    A good day out.
    I am torn on how to review this. The aquariums are absolutely beautiful with such healthy looking fish. The reason for the 4 stars is the lack of signage to stop kids from banging loudly on the glass. Was disappointing to see this is allowed.

Our mission is to provide a world-class Aquarium that will foster aquatic education and conservation, while simultaneously providing entertainment for visitors of all ages. Our goal is to offer an exceptional experience for our guests, and we appreciate you taking notice!

    Great underwater tunnel and surprise highlights such as the sea nettle jellyfish
    Brilliant experience. We loved the underwater tunnel, the rays and the orange jellyfish were highlights. The play area half way around for younger children was brilliant as they enjoyed the water play and play area, could let of steam while we had a drink from the cafe and watch them safely from the tables there.
    Thank you for leaving such a positive review! We are thrilled to hear you and your family had a lovely time at our aquarium. We hope you visit us again soon!

    Visited aquarium first time today (November 23) Much better than what I expected to be honest, some aquariums can be boring and repetitive. But this was different from the start. Massive fish tanks everywhere, moving sidewalk under the tunnel. Play area for the children (we didn't go in there as there was no children with us). Seeing the octopus was amazing. Only comment I would make was it would have been informative to know what the lady was doing with the stingrays at the end of the aquarium. Apart from that, amazing day out.
    Thanks for taking the time to write such a positive review of your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed our underwater tunnel and amazing animals. Our animal care team is dedicated to enriching our animals in various ways, including being inside of the exhibit to feed and train. We hope you visit us again soon!

    Loved the Jellyfish!
    Very beautiful and well-done/well-kept aquarium with an amazing variety of fish! You get amazing views and get to have sharks swim right over top of you. My favorite part may have been the jellyfish! Big crowds, especially with school trips, but it’s worth it if you’re patient and take your time with this.
    Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We’re delighted to hear you loved seeing our variety of amazing animals. We hope you had an unbelievable time, and that we'll see you again soon!

    We really enjoyed the aquarium. It was neat to see all the different varieties of fish in the lakes in Canada. The tank with the shark, turtles & stingray that the tunnel went through was really neat. We went on a weekday during the day and there was a bunch of school kids so it was very busy. We had to try and stay away from the large school groups. But it was still a great place to visit in Toronto.
    Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! Coming on a weekday is always a good idea! We hope to SEA you soon!

    Definitely worth a visit.
    I had a really great time at the aquarium. The tickets for entry are definitely on the more expensive side but in my opinion it was worth it. They had lots of different sea creatures and the variety was great. I loved seeing the sharks, jellyfish, and sea turtles. The touch tanks with sting rays were my friend’s favourite part. All the staff I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. 100% would come back again.
    Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We hope to SEA you soon!

    Some great interactive elements
    Cost $44 for adult ticket which wasn’t bad. Some interactive elements and has a tunnel walkway with a moving walkway to watch all the Sealife animals above. (Sharks, turtles, fish, stingrays) A really great jellyfish wall where it changes colours which was really cool! Some attractions I would recommend for kids.

    So Much to See!
    Awesome! So great and well worth the trip to see it. I want to go again because I was with my kids and I would love to be able to move along at my leisure and read and see more. But it was the highlight of our March Break!
    Thank you for visiting!

    Excellent Display of Sea Life
    The aquarium can get quite busy, however this does not mean you need to rush through the exhibits. Ticket prices are quite high, so make the most of your visit by taking your time and enjoying all of the sea life at each display before moving on to the next viewing tank. Many people around us were in a hurry to see what was next and overlooked a lot of really fascinating things that blended in with the coral and other features within the tanks.
    We're so glad you enjoyed our aquarium!
