Centro de Vida Marina de Alaska

Experiencia fantástica: Great opportunity to see rescued Alaskan wildlife.

Experiencia fantástica: The Sea Life Center is a place of education, research and rehabilitation. It has the typical displays of aquatic animals, but it is geared towards educating the public about marine life and its importance. We spent about an hour and a half. My grandson loved the touch tanks and the staff was there to answer questions. The seals and sea lions are always entertaining. The amount of rehabilitating animals there is impressive. A wonderful facility in a small town.

Experiencia fantástica: We visited Anchorage in June, 2025 to participate in the Mayor’s Solstice Classic. We had a free day and decided to drive over 200 miles round trip out to Seward to the Sea Life Center. The amazing scenery along the way and the Highliner restaurant in Seward added to our awesome visit to this incredible Sea Life Center. Worth every mile and we actually saw a Mama Moose with babies, and a playful Mama Mountain Dall sheep and babies along our way.

Experiencia fantástica: I love coming here every time we are in Seward. It's spendy but remember you are helping with research and taking care out our sea life fe.

Experiencia positiva: We first saw the SeaLife center on Alaska animal rescue on Disney+. We were excited to visit. It was fun to see some of the animals from the show in person. The touch pools were so awesome, we spent lots of time there. Otherwise it was smaller than we thought and the price was a bit high since we were done in 1.5 hours. I appreciate their purpose though and enjoyed our visit overall.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a fun way to spend about 90 minutes of our day! We went in the afternoon around 4pm when it was much less busy than earlier in the day. What was great about going at this time is that at 5pm we got to see the puffins being fed! This was awesome especially because this was one of the animals we were most excited to see. We were told the lower underwater viewing of the feeding was the place to be. It didn't disappoint because we got to see lots of puffin action when they would dive for their food. Overall, a great way to spend some time in Seward. Very well put together SeaLife Center!

Experiencia fantástica: We recently visited the Seward SeaLife Center as a group of four, and we had a blast! The exhibits showcased a fantastic variety of marine life from Alaska, and it was so much fun to see the sea otters swimming around and the puffins up close. The highlight for all of us was definitely the interactive exhibits. We learned a lot from the friendly staff, who were more than happy to share interesting tidbits about the animals. The layout made it easy to explore together, and we enjoyed taking our time at each exhibit. While a couple of exhibits felt a bit smaller than expected, it didn’t take away from our experience. We left feeling inspired and with plenty of great photos! Definitely recommend it as a fun outing if you’re in Seward!

Experiencia fantástica: Sweetest day trip for kids.

Experiencia fantástica: We had been on a wilderness boat tour couple days before. Now to see these animals here, up close and in their human built natural habitat was inspiring. Love the research, hands on learning, rescue. I was here 21 yrs ago with my kids- still going strong! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Great way to spend an afternoon- loved viewing the animals and the staff were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: The Alaska Sea Life Center is worth the trip. My favorite thing is the aviary and the touch tanks.

Experiencia fantástica: Exceeded our expectations. We got to see the salmon being fed as well as the sea lion being fed. Our group of adults enjoyed ourselves like kids and learned a lot.

Experiencia positiva: This aquarium is on the small side and is quite pricey for the size. However, they feature multiple different animals, such as harbor seals, sea lions, jellyfish, etc. This aquarium also has a touch pool, with many different animals. For tickets, the price varies by hour. If you have time while in Seward, this aquarium is a nice place to spend an hour or two.

Experiencia positiva: Wasn’t my favorite aquarium. Takes about an hour. I would have rather spent my money on something else. A disappointment for the price.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely spectacular!!! It was a bit crowded when we visited, but the tickets were timed so I imagine that helps with the crowd. We saw so many incredible creatures and learned a lot. We found the staff friendly and knowledgeable. They loved sharing facts about the animals in their care.

Experiencia fantástica: Highlight for me was watching puffins SWIM IN THE WATER TANKS. So cool. Also enjoyed the seals and cute little giftshop. Lots to offer for folks of any age!

