A great place to visit whether you're a student, an adult, or a child. The touch tank is massive, there are many unique lobsters, different kinds of local fish, a couple of harbour seals, seahorses, a children's area, a beach, and outdoor area to explore. There's also an excellent gift shop, stocked with amazing resources to learn more about the intertidal zone and temporary shark tattoos. Love this aquarium!

Kids had a great time looking at the different sea creatures. It was my first time here aswell and I really enjoyed learning about the different fish and sea creatures. I got to hold a star fish and see a woman get soaked by a huge fish lol (total fluke) . I also enjoyed going outside and seeing all the scenery and going down on the beach. Lots of memories created here.

Small aquarium with a few fish tanks and the star of the show are 2 seals and there's a small tank where kids can pet a crab and a starfish. Don't expect a Ripley's experience but good enough for an hour's fun for most kids. You can also access the beach from there. Entrance is about 15$ for adults and kids under 3 for free. Ample parking space.

Certainly not worth the cost! Very little in observation tanks, couple of lobsters you could have seen at sobeys , couple of starfish that’s it and they were few and far between , and downstairs very little to see, water unclear in some tanks, only one seal and he faced the corner all the time, never moved couldn’t even see him. No longer allowed to roam the shores without joining a tour group with a guide (probably an extra cost and must be booked in advance. Floor downstairs was wet the entire time. Waste of time and money, extremely disappointing second visit for us.

We enjoyed it! It took about 3 hours to do all that we wanted to do.The highlights were the touching tank, which was excellent and very interesting for young and old alike and the stairs down to the water where we found thousands of creatures and fossils.The seal was hard to find as his dad had just passed away when we were there. We felt badly for him as it was really clear he was hiding away and wanting to be let alone.Lots of interesting fish and crustaceans to see and local info. Worth the stop for sure.

Such a fun place for kids and adults to engage in learning about our marine life, history, ecosystems and sustainability. Definitely a good addition to your trip. The touch tanks are really fun :)

We had a great day at the museum and aquarium this summer. There were a couple of exhibits that were out of order, but my kids loved the interpretive touch tank and seeing all of the live specimens. The boardwalk to the beach was great and we liked exploring the shore line. It would be nice if there was a trash receptacle for folks to discard litter they find on the beach.Price of admission was fair, gift shop is pricey, experience was worth it.
