Bringing Our Programs To Your Community

Let the award-winning Vancouver Aquarium's AquaVan, presented by BC Hydro make a splash in your community with live animals from marine and freshwater habitats of British Columbia. Touch a squishy sea star, examine the intricacies of a barnacle, and be amazed by the wonders of the marine world as you discover the connections between aquatic life, the environment and ourselves.

Community AquaVan Launch

Living Waters

During our Living Waters program, AquaVan Educators will lead groups of any age in a hands-on exploration of life from seashores and open oceans, sea bottoms and estuaries. This is a unique opportunity for all ages to explore the rich marine life of our nearby oceans.

  • Find out how a sea cucumber defends itself, where hermit crabs get their shells and how they all 'fit' into the web of life.
  • Explore displays of live creatures from fresh and salt water habitats.
  • Discover how you are connected to the ocean.
  • Check out the ongoing interactive exhibits and videos that reveal secrets of marine life.
  • Our experienced AquaVan educators inspire and educate all ages.

The Living Waters program runs for up to five hours per day.
