Great aquarium with a range to see/do. Loved the touch tank - staff were very knowledgable! Jellies were also cool and the tunnels amazing. We went on a rainy day and so the outside exhibits weren’t … Full review by x17011995

When does the ticket schedule open for September, after Labor Day? We are coming to the coast in September, from September 6th and I've been trying to pre purchase tickets but the calendar is not marked at all, green or red after September 5th.

Thanks for reaching out--so sorry you tried to contact us through email and did not receive a response! Our ticketing system only books out so far, which is why you aren't able to select those dates. September is when our busy season starts to taper off, and and we're less busy on weekdays, too. You do not need to pre-purchase tickets, you are welcome to buy them upon arrival. At the peak of the COVID-19 crisis, we implemented timed ticketing and required guests to pre-purchase. Should there be a resurgence of COVID-19 within Oregon state, we may return to a reservation-based system. If that is the case, we will announce it over our website, social media, and voicemail messages.
Are ID necessary for online tickets? Me and my boyfriend are 17 and got tickets in advance but doesn’t have an valid ID to show at check in. Will we be let in?
A:
You'll probably be okay unless the ticket purchase was a scam.
