What a fantastic visit for our family! We have been hyping up the Vancouver Aquarium for our 4-year-old for weeks, in anticipation of our Vancouver vacation, and it surely delivered. He was skipping around and enthusiastically spotting all the creatures during his entire visit. His mind was literally blown! We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it is quite a busy place. We purchased tickets in advance (recommended as we bypassed a mini line at the entrance) for timed entry and I cannot imagine how busy it would be without this measure. Even so, we were comfortable not wearing masks (I work in the healthcare field so if passed by risk assessment). We had a lovely 2-hr. visit. Recommend to pay for the day parking rate so you can move your car around Stanley Park and visit other sites!

Recommended for all ages
This is one of the destination places when you are in Vancouver and you can couple it with a few hours in Stanley Park where it is easy to find and well signposted. Admission is reasonable at (Sterling equivalent) £50 for two of us (did include a small senior discount for one) We didn’t find the need to book in advance. You need about 2/3 hours to enjoy the aquarium without needing to rush. Some of the attractions inside do seem to fill up quickly so you will need to manage your time. Overall recommended for all ages.
