It's small and crowded, and basically like every other aquarium you will visit in North America; however, they do have the Beluga's, so that is something worth seeing. more
I'm also not impressed with the cramped size of the aquarium for both the animals/mammals and the visitors. There are long lines and waits. If you can get beyond this the site itself is really quite interesting with the baby beluga and mother, the dolphins, seals, sea lions. Inside you can see the sharks, bats, etc. The price is about... more
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

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.

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