Experiencia fantástica: I love visiting the aquarium not just because of the fascinating marine animals, but because it tells a much deeper story—one that’s rooted in Alaska’s history, its connection to the sea, and its ongoing commitment to protecting the natural world. The aquarium is like a living museum. It showcases the incredible biodiversity of Alaska’s waters, from sea otters and puffins to the mysterious deep-sea creatures. But what truly makes it meaningful to me is the role it plays in conservation and education. Many of the animals there have been rescued—injured, stranded, or orphaned—and the aquarium provides them with a second chance at life. Knowing that some of these animals wouldn’t have survived in the wild makes each encounter feel more significant. The exhibits don’t just show animals—they tell the story of how the ocean has shaped life in Alaska for generations.

Experiencia fantástica: I loved my visit to the SeaLife Center! These animals are very taken care of and it was such a fun experience. I especially loved the sea lions and seals!

Experiencia fantástica: There was a wide variety of aquatic life! It was fun and the employees are a wealth of information.

Experiencia positiva: Great place to take the kids and experience the sea life. Only frustration for me was the price. It was a bit high for what you get. Loved the seals and sea lions, though.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a pleasure to visit and see all the animals there!!! Friendly and helpful staff! If you live within driving distance, do yourself a favor and get the yearly membership!!! It’s more than worth it!!!

Experiencia positiva: This place is fantastic for the whole family, with an amazing bird exhibit that truly stands out. I did deduct one star for the Marine Mammal Encounter, as it didn't offer much interaction and felt like a huge letdown. However, the rest of the exhibits are wonderful and you can easily spend hours enjoying them.

Experiencia fantástica: Worth the drive from Anchorage. All the employees were so nice, engaged, and happy doing their job. The sea life was great, entertaining, and appeared well cared for.

Experiencia fantástica: Learning about the types of ducks, stellar the sea lion swimming in rounds, touching sea anemone, shrimps etc is worth your time. Appreciating sealife, the Lake and Mountain view is what highlights Seward.

Experiencia fantástica: On a whim my husband and I decided to make a trip from Anchorage to see the sea life center for a fun winter date. It was really nice coming in winter because it wasn't busy, we were able to take our time looking at all the critters. So many cool invertebrates, fish, birds, and even seals and sea lions. I really liked the hallway with the brittle and basket stars, and all the tanks with different sized young salmon. And all the flounder! So fun to watch how they swim, they were much more active than I would have expected. It took us about an hour and a half to go through. The only bummer is that all the lights were off inside the hospital area so we couldn't see inside through the viewing window, we were curious about the rehabilitation part but there wasn't much to view or read about that part of the sea life center. They did have some free seafood recipe pamphlets from the Alaska Seafood Institute too which was neat. They also had 3 different activity stations set up for kids so if you're looking for a fun activity for the family this would be a great place!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely loved it - great facility and staff and unique native animals

Experiencia fantástica: We visited in October on our honeymoon and enjoyed a bit more free space at about noon. This was a very nice aquatic center, with plenty of exabits to look at for several hours. The general areas and bathrooms were well cleaned. The gift shop was big and had a nice variety of merch to support the cause. Hope to be back one day!

Experiencia fantástica: An absolute gem! This is an incredible place to get up close and personal with some amazing wildlife. The touch pools are a must!

Experiencia fantástica: Good sized aquarium with some really cool animals!

Experiencia fantástica: This is an excellent place to take the little ones! There’s a must see observation deck in the second floor. The sea lion viewing tank is amazing! I’ve never seen a sea lion so big up close. I’d actually visit this place every time I venture to Seward. I also enjoyed having the opportunity to touch the starfish. There’s a lot of fun facts to learn here, and you should definitely check it out.

Experiencia fantástica: Had some time in the morning before we rode the bus out of town and decided to support this establishment. It isn't an overly large aquarium but it has a nice diversity of animals and is laid out in an easy to follow format. It would be a fun place to take the family for a few hours.

Experiencia fantástica: It's one of the must visit places in Seward. It's not huge and would not take a lot of time to see around, but there is a lot to learn about the conservation efforts underway. The people who work there are passionate about their work and are always willing to chat about what the center is working on. The bird enclosure is especially nice where you can get a closer look at puffins and other species of birds seen around the region.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun and informative place to visit. The touch tanks, aquariums, and seal and sea lions exhibits were a big hit. Thanks Alaska SeaLife Center for a great day.

