Ripley's Aquarium offers a truly immersive and delightful experience, especially highlighted by its spectacular underwater tunnel. Walking through this tunnel, visitors are treated to an up-close view of awe-inspiring marine life, such as graceful sharks, majestic stingrays, and ambling turtles, not to mention the captivating schools of fish that add vibrancy to the aquatic ballet. This feature particularly fascinates children, providing them with a memorable and educational journey into the underwater world. The variety of marine species on display is both educational and entertaining, offering a great way for children to learn about ocean life in a fun and engaging environment. The interactive aspects of the aquarium, where children can get hands-on experiences; touching stingrays, further enhance the enjoyment and educational value of the visit. However, one aspect that could enhance the overall experience at Ripley's Aquarium is the addition of healthier food options. While there are ample dining choices, they predominantly lean towards fast food. Offering a variety of nutritious choices like fresh salads, sandwiches, and other wholesome snacks would be a great improvement. It would cater to health-conscious visitors and those with specific dietary needs, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a full day at the aquarium without compromising on their dietary preferences. Such an initiative would not only add to the visitor's comfort but would also align with the aquarium's commitment to education and the environment, emphasizing the importance of healthy living alongside marine conservation.

Went with the family while on vacation. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area and have some time to enjoy the scenery. Not cheap but worth it at a reasonable price. Not like you would go here every day so the higher price is worth it. Many different fish and jelly fish as well. Everything is well made and the water is clean. I suggest not touching any of the water displays since there's a lot of chlorine in them due to many hands touching it. Your hands will smell hard ! There were a lot of people but still enjoyable if time isn't of the essence. I would recommend going to the SECOND gift shop since there are a lot more things available and way bigger, plus you have to go through it when leaving. Items are a bit pricey but that's to be expected as every other souvenir shop is similar in price. The picture that you take in the beginning when entering the exhibit allows you to order a portrait with a frame at the end of the path. I got one after all and the process was easy and allowed me to change the backgrounds as wel. To keep it as a long term memory, I find it really worth it. Stingrays were cool and the conveyor belt in the tunnel was fantastic. You get to see it all in detail and have sharks and giant turtles swimming over your head. Amazing! Highly recommend. Like and follow for more honest reviews.

We embarked on a mid-week visit to Ripley's Aquarium accompanied by our family of five. Arriving around 11am, we were greeted by a bustling atmosphere that was almost overwhelming during the initial two to three exhibits. However, as we continued our journey, the crowd dispersed slightly, affording us a better opportunity to appreciate a diverse array of aquatic creatures. Opting for the moving conveyor belt experience, we were able to enjoy the exhibits with a bit more breathing room, creating a pleasant separation from fellow guests. The mesmerizing jellyfish were showcased in a captivating tanked section, complemented by an abundance of starfish, sharks, and stingrays. Towards the end, the touch tanks were a bit cramped and heavily populated. Regrettably, many visitors bypassed the final tanks due to the congestion and occasional pushiness. Nevertheless, the aquarium offered a splendid assortment of fish species that were a delight to behold. The premises and facilities, including the restrooms, maintained a tidy appearance. It is worth noting, however, that the hand sanitizer stations were found to be empty, which was a minor inconvenience.

We went there on Tuesday Sep 5, 2023 with kids, since their school starts on the Thursday after the labour day long weekend. They liked the aquarium, especially when they see sharks and big squid. We purchased tickets online and we didn't wait to enter. It's a nice place for kids and also they have a children play area with the cafeteria. You can bring your own food for kids and have it there if you don’t prefer to purchase food there. I like the yogen fruz auto dispenser. The machine makes the frozen yogurt in front of you after ordering. You can see the entire making process. My kids like to see it. We didn't purchase membership since we don't live close by, the annual membership is $250 for family of 4 including 2 adults and 2 young children. The tickets we purchased is a one day pass. It's about $128 for 4 people, our kids are 3 and 5. If you live close by, it may be worth to get the membership and have kids spending time there. They also have the dive shows as scheduled and kids have a chance to touch some of the stingray and sea stars.

An amazing place and must visit in Toronto Downtown, next to the famous CN Tower. No matter what age one is, this aquarium is an absolute delight. Extremely well maintained and managed place, very courteous and helpful staff. It's just that people around should behave properly and keep the place clean, especially the small food cafeteria. I enjoyed to the core by viewing the various species of aquatic animals, and quite a few most of us don't know. If planning to visit during the summer or during public holidays, better to buy tickets prior and avoid waiting in the long queue. You can take pictures and videos inside the aquarium, as there are no restrictions. Just loved the dancing Jelly Fishes, that was the highlight for me, in the entire aquarium. Superb lighting in the background, that makes it more magical to see so many jelly fishes moving around. Overall, an absolute delight. Will visit again for sure...

