Our Puget Sound
Captain a two-story cargo ship and then explore Puget Sound sea life up close as you crawl through the hull. Float your own boat, experiment with an 8-ft Ballcano Vortex, and examine specimens at the Puget Sound Science Table.
Our Puget Sound
Operate the crane on the port’s working waterfront, make and float your own boat and don’t miss the Ballcano water exhibit with an 8-foot-tall vortex. See specimens up close at the Puget Sound Science Table with HD digital microscope! The Working Waterfront is action-packed and full of real world Olympia connections.
Splash in the Water
The water table and Ballcano exhibits in Puget Sound Gallery are some of our most popular exhibits. Continue the water play outside in our Outdoor Discovery Center’s waterfall and water table.