Experiencia positiva: Fun place but pricey. Nice tanks including touch tanks. Neat puffin exhibit. The seal and sealion are in small tanks viewed at a distance. The under water viewing is average

Experiencia fantástica: This place is incredible! Loved every minute of it and will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: an institution — locals have been frequenting this place for generations. they do great work for the oceans, helping animals and releasing many back to the wild. educational on salmon, as well, with the tank that has swift currents like a river where you can see how the salmon swim up stream, as well as the life cycle of the salmon through many tanks of juvenile salmon. the birds are also great fun! puffins and other species!

Experiencia fantástica: I was surprised how much I liked this place! I went here on the advice that if I wanted a sure fire way to see a puffin this was it. I was not expecting to only be 2 feet away from a puffin. They do have other marine animals too and interesting displays about the life of Salmon. I would highly recommend going here

Experiencia negativa: Cool place, but lighting was not turned in a lot of the building and many areas were already shut down for the season. I understand both things, just back off of the $35-$40 per person to get in during times like this perhaps.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a great half day outing. Very interesting, lots of good information, interactions with the exhibits. Really enjoyed all the hands-on exhibits.

Experiencia positiva: I was very much surprised how well this Center was organized. Thoroughly enjoyed the interactive sealife exhibits. Able to touch and feel many creatures such as Sea Stars and Sea Anemone. Well worth the visit. Took about 2 hrs to go through everything.

Experiencia fantástica: Great displays and they do good work. Well worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent facility with lots of local creatures. We loved the seabirds the most but also the touch tanks were fantastic.

Experiencia fantástica: What a great place to visit especially on a rainy day.

Experiencia fantástica: Great opportunity to see lots of wild life up close. The center specifically goes out to help abandoned or injured sea creatures, so you can’t go wrong spending some money to support that cause. It was also very cool to see some of the animals swimming around, and some of the local birds like puffins from just a few feet away. Great for kids as well!

Experiencia fantástica: We love watching Alaska Animal Rescue on Disney+ and it was so amazing to finally visit! This was the perfect family activity for a rainy afternoon.

Experiencia fantástica: Located on the shores of Resurrection Bay. The aquarium is a premier rehabilitation Center for the sea life. They had lots of aquariums to see all species of fish.. Harbor seals, walrus, etc. My favorite exhibit was seeing the puffins! The facility has several levels so you can view the animals at top and also underwater in the basement area. They also have an exterior viewing platform that overlooks Resurrection Bay. Great place to visit on a rainy day. They did have a lovely gift shop and restrooms. It was nice that they had a free coat check when you entered. You can spend a little bit of time or a whole day there reading and seeing everything.. Great for all ages! They did have elevators for people with disabilities.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful experience. Ot was very fun and educational. Touching a sea urchin was a blast. It's a MUST visit for ant trip to seward

Experiencia fantástica: Very well done sea life center In Seward. Plenty of information, and very interactive with the sea life there. Only need about an hour to 90 minutes there.

Experiencia fantástica: Our family of five, with kids in both high school and middle school, had an amazing time at the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. This place is a must-visit if you're in the area, especially if you’ve got curious minds in tow. The exhibits were not only educational but engaging enough to keep our teens interested, which is no small feat! I’m always planning our trips down to the last detail, and I’m glad we set aside 2 hrs for this waiting for our B&B to be read. The hands-on touch tanks were a big hit with the kids, and we all enjoyed learning about the local marine life—definitely some cool dinner conversation starters! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, happy to answer all of our kids' endless questions. One tip: if you’re like me and enjoy packing your own meals, there’s a nice area outside where we had a picnic after our visit. It was a perfect way to relax and enjoy the view of Resurrection Bay. Just remember, you’re in Alaska, so plan for layers! All in all, the Alaska SeaLife Center is a fantastic spot for families, and it’s well worth the visit if you’re in Seward.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a really interesting place. It was very helpful to go to before our wildlife cruise, because we learned about the animals and knew what to look for BEFORE we went and saw them in the wild. I did not see any inhumane of questionable animal treatment, and loved that many of their animals are rescued. A major highlight was the touch tank. You can experience the feel of crabs, non-venomous urchins, anenome, shrimp, and sea stars. The employees were very strict with how to safely pet the animals to ensure they were not hurt. Also, one touch tank was clised off to give the animals a break from humans. Overall, this is a very informative and helpful experience that will make an Alaska trip much more enjoyable.

