"The tunnel!!"

Reviewed August 13, 2020 NEW

The main highlight is the tunnel running underneath the large basin with multiple species of sharks, rays, turte, and many fish species too. It is very long and you get to see the different animals multiple times as you run through it. The rest is good too (especially the small pool where you can touch rays), but not uncommon to other similar aquariums.

Absolutely amazing. Kids loved the experience and learnt so much. It was fun and interactive. They could touch the stingrays as they swam past. If you are in Toronto for a few days, consider getting a Toronto city pass. Families can save a bit on the top 5 attractions during this time.

Kids enjoy the tour very much. It has many varieties of fishes. Tickets are bit pricey. Usually very crowded, line goes much faster if tickets are bought in advance online

"Over-priced. "

Reviewed August 04, 2020 NEW

Located in prime spot downtown. Great variety of sea creatures. High entry ticket plus parking cost! Covid-19 makes it hard to enjoy anything indoors and manage crowds.

Nice and interesting for all families. A must if you stay in Toronto for few days with your family. Many activities were stopped because of the Covid time... but still, it was interesting.
