To make the most of our short trip to the Toronto area, we managed to find some time and visit the newly opened aquarium in downtown Toronto. As you can see in the first photo, it's not hard to find the newest attraction in Canada's largest city: right at the foot of Toronto's biggest symbol, th
e CN Tower.
The Ripley's Aquarium of Canada opened to the public about 2 1/2 months ago on October 16, 2014. We've heard stories that since then the place is always full of long lines and crowds, so we prefer to buy the ticket online and leave it to go later.
And although the entrance is somewhat salty (almost CAD $30 per person) and the crowd inside (even at night), we found the tour super cool and well worth it. There are more than 13,500 animals in 5.7 million liters of water, in beautiful and large tanks, tunnels and more. We filled our eyes and loved to see Alice marvel at learning more about marine life.