Experiencia fantástica: Super fun way to spend a couple hours. My 2y/o loved watching the seals and sea lions. Great gift shop.

Experiencia fantástica: Thought of educational information in readable snippets. I just hope they really do release the animals after they’re better. I hated seeing the great big sea lion in enclosures that I’m sure is way too small for him.To be happy.

Experiencia fantástica: Brought grandsons for their first time and they loved it. Was scared to touch starfish and urchins at first, but then 1 was brave enough to let the purple ones "hug* his finger

Experiencia positiva: The only complaint we had was the price of the tickets, other than that it was a fairly small aquarium but we absolutely loved watching the seals. The views are also amazing from the observation deck!

Experiencia fantástica: What a fantastic aquarium! I especially love the area with the puffins. You can finally photograph one and watch them bathe themselves. I could have stayed there forever. The tanks were so clean. I was really impressed. The touch tanks were spectacular. Where else can you touch a shrimp So many beautiful sea stars and sea cucumbers to feel. Watching the sea lions swim was very beautiful. I also loved the red octopus. The staff are so kind and they answer all your questions. Another wonderful aspect is that they rehab and release some of the animals. I was hoping to see the Beluga Whale but it was released back into the wild. That is so cool!

Experiencia fantástica: The Sea Life Center was the highlight of the town of Seward, along with the views. We enjoyed getting to see the puffins up close since they are hard to catch on film from a cruise. We also enjoyed being able to touch the starfish and other sea creatures.

Experiencia fantástica: We have loved going here for years, but especially love it now with our two year old. She asks to go every day! The touch tanks are such a special experience and the staff are all super helpful and kind. This is a must-see when you’re in Seward!

Experiencia fantástica: 2nd visit, last was 9years ago. The sea life center continues to impress. Great exhibits, including many touch tanks. Definitely a "Don't Miss" for aquarists and nature enthusiasts.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place, great gift shop. They have scheduled feedings for animals where staff interacts with them and answers questions. It was really busy due to a cruise ship being in Seward that day. The downstairs views of the tanks are really neat. Touch tanks and a few interactive things for kids do do besides just looking and reading.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice afternoon activity for the family, but on the pricey side $$$. The Sealife Center does a good job of showcasing its symbiotic relationship with local marine life - cohabitate not captivity. The seal pups are adorable and not to be missed. The petting pool was fun for everyone filled with starfish, sea urchins and more. The puffins were nice to watch, but on the smelly side. It’s a cute little place that can be done in under two hours.

Experiencia fantástica: If the weather isn't so good, this is a must do. If the weather is good this is also a must do! What an amazing attraction with plenty of information on the sea life in the area. No shortage of staff who can assist with facts and the interactive nature is good from babies to seniors!

Experiencia fantástica: While in town for a few days, we were able to visit the Center. We had a great time and were pleasantly surprised by all the animals and exhibits the Center had to offer. We spent about an hour and a half there and could have seen more. The staff were also pleasant and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: What a fantastic place to visit for a few hours. Great to be so close to Puffins.

Experiencia fantástica: Living in Florida with Seaworld just miles away, I'm not usually drawn to an aquarium. This trolley stop in Seward was a wonderful visit. A sanctuary for animals unable to, or not ready to, return to the wild, it was so fun to see the sea lions, reef animals in the tide pool and the fish enjoying the cold, Alaska water. The Center is also on the water, so it's a beautiful place to enjoy on a nice day.

