Making The Vancouver Aquarium Accessible To Everyone

We want everyone to enjoy visiting the Vancouver Aquarium. Wheelchairs and strollers are available free for use during your visit, on a first-come, first-served basis. Most of our exhibit videos are captioned, and we also allow Service Dogs within the Aquarium. Walkways, ramps and elevators create easy wheelchair and stroller access throughout the facility.
