offering visitors rare encounters with the remarkable wildlife of the Arctic and subarctic seas. Live exhibits feature harbor seals, Steller sea lions, tufted and horned puffins, and giant Pacific octopuses, while interactive experiences and guided tours bring the science of ocean ecosystems to life for guests of all ages. The center operates one of Alaska's primary marine animal rescue and rehabilitation programs, responding to stranded wildlife throughout the state. Active research initiatives study species including Steller sea lions, harbor seals, and walruses, and a live webcam stream of the Chiswell Island Steller sea lion rookery extends the center's reach beyond its walls. Educational camps, special animal encounters, and family programming make the Alaska SeaLife Center both an accessible visitor attraction and a vital working research institution.