Experiencia positiva: This SeaLife is totally overpriced for the amount of animals you can see. I would expect double of time to be spend there, instead it took as less than an hour to see everything. If the price would be around 10$ less, maybe it would be worth 5 stars

Experiencia fantástica: What a wonderful place! Our crew on a boat in Halibut Cove recommended it, saying she’s studying sealife in Fairbanks, and they take trips here. Seward is very small, so the Sealife Center is right in downtown, on the water. Parking was plentiful, even for our 24’ RV. The center is open and airy, and has plenty of things to do and see and learn about. We really enjoyed the touch tanks and the demos. The animals seemed really cared for. The gift shop has lots of neat and unique souvenirs as well.

Experiencia fantástica: If you're reading this review, it's probably because you're contemplating a visit from the nearest major hub (Anchorage). Think no more!! Pack up the family and go!! The drive may seem long but it's worth it, beautiful trip and you never know what kind of wildlife or beautiful scenes you'll encounter aling the way. Just like anywhere you drive in Alaska, be sure to check the weather forecast ahead of time. Regarding the SeaLife Center itself, it isn't huge but it's well-maintained and has a big aquarium. The center takes in all kinds of disadvantaged sea animals (otters, seal pups... check their website for updates). Seward is a sleepy town with a lot of flair; make the journey and enjoy your trip!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful marine life center, so much to see out of & under the water. Very interesting for adults and children.

Experiencia positiva: Over price for a small place it is nicely set up. I have paid less in Florida and seen more sea life

Experiencia fantástica: This was a good choice to visit! The SeaLife Center is a very well put together facility with a wonderful collection of different animals. The set up is good for the large crowds that are attracted here. The exhibits are informative and cared for. The wildlife are beautiful and integrative. We really loved learning more about the wildlife we had been and would continue to see on our visit to Alaska. Being so popular we were happy to have had bought our tickets in advance and did not spend long in the line to enter.

Experiencia positiva: Mixed feelings. Super busy. But I was able to see Puffins closer than in the wild. I wish the habitats were far, far bigger. On the other hand I didn’t mind dishing out the money because of the work they do.

Experiencia fantástica: This was so much fun! They have interactive sections when you can touch different sea life. The whole place was cool and clean. Great gift shop! Kids and adults alike will love it. Walking into the Puffin enclosure was a favorite.

Experiencia fantástica: It's an amazing place to visit you could go every day of the week and see something different about it

Experiencia positiva: Nice Aquarium not as many displays as i hoped, but what is there is cool. Seals and sea lions are cool. Mind blowing how big a stellar sea lion is

Experiencia fantástica: What a great place! This is a must do while you are in Seward. My kids loved the touch tanks.

Experiencia positiva: The Stellar Sea Lion is so huge!!! I could sit there and watch them all day swimming in circles. I really enjoyed my time there. They had a good variety of sea life but I wish there was more.

Experiencia fantástica: We saw many sea creatures. It was a nice museum/zoo experience. Would be good for kids.

Experiencia fantástica: It is such an amazing place. It was a great visit. I wish the visits with animals didn't book so fast that way last m8nute pol have to opportunity to do this extra activities. But t overall is was nice to see the animals and have this experience. The staff in the store were very friends and talkative. That was nice.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome! They’re doing timed entry tickets, and we showed up a couple minutes after our scheduled time and had zero wait to get in. It was really cool learning about the animals who live in Resurrection Bay and seeing the wildlife rescue facilities. We were able to watch a staff member do a training session with Pilot the Steller Sea Lion, and it was fun to see him wave and catch the fish. They had tons of people around to give information about the various animals and exhibits. It was really educational. I’m not a big bird fan, but the aviary was really cool. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in Seward for a couple days.

Experiencia fantástica: We learned plenty at this wildlife center. The staff were informative and friendly. I spoke with s as native woman who has worked there for two weeks. She seems to be in the perfect job. Very knowledgeable and suck a good soul.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved this place. Always love being involved in a place that does conservation....esp in marine life.

Experiencia positiva: This was a surprise find that really made our trip to Seward special. We didn't expect to see all the wild life that was housed here. There were wonderful Seals, Puffins, a touch pool, and other rare displays. This is definitely a must visit when in Seward.

Experiencia fantástica: We've been visiting the sea life center with our boys for 17 years. An Alaskan treasure, it is still a mandatory stop when we visit Seward. My favorite part is seeing the birds above and below water in the huge two level exhibit. Our boys love to watch the seals and sea lions. Swimming underwater. As little kids they used to love playing on the boat and loading and unloading the fish.

