Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

I had fun time here. I went there at last night because I don't like to be around with too many noisy people. The staffs were so friendly even though I was there very late. I told them, "I took so many pictures!", and they replied me " Seems like you have lot of fun! We are happy to see that!" It is a good and positive experience here.

Really enjoyed this experience! The displays are amazing, very natural, the sea life seems very well cared for and healthy. They have a great assortment of water creatures!

The staff were all super, overall a great experience!!

Favorite part was the cuddle fish they're so smart and playful,

there's a little hands on exhibit where you can hold starfish

Took about 10 minutes to get in including buying tickets from the self serve kiosk.

No complaints apart from the ray exhibit being closed 😔 was a great experience, been there a few times but decided to go by myself for family day was extremely busy everyone was polite and didn't hog viewing room.

staff were amazing I was a lil bit confused on where to go and without hesitation a staff member recognized that and approached me to help.

Love the Aquarium! It was our first time taking our grandson (4 yrs old) and he loved all the interactive aspects of the exhibits. Washrooms were clean. The Cafe food was pricey but tasty. The gift shop at the end of our visit had reasonably priced choices for him to choose from. The one negative I will mention: the Cafe had no lids on the kids slushy drinks. Small thing to mention, but big problem with a toddler. Overall, Ripleys Aquarium never disappoints!

Was my 2nd visit, had not been in years since my children were young. Now this trip without kids, well it was pretty much all families with small children. Pretty busy and lots of kids screaming but still lots of fun and enough room to admire the beautiful aquatic life.
Staff were all great.

Super cool experience! I love how many diverse displays there are, loads of information, and the moving floor is a great feature. We got to watch the rays get fed by a diver, and there was a touch tank of smaller rays! There is a play area and food court about halfway through the aquarium to take a break if needed too. Definitely recommend!’

Went on a Tuesday with my sister as I have never been there before and she wanted to show me. Unfortunately, the special sting ray area where you can pet them in an open tank is under renovations and we weren't aware so I couldn't get to experience that. So make sure you check their website or social page about updates.

Everything else was great, loved seeing the different areas/exhibition, great time reading and learning new facts. My favorite part was the tunnel where you just enjoyed and relaxed on the escalator because there is glass surrounding you it is very cool! Even got some froyo from a robot which was very cool. Fascinated and amazed of all the tanks, variety of species, information, decor, music. Was a memorable experience that I got to experience with my sister! Since we went on a Tuesday afternoon it wasn't so busy.

Such a magical place! We love this place so much and stay there for 4 hrs! There is a little cafe in there for some hot dogs a d fries. Indoor playground to keep the kids busy. Our most favorite area was dangerous lagoon. We get to see sharks, big turtles and sting rays lots of different fish through the tunnel swimming all over us. My kids love the touch area too! They get to touch sting rays and star fish which is a bonus for our trip! Definitely worth the money.

We went to Ripleys on Sunday at 3 pm, probably one of the busiest times, and it was still great! We bought our tickets online and walked right in.The pedestrian flow was busy but fine. We saw everything that we wanted even if we had to wait a minute or so. The different attractions were all beautiful, and our favorite was standing on the moving walkway so we could see all the fish, sharks, and turtle swim above us! Truly a must do if coming into Toronto. Love Ripleys!!

Exploring Ripley's Aquarium on Christmas Day with my nephews was a memorable experience. Despite the holiday crowd, we were captivated by the mesmerizing jellyfish displays. The interactive play area for kids added an extra layer of joy, making it a delightful family outing. Consider getting tickets online to make the most of your visit, especially during busy times. I would recommend buying your tickets for after 5pm “sharks after dark” you save 5$ per ticket that way!

Great fun for the family. All ages can enjoy marine life and very educational as well. Ablot of interactive exhibits for kids and adults.

Not my first time here, but was here chaperoning a class trip.

The aquarium isn’t that huge (it’s a big loop that you can speed run through in ~10-15 min if you really wanted to) but it is packed with things to see! The reefs, the setups, the turtles and sharks and jellyfish are all so beautiful and I highly recommend you taking the time to really take in all the serenity of ocean life.

Don’t miss the opportunity to touch some of the stingrays or to attend one of the dive shows!

Incredible aquarium, highly recommend to everyone.
The $50 entrance fee, including tax, is well worth it. It's remarkably spacious, featuring an entertainment zone and a dedicated area for children.

The variety of beautifully displayed fish is impressive.

This place offers a wonderful atmosphere for families with children. The underground tunnel is impressive with its view and filled with various marine creatures. We spent about an hour there and enjoyed this moment.

This place is awesome! All year-round fun that is great for kids and adults. The tour is self guided and has several stops for a quick fun activity before moving on. It's mind-blowing how many different kinds of sea creatures there are. The environment is neat even with the large crowd that visits daily, so kudos to the staff! Love love love it!

Very crowded but we really enjoyed the tunnel and seeing the sharks, stingrays & turles, groups of fish swam over our head ls was really cool! I Was hoping to see more jellyfish. I also liked the seahorses and sea dragons. Takes about 1-2hrs to finish seeing everything unless you want to read all the info on the displays. In general, it is a good place to spend time with your family. There are washrooms which nice. Also sitting space is available in duration as it’s too much walk specially for seniors citizens and kids. There is a big variety of item in the souvenir shop. Finally, I was able to see many marine species and rare species. It was a clean and maintained place. At the end they showed documentary where they tells how they maintain all water and temperature for various species. Also you get chance to touch string rays which is fun and interesting part of visit.

We attended the monthly jazz night event where you can enjoy alcoholic beverages throughout your tour and listen to live jazz music in the main section. This was our first time and absolutely loved the part where the escalator brought you through the underwater experience. Sharks, large turtles, stingrays and fish swam all-around us. It was a really great experience. They also have a large kids section too, for all ages, if you have any.

Riley’s Aquarium is a perfect place for both adult and kids! Hundreds of types of fishes. We went doing the Christmas holidays so it was fairly busy but I can see it being pretty good on a regular day for the kids have fun and run around!

PRO TIP: Tickets are discounted after 5pm and you can take in your own food as there’s not too many options available near the end of the day.

I don't generally approve of captured animals on display for people to gawk at - however - I went here on a corporate 'outing' to schmooze with clients, so I'll give it fair treatment regarding its quality. I must say as far as aquariums are concerned, this is extraordinary. You can literally pet sharks (if you dare) and the tunnels throughout the aquarium is an amazing immersive experience. Various creatures spanning the globe, a layout that is creative and engaging - 5 stars.
