The Aquatarium at Tall Ships Landing

Recently went to this Wonderful place. The staff was super friendly and great. Lots of information about the history of Canada. All in all it was a 5 star experiece for us.

My wife and I went there on a whim on Victoria Day 2023. As we both love animals, we were just hoping for 'nice' and we got 'wonderful'. The place is not big, but very well setup and clean. The animals and fish represent those found in Ontario and also down the St-Lawrence gulf. We arrived a bit late for the otter play time, but there was one big male left. He was having a relaxing time swimming, then giving himself a nice grooming and scratch on the logs of the display before going to lie down inside a tree trunk to sprawl and snooze. Around a corner was Justin the Beaver; he turned out to be hilarious. As we approached and could see nothing, my wife saw him close to the windowed wall and let out a laugh. There he was sprawled on his back under a warming light, tummy up, paws just flopping by his head, and dreaming of chewing something. It was adorable. One of the staff was there and took the time to laugh with us and answer more scientific questions about this gorgeous animal. After a few minutes, Justin deigned to roll over and move a bit to his personal pond where he chewed a few logs and branches. Then he sat there looking at us, allowing us to take a few photos. Overall a very pleasant visit even for adults; let's be honest few of us ever get close enough to a beaver or otter to see them having fun.

Everyone had lots of fun here though it's definitely more interesting for younger children. I'm just docking two stars due to a frustrating experience with their electric charging. They advertise this on the website, but theres no way to activate it through the parking machine and customer service doesnt answer their phone. Local staff was nice but also unable to help. Ended up overpaying and spending extra time to charge somewhere else.

The Aquatarium was fantastic. So much for the kids to see and do. We also got tickets for Travelling Bricks which was associated with Aquatarium. Travelling Bricks was not worth it at all. The hype on the website is overblown. It took us maybe 20min to walk through and was a waste of money.
