Went at 11.00 on a Thursday which was not the best time to choose as full of school trips that were running riot! Other than that the exhibits were amazing, the aquarium was the best we have ever seen and the tropical fish were sooo pretty ! Really enjoyed

"Expensive but good"

We went for my baby's 1st birthday. It is free for kids under 2. We had presto card ( public transit prepaid card) so we got a discount and paid around $70. Look for discounts as there are few that will work for you. If not It is expensive but worth it. Since my child is not walking we spent less than 2 hours. I imagine toddlers and older children spending much more time there since its very kid friendly. They so do events like shark after dark and yoga. We went during the day during the weekday so it wasn't crazy busy but fairly so. So I would avoid weekends if possible. It is fun, relaxing, some what calm ( lots of children around) and educational. Parking can be very expensive and bit of a hassel so if possible take the public transit. It is a tourist trap but one that is worth going to. Our family really enjoyed watching the sting rays especially.

Lots of marine animals to see. I wish the place could have been a lot bigger, but we truly enjoyed our time at Ripley's Aquarium.
