amazing place
This is a must see if ur in Toronto. Its amazing as it's a place that both little kids and adults will love. My boys although now older, still enjoying going there. A wide collection of fish and marine life.
A fun day trip
This was definitely a fun place to visit and I will be back. There are so many different underwater animals to see and explore. You learn so much. This is not just for children, it is just as amusing for adults too!
The animals are friendly and fun to watch. Plus, they have a pretty cool gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs.
We had a great time at Ripley's. We planned a girls day (4 of us), and bought the "Swim with Stingrays experience", in the Stingray Bay.
The building and aquariums are beautiful, the hallways, glass and washrooms are clean. The variety of aquatic animals was impressive, they even had an exhibit that had pike, walleye etc that we would find here in our lakes in Canada.
I highly recommend the Stingray Bay Experience. We had a guided backdoor tour of the whole building, the rehabilitation tanks, the filtration room, the wave machine, and a look from above which is looking down on the tanks, all while the guide is explaining the processes and answering all our questions.
*The absolute best part was putting on the wet-suit and climbing in the cold water with the Rays. We spent a half hour in the tank (visitors could see us), we got to feed them while they were swimming around between us, splashing us. It was incredible to have the adult ones come up beside you, their strength is amazing, they actually would nudge you as they swam by looking for treats. In addition to swimming with the Rays, we also went home with a USB of a video of the entire experience, individual pictures and a bag with a Ripley's towel. We had such a great time, we are thinking of going again!
After visiting the aquarium multiple times with my toddler this year, I found it would be a much better deal to invest in a yearly membership! What a great idea! Now every time family comes into town we all take a little trip downtown to see the Aquarium. There is always something new to see. We have seen divers in lots of different tanks, you can pet sharks and crabs and stingrays. It's the perfect size too - you can get through in about an hour if you go when it opens. There is a cafe and play area about halfway through which is great for a snack, break, washroom. The tank you walk through is incredible, sharks and rays swim all around you, so close! The only downside is parking can be a bit expensive nearby. If you don't need a stroller, leave it at home so you can avoid elevators and ramps. Can't wait to go back and see all our favourite fish, lobsters, sharks and crabs!
I came here with my friend when the aquarium just opened. It was a great experience, but I wish it was bigger or tickets were at least cheaper. I paid $30+ and was only there for an hour and a half.
But the fish and other sea creatures were so nice to look at, and overall, I would come again.
Fantastic place for family fun! So many amazing sea creatures and so very beautiful!! Very easy to access with public transport too.
Amazing Time at the Ripleys Aquarium in Toronto. The amount of time I could spend there with kids is amazing. We went as a group with 5 kids of different ages and they all had a blast. Us parents may have had an even better time.
