If you're fascinated by the ocean and
aquatic life, you'll want to make sure you make it to Canada's largest
aquarium. A short walk from Downtown Vancouver in Stanley Park, the
Vancouver Aquarium was opened to the public on June 15, 1956. Since
then, it's become the third largest aquarium in North America. Beyond
that, the aquarium is well known and respected around the world for
its knowledge about and interpretation of aquatic life.
If you want an extra special experience, the Vancouver Aquarium offers
a lot of great special events. From sleepovers to birthday parties to
behind the scenes encounters with some of the larger creatures at the
zoo, there are a lot of ways to make a visit to the Vancouver Aquarium
an extra special experience. They also offer 3 to 5 day camps for
children, which makes Vancouver a great place for the whole family on
vacation. During the events, you'll get an even closer behind the
scenes look at all the great ocean creatures and their habitats.
If you've visited the aquarium once or even multiple times, it's still
a great destination. Their newest attraction, "Frogs Forever?" takes a
look at amphibian extinction. There's a lot more than facts and
information available at the Vancouver Aquarium, though. It's an
experience. Whether you're young or old, there's going to be something
that makes you open your eyes wide or want to smile. Whether the
Vancouver Aquarium is your main destination or just a side adventure
while in Vancouver, it should be on your list of things to see and do
while in the area. |
