I’ve been to the Aquarium twice in the last year and both times were great. The first time it was a rainy day but the outdoor shows still went on as planned. The second time was with my two year-old niece on a beautiful day. The shows are very educational and fun for the whole family. If you’re a photographer, you’ll get some amazing pictures here. The point is you will have a good time rain or shine no matter what age you are.

Agreed! Last year my boyfriend and I went to Vancouver and the aquarium almost didn’t make it on our itinerary but Vancouver aquarium was great fun, even for grown-ups. The sea otters are a must-see and you won’t regret it because they’re just so damn cute! Everyone seemed to be attracted to the new born baby Beluga whale but she kind of just floated around. But those sea otters sure knew how to entertain- they were doing synchronize things that would put a smile on anyone’s face!
