Great place to send the day! Lots of things to see and do! Learn about Chester & Helen, the awesome dolphins. You can even touch the rays in the water!
if u have two adults going, buy one adult membership and you get one free admission along with it, price almost the same as buying two adult ticket, plus you get discount on most purchase and food.
This place looks great since they finished the renovations. Tons of cool exhibits both indoors and outdoors. Great place for a fun date or to spend time with family.
The sea otters are adorably cute . And there is something for everyone: frogs, jellyfish , whales, even bats. The food is overpriced, but that's no surprise.
Be sure to check out as many shows as you can and leave a whole day to do it. Everything is very humane and well done@plus they have a great 4d film !
Feeding time for the Sea otters was fun. Behind the scenes encounters book weeks in advance. You can go to guest services to check availability the day of your visit.
Look for Ani, the quirkiest Northern fur seal you will ever meet. She has one eye, she loves to be scratched, and only eats her fish backwards (tail first). She'll flip them around to do so.
"Canada’s largest aquarium and a world leader in conservation efforts; more than 70,000 animals; trainer-led shows include beluga whales, dolphins, sea lions, and sea otters ; hands-on tidal pool"
Wonderful aquarium right in the park . Terrific live shows, 4D theater and informative, well presented exhibits . Clownfish Cove is a fun spot for the under 8 kids.
A great place to take the kids.-be sure to book online as there are timeslots that fill up fast. Check out the cost of a membership as it can be very cost effective especially for a family.
Nice aquariums with jelly fishes . Totally worth the money 😉 Also dolphins and otters shows are really nice.
They have a Brazilian session which was really interesting to see! We also can see the good care and attention they have about the environment!
Lovely aquarium right in Stanley Park . If you arrive after 4.30pm you can get in again the next day free.
If you already bought your entrance pass but reconsider and want the membership benefits, you can apply what you already paid towards the anual membership (worth it if you pay for 2 people or more)
Great place to see, nice walk into Stanley Park with an icecream . Dolphins show was impressive!
Sizeable place - can spend a good hour or two here. I have to say - the tanks for some animals seem too small. I also don't like the shows they put on - it should be about conservation in my opinion.
Loved it has inside and outside trainings to see. Loved the Dolphin show and the 4D movie
There are short feature programs focusing on different animals every hour: penguin program is good, so is the one on whales.
Great shows! Make sure you carefully check the schedule.The sea otters are adorable, as well as the belugas and dolphins
The 4D movies are pretty fun to experience. Not to mention they come with admission price. :)
The best aquarium I've ever visited. They basically hade to throw me out after four hours!
We love the Aquarium and all its habitants. Parking can sometimes be an issue but it's all fun inside.
You'll get the best view of dolphins and sea lions performing if you go during an informal feeding time (around noon when I went).
The beluga whales were cute . Lots of interesting things to see. Very expensive though.
Avoid the 'free' app snappz. 3 QR code locations then you (or your kids) need $3.99 to unlock. Better to just be creative & make up a game to keep kids engaged. Feels like a cash grab!
If you already pay the entrance but reconsider and want to buy the membership and get the benefits, you can apply what you a
Very nice aquarium , entrance is 31CAD (33 if you donate 2 dollars)
Instead of lining up at the front gate for a ticket, use the fast check-ins along the side and skip the line ups. They only accept credit cards.
Next, a trip to the Aquarium was incredibly enjoyable as I find aquatic animals very fascinating! For thrill-seekers, try the 4D experience! It’s exhilarating!
If you buy the membership you can get a free adult pass and 20% off other tickets and purchases inside.
The Arctic area is excellent with a large array of well looked after animals.
rescue dolphins, seals, and sea lions. jellies , rays, and sea anemones. lovely. trainer talks were disappointing.
I liked the outdoor sector with seals, whales and penguins . We don’t have this at other aquariums in Canada.
The 4D movie was a great experience! Very informative as well .
Lots to cover; leave about 3 hours to see it all
AWESOME PLACE ... A VIP tour is amazing ... Enjoy
The After Hours events are fun, time after time. Jellyfish ! Otters! Frogs! Of course there are dolphins.
Great place to take my daughters to have fun and learn at the same time
The one thing that really struck me was the Amazon exhibit . Those things they have in the water there are really damn freaky. I don't ever want to go swimming in the Amazon! LOL
One of the marmosets really like kids and will chase you back and forth across the habitat on the other side of the glass.
So many visitors and kids! Sea mammals are the most popular! Lots of fun.
Must go spot with your kids. Never disappointed even if you are no more kid!
Loved the false killer whale. He's super cute , and a little hopeless 😊
Membership is worth it: skip the line , free entrance for a friend and discounts for the rest :)
Awesome jellyfish . Beautifully enlighted
Buy $6 all day parking . You will enjoy your time not being rushed to cram it all in under 2 hours.
You can now experience the feeling of touching a manta
Try to catch the dolphin show. Go there first, then the aquarium . It's outside in the back.
You can take one person with you if you buy the membership.
Sea Otters are the absolute best!
Great exhibits and perfect combo of inside and outside activities. Loved the 4D shark experience. - James John (Jay) Cudney IV
Better than the Toronto Aquarium gift shop 😉 - Antonio Perez
They have cool engraving machine. And nice selection of everything. - iuliia p
Best pet stores in lower mainland. Origin is a great western Canada cat food - Luke Campbell
The whole area is beautiful! You can hike as well. Art is so precise and colorful - Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate
This is such a fun bike ride. You get 360 views of the water, bridges, and city. Lots of rental places around if your don't have a bike. - Mary S
