Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, Public aquarium at Entertainment District, Toronto, Canada
Ripley's Aquarium is a multi-level facility located in Toronto's downtown entertainment district near the CN Tower. The building contains numerous tanks and exhibits housing thousands of marine animals from around the world.
The facility opened in 2013 and expanded Toronto's entertainment and educational attractions in the downtown core. Its construction contributed to transforming the area around the CN Tower into a modern tourism hub.
The facility displays marine life from Canadian waters, including species from the Great Lakes and Atlantic regions that visitors can observe in dedicated sections. These exhibits help people discover local underwater ecosystems without traveling far.
Visiting on weekdays or early mornings offers a more comfortable experience with fewer crowds. The location is easily accessible by public transit and features wheelchair access to most exhibit areas.
A standout feature is the Dangerous Lagoon with a moving walkway that takes visitors beneath sharks and rays swimming overhead. This underwater tunnel experience ranks among the longest of its kind in North America.
