It was our last day in Vancouver on vacation, and pouring rain, but we decided to head out to Stanley Park anyway. We found our way into Vancouver Aquarium and spent a happy day keeping dry, and enjoying all the fish and animals the Aquarium has to offer. Despite the rain, they still hosted their outdoor shows featuring the Baluga... more

The Vancouver Aquarium is a great place to view sea creatures and things of that nature. All though the viewing areas can get somewhat congested with children and families and strollers ect. on busy days, the layout of the facility makes it easy to get around. The price wasn't bad when i attended and they have student prices which is... more

This aquarium has quite a range of species, and the most popular attraction is the beluga whale, though I wasn't quite sure if their tank should have been larger, though the show was quite informative. The other species were really good to see, and it was entertaining watching sea lions spitting at people! It was a good day out and... more

This is a very good aquarium, lots of interesting exhibits, well worth spending half a day or more. We booked for the sea otter tour which was really worth it, after learning more about these creatures, we got to go and actually feed them pretty close up which was amazing. more

We visited the Aquarium because of the Beluga Whales, its just a fantastic place and a definate attraction to visit with the whole family. We thoroughly enjoyed the day there. The Beluga Whales are something else, there are also Dolphins, Sea Otters, Seals and many more animals that we did not expect to see. There are all the aquariums with... more

The Beluga whales are the main attraction - haunting ghost like whales who seemed to smile a lot at us. Otters were very cute. I learned a lot about the sea life in BC. Very educational more

While we enjoyed the shows, and found much to admire about the exhibits (everything was in excellent repair and had very good signage) there were some aspects that were disappointing here. The outdoor exhibit spaces were crowded - they seemed small for the animals and did not give enough viewing room during shows. My 5'3" wife was unable to see... more

A popular spot, gets very busy with kids. Habitat space was way too limited for the sea lion(s) and seals. The sea lion is huge and he needs some space to stretch out. The beluga habitat is pretty nice. The big deep pool that used to be for the killer whale didn’t seem to be in use at all –... more

I have read the reviews and cannot agree with everything said about this attraction. I have been to European aquariums that have far better facilities and much more space for the animals. Vancouver aquarium is built in Stanley Park which is a 1000 acre park in Vancouver. The size of this aquarium is an insult considereing the amount of parkland... more
