- PaulineMay 5, 2013The perfect place to see penguins and sharks. Fishes are classified by region, it's nice !
James WongOctober 3, 2012If you haven't done it before, the 4D experience is well-worth 1/2 the price of your admission.
MorSeNovember 14, 2014A butterfly section with not even one butterfly, but they did hsve a horny turtle trying to jump another. Very fast of course. Nice, but not what I expected...
Jess @mini604June 2, 2012Don't forget to use your Entertainment Book coupon for buy 1 get 1 free admission! =)
simon DangDecember 29, 2011You can skip the line if you buy tickets online with your phone, but buying with a smartphone takes longer
laurie D-SMarch 12, 2013It's okay to bring your full travel coffee mug and packed lunch here. Lots of tables inside the aquarium
WhistlerBlackcomb MountainMay 18, 2011Vancouver Aquarium has a sustainable seafood program called Oceanwise. We work with them closely up here in Whistler.
Melissa MackayNovember 28, 2010Airline crew get in for free!! Just a small donation is encouraged and need your ID-well worth it, very cool afternoon out!!
Rod PhillipsMay 17, 2012At around 2pm they feed the Dolphins. Not a regular show but the trainer puts them through some skills and there is less people
Victor DasFebruary 21, 2014Thanks @VancouverAqua for precious wild marine life rehab, research & conservation efforts.
Grady HarrisNovember 13, 2010If you have kids, buy a membership because they will want to come back over and over. Memberships also allow you to skip the line ups.
Carla Sótonyi GuablocheAugust 26, 2022Is really not a good aquarium. There isn't much to see. Mostly for small kids only. It cost 42 dollars each.
Buy a membership and bypass the huge afternoon lines. It pays for itself in just two visits!
You can pay to have a one on one session with the dolphins and actually touch them at water level
Great for kids and adults of all ages. Our family enjoys it so much we bought a membership! Read more