I went for the first time with the camp I help out with. It was an okay experience. It's better to go earlier because it'll always be full of people but earlier just a little less people. I enjoyed different types of new underwater creatures, however it's way too packed to enjoy. Especially in that little like fish tunnel, too many people get on and start squishing with you and push, you don't get to enjoy or see. It's always a little of people standing in front so you can't see nor take pictures properly. It's dark which is normal and okay. I feel there should be more organization in the aquarium especially the more liked areas. Or for example if kids go, it should be just a bunch of camps going all at once without other people so that we don't bother them with so many children. And vice versa

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.

My husband and I brought there our 3&5 y.o boys. All of us enjoyed the visit. Kids liked the aquariums, playgrounds and other interactive activities. My husband and I were mesmerized by the creates and the path under water. This place is a must to visit for a whole family. One thing to mention: be ready that the place is PACKED. We had to join a line even we arrived at 9.10 am. Also, before that we spent sometime to find parking which is not available on a site. It is a great idea to purchase tickets in advance. No need to print them. Just have your phone ready and click on a link receied after the payment got processed. Another tip: out kids got wet while playing at the water table. Hence, spare clothing might be needed.

A really great aquarium with lots of cool fish, sting rays (sea flap flaps) and sharks. The moving walkway through the big tank was very cool and gave you a good opportunity to take it all in. Up above there is a tank where you can reach out to pet the rays if they come up, which was very cool. We really enjoyed the section which showed how all the water and tanks are maintained. That was unique and unexpected but informative. Come prepared for it to be extremely busy no matter what: Despite having booked a time slot and having gone later in the evening, this place was absolutely packed - mainly with the very young children we had been hoping to avoid. At the end of the day it’s a tourist hotspot so it is what it is.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at Ripley's Aquarium! The variety of marine life on display was truly captivating. The sight of the majestic sharks, the graceful sea turtles, and the elegant stingrays left me in awe. Being able to touch a stingray was a thrilling and interactive experience. However, the highlight of my visit had to be the mesmerizing display of jellyfish. Their ethereal movements and vibrant colors created a truly magical moment that I won't forget. The entire visit was an engaging and immersive journey into the underwater world.

Great experience for people of all ages. It was about $36 dollars after converting from CAD to USD when I went which felt like a pretty decent price compared to similar attractions in the US which usually run much higher. I enjoyed getting to see all the animal exhibits. The jelly fish on the ceiling was probably the coolest. It’s easy to miss since your aren’t expecting to have to look up in that area. Getting to touch some of the animals in the water at the end is cool too, I just wished there was a spot to wash my hands afterwards.

Excellent place to bring your little kids because there is a playground and the whole experience in general is super fun. The food is surprisingly good! This is not too common in places like this :). The sharks and jelly fishes are so beautiful, and the sea turtles are a show apart. We took beautiful pictures in the glass tunnel that look so good. Wonderful place to visit more than once.

All the lights, it was lit up perfectly. It was really beautiful. And the fish didn't see me trapped or treated in some kind of cruel manner. It was very. Large the tanks they We're in. There were sharks. There were stingrays there were jellyfish there were. Every kind of fish, you can even see a few larger tortoises .

Honestly, other than the moving walk-way that takes you though the underwater tunnel, I found the experience sub-par. We visited on a weekday afternoon in August and there were simply too many people present. The number of people made it overwhelming for our little one as well. It was amazing to see the sea turtles, sharks and sting rays, but I would recommend going earlier in the morning when there are less people. I would personally not return, but I can see why people would be curious to visit.

This is the second time visiting this place in 3 years and the latter visit is equally exciting and fun. We had to wait in the line for 10 mins to enter despite buying tickets in advance but can’t complain as it was a weekend. The selection of fish is beyond imagination and you’ll be amazed by the beauty of the nature trapped in glass boxes. It might take anywhere between 2-3 hours to complete the visit depending on how crowded the place is. Cleanliness is good and the staff is friendly.

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!

Much more impressive and larger than I was anticipating. It's a little pricey, but well worth the cost in my opinion. I bought tickets on a Saturday online for 2:00 pm, but arrived early. They scanned the tickets at around 1:45 pm and there were no issues. Great for both kids and adults. We did not have kids with us and were thoroughly entertained and learned quite a bit. Our Uber driver said he buys the season pass and goes about 5x a year with his kids.

The only thing that knocks this down is the visitors taking photos which was okay but the time I went it went like a photoshoot so it was a bit annoying. Everything else was really really great. Price is reasonable and crowd level was good. Would recommend for sure!

I always love the aquarium. Unfortunately it’s not included in the city pass. It’s great for kids and has a kids area with interactive displays. But as an adult, I also enjoyed walking around looking at fish & learning more. It’s very clean, the animals seem well taken care of. I loved seeing the seahorses, sharks, jellyfish and the sea turtle. It’s maybe 1.5 hours long if you don’t read through everything. I love that they’re open late as well. Great large gift shop. I’ve been two or three times, and will go back!

I went on a weekday during school and the crowds were manageable and quite sparse. It was easy to see each exhibit without feeling overcrowded. I found you could go through in less than 1.5 hours, I ended up going through twice. I recognize that this place is probably expensive to run but found admission to be high for that short amount of time. This place is great with a stroller because there are ramps throughout with no stairs.

