Visitor Waiver, Release and Assumption of Risk

Above The Reef Experience

The Seattle Aquarium's Above The Reef experience provides participants with access to approved behind-the-scenes observation areas within the Ocean Pavilion that are not normally open to the public.

These areas are active operational workspaces. While guests will remain on designated routes under the supervision of Aquarium staff, participants may encounter conditions including, but not limited to:

  • Stairs
  • Uneven and wet surfaces
  • Proximity to open water
  • Narrow pathways
  • Hazardous operational equipment and work activities
  • Elevated observation areas
  • Noise associated with normal Aquarium operations

Participants are required to follow all instructions provided by Aquarium staff at all times. Failure to do so will result in removal from the experience.

By signing below, I acknowledge that:

  • I understand the nature of this behind-the-scenes experience and the inherent risks associated with visiting active operational workspaces.
  • I understand that participation in the Above The Reef experience is voluntary.
  • There are no physical, medical or other pre-existing conditions or limitations that preclude me (or my child, if applicable) from safely participating in this experience.
  • I understand that this experience takes place in an active animal care environment where seafood and shellfish products are present and have determined that participation is appropriate.
  • I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with participating in the Above The Reef experience.
  • I agree to exercise reasonable care for my own safety and to follow all instructions provided by Seattle Aquarium staff.
  • WAIVER, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I (i) waive and relinquish any and all claims, actions, demands, lawsuits and expenses (collectively, “Claims”) that I may have against the Seattle Aquarium and its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, and affiliates (each, a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”) related to or arising out of my participation (and if applicable, my child’s participation) in the Above the Reef Experience; and (ii) release, indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all Claims of any kind and nature related to or arising out of my (or my child’s) participation in this Above the Reef Experience, including without limitation any damages or injuries which may be sustained during the experience.   
  • I understand and agree that this release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of Washington, and that if any portion of it is held to be invalid, I agree that the remaining terms shall continue to be in full legal force and effect. 

This Visitor Waiver, Release and Assumption of Risk is governed by the laws of the state of Washington. 

I acknowledge that I have read and understand this Visitor Waiver, Release and Assumption of Risk and voluntarily agree to its terms.
