Thank you! From Guest Services Team: Typically if someone had mistakenly purchased the Sharks After Dark, we would ask them to email us the tickets at tgservices@ripleys.com and then we would walk them in.

If you are planning a trip to Toronto, put Ripley's Aquarium at the top of your list. We made this…read moreour very first stop after breakfast, and even though we arrived early, it was already buzzing with people and honestly, I totally see why. The experience was phenomenal. Absolutely immersive. The massive tanks showing how communities of fish live together are impressive, but the Dangerous Lagoon is the crown jewel. There is a slow-moving treadmill through the tunnel pro tip: just stay on it and look up. Seeing the sharks and rays glide over you is a core memory. Staff & Service: Top-notch. The staff is not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable. They are very proactive about animal welfare, constantly reminding the crowd to turn off their flashes to protect the creatures. Educational Value: We caught two of the diver shows where they feed the animals. It's amazing to hear them talk about sustainability and how our daily decisions impact these animals' lives for years to come. Crowd: It gets crowded fast! Even as early birds, we weren't alone. However, the layout is so well-organized that the flow of people keeps moving. Food & Amenities: After the shark tunnel, there's a convenient coffee shop and washrooms located in the basement. It's the perfect spot to take a breather. Transportation: Location couldn't be better. It's incredibly accessible you can easily walk if you're downtown, or take the bus/train (TTC) to Union Station. It's right in the heart of the action. Cost: Definitely worth the price of admission for the quality of the exhibits and the message of conservation they share. I got my pass with Citypass. Bottom Line: Whether you are a solo traveler or with a group, this is a 10/10 experience. Don't forget to skip the flash and enjoy the view

Our Aquarium is small. I think that's important to take into consideration when planning a visit…read moreand building expectations. It had a face lift from the last time I was there and those changes are nice. I would say it takes about an hour to get through everything if you stop to read some signs, take some pictures, and watch one of the shows. There is a new additional building included in your admission and about a 2 minute walk from the main building. Although it was in good shape, I didn't personally feel drawn to the space at all and felt like there was more that could be done with it. Overall, I like the Aquarium and it was well worth the $7.16 I paid to get in. I'd feel cheated if I paid the full $25 ticket price.

Hadn't been here in over 25 years, so wasn't sure what to expect. we were pleasantly surprised and…read morepleased! we hadn't realized how involved our aquarium is with conservation and education. we read most of the signs, touched shark, and other in touch tank, watched the captivating penguin show as well as the sea lion show. unfortunately, we didn't have time to stay for the sea turtle show. penguin show is best seen from the first floor (there's a bench to sit on, if you claim it early enuff), but sea lion show is better from upper floor.

From the vortex…read moretunnel to the gravity-defying room, each room I went in... was more mesmerizing than the last. The staff were friendly and respectful. They told us that each room has a descriptive sign which offers insights about the illusions. Also, I loved how interactive everything was because it made for a super engaging experience for my partner and I. So whether you are a kid or just a kid-at-heart (like myself), this museum is an absolute must-see. All I can write is.... be prepared to have your brain twisted and your senses fooled! Lol. Will I return? Absolutely! I need to revisit some of those mind bending displays.

I believe the owner's name is Abdul and he is very friendly and attentive. I have visited on 2 occasions and they have had a great selection of livestock both times (fish, coral, and inverts). If you have a nano tank and are constantly on the lookout for smaller fish, Exotic Aquarium World often has juveniles in stock. Right now they have a lot of baby purple tangs! They also carry a decent selection of dry goods and frozen food (Hikari and Omega One). I find everything is priced very competitively and even more so if you can pick something up during a special promo. Due to public health directives you will need to call the number posted on the door when you arrive to be helped. They also have a website for online orders, but I have always gone in person and received great service. I would encourage fellow reefers to check it out if you haven't already.

Every fish is treated the same way. Their fish tanks are equipped with UV sterilizers to prevent and treat any issues like ick. The owners are exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.
