04 Vancouver Aquarium
One of the largest and most diverse aquariums on the west coast, the Vancouver Aquarium is the perfect way to finish a day of whale watching. With more than 50,000 inhabitants including dolphins, sharks, and sea otters, you're sure to see your favorite sea creature. The fun doesn't stop with the watery exhibits -- there is a range of shows with trained animals and some interactive exhibits, staffed by knowledgeable professional zookeepers, to help you learn about different wildlife and marine conservation. Children enjoy petting the sea stars, manna rays, and other animals in the interactive touch pools, and everyone loves the 4D movie that makes you feel as if you're under the sea. The most unique animals are African penguins, tree frogs, and even piranhas.