Awesome set of displays, from sharks, giant sea turtles, stingrays and a multiprocessor of dishes from different ecosystems. From cold water to temperature and warm waters. Take a look at the pyrrhanas, the gellyfish display. Go in the u Der water tunnel to see the giant dishes swim around and above you. And finally you will have a chance to touch starfish and stingrays. Great experiences for adults and kids alike.

Amazing!! The fish look in good status (which is something I always take care of about aquariums). There are thousands of them, different species, some are separated obviously, and some others are together making a beautiful ecosystem. My teenager son had a blast. I highly recommend it. By the way, the gift shop is dangerously well sorted and expensive, almost impossible to spend less money than the entrance cost.

I've been to many aquariums, so I went there with not-so-high expectations. Turned out, it was one of the best aquariums I've been to. The underwater tunnel experience was amazing, and there were so many sharks and stingrays. I highly recommend this place to everyone, especially if you have kids! Tip: you can get $5 discount if enter after 5pm. Takes about 1 hour to 90min to see everything and spend a little bit time at the gift shop.

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!’

Absolutely stunning display of marine life! The only nagging undercurrent (pardon the pun) of my experience was a prodding concern that the creatures were happy and had enough room to roam... perhaps my own paranoia, and the facility took great care in disclosing the many water cycling features on site.

Booked the 'Sharks after dark' tickets and was not disappointed. Although there were a number families with young children there, I imagine it would be much busier with families during the day. The whole aquarium took on a mysterious and ethereal atmosphere with the night lighting. The moving platform was a surprise and most enjoyable. If you can visit this place after dark, take that opportunity. Loved it!

Been here multiple times over the years. Pretty good for an aquarium which is not close to the ocean. On the smaller side but definitely more than enough to entertain toddlers for a couple of hours. Kids loved the huge sea turtle, sharks and the jelly fish. Stroller friendly and right by the cn tower and Rogers center.

Ripley's Aquarium is very beautiful. I had a very good experience. The food quality at the food court requires some improvements. The playground area is very busy and small for the number of visitors, which are mainly families with kids. It would have been more convenient if there was underground parking below the aquarium's building.

Such an amazing place and experience. Spent there almost two hours without noticing. There's also a parking lot accessible 24 hours, a few minutes walk from the aquarium. The place was much bigger than I expected, the facility and the wildlife were fascinating and taken care of well.

Loved this place. One of the best aquariums I've ever been to. Lots of different species to check out. Very wheelchair accessible and a great place to take the young ones to teach them about aquatic life. Beavertail shop outside was great as well. More

The aquarium is simply fantastic. It took us about 3 and a half hours walking slowly with the baby in the stroller. The underwater tunnel was worth the price of admission alone. There is an intermission halfway through with a canteen and

Don't compare Aquariums in other countries. Good deal for the price you pay. 5 dollars cheaper after 5 PM. No time limit to stay inside. Great place for kids to play. Underwater tunnels only for kids. Conveyor belts. Great ice cream.

Our next family Toronto adventure take us to Riley's Aquarium of Canada with a category of 4.6 and more than 55,629 reviews, this seaquarium is in other level. The way they show the under water life is incredible insane.

Super fun place to visit and they had a huge variety of species. Would definitely check this place out at least once!

This aquarium is amazing, very family friendly. Lots of attractions for younger kids to older adults, there’s literally something for everyone in here. Interactive puzzles for kids, you’ll have a blast. More

Had an amazing time this weekend, took a friend from out of town to visit. Bought tickets in advance, and while the aquarium was busy, the entry was efficient and didn't have to wait in line at all!

I decided to do the Sharks after dark event with some friends. It's 5 dollars off the regular entry price after 5pm. The regular day price for an adult ticket is about $45 CAD but it will get you

My son and I enjoyed our time here. It was our first visit and it was fun. They also have lots of play area for the kids and a cafe/restaurant.

This was such an amazing experience! Definitely recommend you go check it out if you’ve never been! I loved it just as much, maybe even a bit more than the kids! lol It was Amazing!!! More

Really great aquarium with lots of water species like octopus, sharks, turtles lots and lots of different kinds of fishes. I really liked the jelly fish sections and stingrays

Very cool experience for us all.. fun no matter what your age. Pool where you can pet sting ray. Not crazily priced... If you take the train it's right there by union. Easy

It's a great place to spend a rainy day. Don't come on weekends and holidays because it's too crowded and you won't be able to really see the tanks or feel the atmosphere.

We went on their 10 yr anniversary. It was not to crowded and everything was clean and well maintained. Also the moving walkway that takes you through os amazing!

Such an amazing place. Beautiful animals. There are shows from 11:00 am to 2:15 pm where you can meet a scuba diver! Would go again!!! More

Very nice place. Kids enjoyed it, not busy at all when we went (Tuesday evening). Clean and friendly atmosphere ...worth the money.

This place is amazing, I highly recommend it. Worth every penny!! They even have stroller rentals for $3.00. More
