Small but spectacular!I can’t say enough good things about this aquarium. The staff and volunteers are friendly,knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate. The aquariums are all kept very clean and you can easily see everything. They have a large variety of local marine life and even a touch tank. So much packed into one room!

Small but oh man!! This place you can't miss. There is so much to see, touch and hear. I was visiting with my 4 year old daughter about month ago and we still can't stop talking about this place. Plus (huge plus) staff was incredibly friendly and was blasting" us with their knowledge

I was very impressed with this little aquarium. I’m a Wildlife Biologist, and love showing my kids all things nature, and this little aquarium was exactly what we were looking for. It’s so special for the kids to be able to get their hands on and touch these marine animals. The staff were very friendly, and had an impressive level of knowledge. Thank you for answering all my nerdy questions.

This is a very small building, but full of interesting displays. They recently added an octopus and had a naming contest. The winner was Calypso, but I prefer one of the honourable mentions, Octopus Prime :-).The co-ordinates to their parking lot, for a GPS or map program are: 50.02054 N, 125.23691 W (Decimal), --or-- 50° 1' 13.94 N 125° 14' 12.88" W (Degrees

One of the highlights of the trip. We drove a little out of the way but it was so worth it. Tiny little shack but the staff obviously loves their jobs and the creatures were AMAZING! Would visit again if in the area.

Small but quaint. The touch tank us amazing & the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. You can touch the sea cucumbers, sea urchins, several species of star fish. Take your time & enjoy the many sea water tanks that contain a vast array of sea life. Admission is $6 for seniors & worth every penny.
