Educational and Fun!

Review of: Skip the Line: Vancouver Aquarium Admission

Lovely aquarium! It’s smaller than the one in Monterrey, and many of the fish I have in my home tanks; however, the exhibits are really nicely done, super cool Amazon exhibit (sloths!!!), great viewing of the otters, very decent food in the cafe, and a...More

Not worth it

$38 for an adult ticket is awfully expensive for what you experience. Liked the exhibits about BC and its coast but otherwise it fell short.Lots of strollers and children made the indoor area feel crowded and one had to be very careful with small children...More

Well-priced for what you get

Although the Vancouver aquarium ventured a little too far into the educational side for my taste (and even featured a little art too), I couldn’t help but be impressed by their variety of animals. They had a couple of sloths, a room full of very...More

Irresistible

With just two hours of "free time" on a recent business trip, I took a cab to Stanley Park, telling the driver to aim for the aquarium as a central point. I'd been before, but I couldn't resist "checking in" on the sea otters. It's...More

An amazingly good aquarium

I knew that the aquarium was supposed to be good, but it far exceeded my expectations. The exhibits are beautifully done. I had no idea that such colorful fish lived in Canadian waters. I thought only tropical regions had such beautifully colored creatures. Our hotel...More

Stanley Park

Stanley Park is Vancouver's premier spot to get up
close and personal with nature and animals. The grassy
expanse offers outdoor teahouses and stunning views,
beachfront hideaways and splash parks. It is a typical
getaway spot for friends and families, especially as
it is home to Vancouver's aquarium, and some of its
best equestrian outlets.