Experiencia positiva: I liked that it was interactive and you could put your hands in the touch pools I also liked watching the animals do their thing. My only issue is the ticket price is way too high ⬆️

Experiencia fantástica: A working sealife rescue and rehab centre. It has lots of educational and informative displays as well as many fish, birdlife, and sealife on exhibit happily living in tanks, pools and enclosures.

Experiencia fantástica: They have rescued sea life so it depends on what they have found injured as to what you will see. In the summer the amount of animals is a lot more. They have a great deal of information with videos and signs on the wall.

Experiencia fantástica: What a fun couple of hours:) the kids really enjoyed being able to touch the starfish, sea anemone, sea cucumbers and shrimp!

Experiencia fantástica: We went on a Monday afternoon in April. We had the place to ourselves. It was wonderful. The kids could explore without any wait. I can imagine on a busy day in the summer (especially if cruise ships are in) it may be crowded and a little tough to see all of the displays. All of the displays were intriguing and educational. We found it great to be able to see the sea lions, bird display and harbor seals from both above and below. Buying tickets online ahead of time made getting in even faster. Ticket prices were reasonable. It's nice to have military and local discounts.

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable staff and clean facility. Very intriguing and interactive exhibits for both adults and kids alike. They’re a non-profit that supports scientific and direct care for wildlife. Highly recommended place to visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Very very beautiful place. My kids enjoyed touching and feeling the SUNFLOWER star fish. We had a blast. I live in anchorage and I got to say its worth the 2 hour drive.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved our visit! Learned a lot about the amazing work that the SeaLife Center does with animals throughout Alaska and the country. My favorite thing was the aviary. Being in by puffins was so lovely! Seeing a Stellar Sea Lion up close really put their size into perspective. And the harbor seals were just so adorable! Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy aquariums and conservation!

Experiencia fantástica: We visited here September. It's multi-level with many educational displays. Most of the operation is viewed from inside, so it's fine to visit on a rainy day. The best experience for our visit was the wildlife response tour led by staff that took us behind the scenes - we learned about the rescue and development work that is a significant part of this operation.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to see marine animals. They had sea lions, puffins, seals, salmon, sea urchins, and much more. Worth it for the price, they also have a gift shop.

Experiencia fantástica: We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the SeaLife Center. A very good display of marine life. The staff were friendly and informative. All tanks were extremely clean and the animals healthy. It was fun watching the seals, sea lions, puffins, eels, octopus. We were there for over 2.5 hours and wished we could have stayed longer but we had to hit the road. We highly recommend a visit! (Don't know why my phone camera turned the octopus purple. All the other animals in photos were their true colors.)

Experiencia fantástica: Stopped in just to check it out. It was pretty cool getting to see the petting ponds with all sorts of star fish and anenome. Then, the exhibit with the puffins was super cool to see face to face.

Experiencia fantástica: It's a little expensive, but the money is going to a great cause. The exhibits were excellent. Everything was clean, extremely informative, and fun to watch.

Experiencia fantástica: Easily accessible from the Main Road plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. The Center was clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms were available and clean. Plenty of things to see and do with lots of hands on areas. Very well done facility. In the area give them a visit.

Experiencia positiva: I visited the Alaska Sealife Center on September 2, 2023. I didn't wait to enter, and the environment was good. There were not many people today, and I enjoyed watching the beautiful sea life, but $39.54 is expensive.

Experiencia fantástica: A fun and interesting place to visit while in Seward, AK especially if you are traveling with a group. Our group got a private class from an expert on lives of the various kinds of puffins living in the area. Puffins are so cute that everyone wants one and at the SeaLife Center you get a chance to get up front and personal with these amazing birds (don’t touch of course). Here is an excellent opportunity to get close to puffins for pictures and to observe their behaviors. Of course there are many other birds, mammals and fish to observe.

Experiencia fantástica: The place is amazing for kids and adults, learn a lot of marine animals, touch some anemones, sea a great variety of animals upfront. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. Also offers some great views to the resurrection bay.
