Vancouver Aquarium

The Aquarium is AMAZING! It was so worth it! I wish we could go more times, so much to see and do. It was easy to walk around, didn't feel crowded and a bunch of plaques and maps showed how to get around the aquarium very easily. Enjoyed the food at the restaurant, they had healthier options, and an amazing deal of buying a mug with ice cream that was refillable and a souvenir at the same time! We saw so many animals, a bunch we hadn't seen before in our lives, it was so nice! The otter feeding was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced, seeing the care givers feeding each one, so cute!! The animals looked healthy and very well taken care of. The 4D show presented by David Attenborough was beautiful, worth it. I liked the amount of tanks, there were so many fishes and impressive animals, like the sloths, sharks, so many octopuses, and an amphibious space. Also enjoyed how big the seals area is. The whole aquarium is clean, and beautiful. Loved the gift shop. And the amount of educational information they have, a job of ecological education of success. We enjoyed our time immensely, and I will return when I come back to Vancouver.

The Aquarium was the highlight of my daughter’s summer vacation! We had such a great time exploring everything. The place is very clean, the staff are friendly, and the indoor and outdoor layout is amazing. There are so many animals and exhibits to see, and we loved discovering new species along the way. The best part was finally getting to see axolotls for the first time. They are even more adorable in person! The gift shop is also great and has so many fun souvenirs to choose from. Definitely a must visit, especially for families!

This place is genuinely so magical! I had never been to an aquarium before, so I was quite skeptical on how the animals are treated. Although after visiting I believe that this aquarium treats the animals great. There were sooooo many things to see and I really think it is worth every penny spent! My favourites would definitely be all of the jelly fish :) the otters were cute too ofc! (Actually all of them were cute ) definitely recommend coming here!! (One note is that it’s suuupperrr busy so definitely go on a weekday maybe!)

Such a fun place to visit! There is so much to see here, but my absolute favorite part was the outdoor seal and sea lion habitats. They are so playful and charismatic—you could easily stand there for an hour just watching them swim around and pop their heads out of the water. The whole aquarium is beautifully maintained and a perfect day out in Vancouver.

Amazing creatures! Got to see some unexpected things from an aquarium like a sloth and monkeys! So many extra activities like touching star fish, vr experiences, and side shows (pet a lizard, feel snake skin, touch a turtle shell and shark teeth) The sea lion show was by far the best expirience! Plenty of seating, plenty of activity, right next to a food stand for lunch. One of the most amazing things I've seen and so up close! Love that humongous sea lion!!! And as for the gift shop id say there are some reasonably priced options! Some more expensive items if you want but definitely something for everyone! Some things to be cautious of include: Parking is very difficult, be prepapred for a small hike through the forest but id definitely say worth it. And the layout can be a little confusing, take a bit of planning and thought to make sure you've seen everything! Over all an amazing experience!
