Our Galleries Span The Globe

Canaccord Financial Exploration Gallery

Our magnificent new entryway introduces the world of the Aquarium and the exhibits within. This gallery also includes some of the research we do, as well as our ongoing projects and conservation stories.

Canada's Arctic

If you think the Arctic is a desolate place, you’d be surprised at how much life exists there. This exhibit highlights some of that life with live animals and cutting-edge technology.

Clownfish Cove

Learn and play together in our play area that’s designed for kids eight and younger. Dress up, nurse a ‘seal pup’ back to health in our new animal hospital, or investigate a touch pool.

Frogs Forever?

Amphibians survived the disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs. Find out why frogs are now rapidly disappearing from the wild in this spectacular exhibit, which uses innovative sound technology and stunning colour.

Graham Amazon Gallery

Discover the giant fishes of the Amazon and snoozing sloths in the steamy rainforest jungle. Snakes, spiders, birds and lizards all live here. During summer, experience the delight of thousands of free-flying tropical butterflies.

Pacific Canada Pavilion

Featuring a 260,000 litre exhibit highlighting the Strait of Georgia, the Pacific Canada Pavilion allows visitors come face-to-face with an underwater habitat where divers mingle with halibut, crabs, kelp, sea stars and various Pacific fishes.

The Wild Coast

A series of walkways takes you past adorable sea otters and acrobatic Pacific white-sided dolphins. Watch a feeding or training session, or hear about some of the research the dolphins are helping with.

Treasures Of The B.C. Coast

Explore the diversity of life found in the underwater world of British Columbia and discover how all of these diverse underwater exhibits are connected to geographical locations off our coast.

Tropic Zone

Blacktip reef sharks, moray eels and colourful fish abound in this gallery highlighting warm water animals from all over the globe. Daily dive shows and shark feeds (twice weekly) are incredible to watch.
