    SOUTH VAN.LOCATION-I've always loved April's Aquarium. I n to hear that their Hasting st (Burnaby) location is closing. But I'm also happy that April's Aquarium other location,(South Van.) In Vancouver will be open 7 DAYS A WEEK now. Their Thursday hours will also be extended. Although we live in burcoquitlam, we always make the distance to go to April's. The owner, Darren, provides high quality customer service. They have a huge variety of nano fishes, shrimp and plants. They also have a wide selection of Aquarium Co-op supplies, which is very recognized in the aquarium world. We love going to April's. Highly recommend this store for all your aquarium needs. Oh, also they have a POINTS system to achieve free fish tanks. I'm currently trying to configure our house for our 12th fish tank. lol

    We had one full day in Vancouver and decided to spend the morning in Stanley Park and at the…read moreAquarium. We had such a great time! We've been lucky as a family to visit some great aquariums all over the US and I'd say Vancouver's definitely ranks in the top as well. I do think that separates this Aquarium to others we've been to, thankfully due to the moderate climate here, they can have outdoor seal, sea lion, and sea otter enclosures, which was great for our son as he loves seals. Also thoroughly enjoyed the laid back setup on the shows, where you don't have to sign up or pay extra, they are on a recurring schedule. You can easily make the Seal, Sea Otter, and Sea Lion shows without having to rush or miss out on other parts of the Aquarium. The interior does have quite a bit to see as well. I liked the Pacific Canada and Treasures of the BC coast as of course that is highlighting the local wildlife we do not get to see. Naturally, what visit to an aquarium is complete without a stop at the gift shop? We all found some great and fun merch to bring home as we exited. All-in-all this a great aquarium in such an equally great setting and city. It might not have the biggest footprint of others you may visit in North America, but more than makes up for it in the beautiful setting, outdoor enclosures, and helpful staff.

    Visited this aquarium specifically to see sea otters, and I was not disappointed. So many furry…read moreotter friends to watch as they played, groomed, swam, and ate! There seemed to be frequent live events like feeding otters and giving them ice/toys. I wish that the otter exhibit was larger, as it would've been great to see more of them. The above-water viewing section was smaller than I expected when compared to the sea lion areas. It would be great to also have some signage about each otter currently at the aquarium - I didn't notice any when I visited. I did find the aquarium a bit tricky to navigate even with a copy of the map, as it wasn't clear where the BC oceans exhibit was.
