Ripley's Aquarium

Tuesday, May 17, 2016

Hello Everyone! It's been awhile both Jeys and I have been extremely busy. However, now that summer is here expect to see more posts *fingers crossed. With that being said, this first 'comeback' post won't necessarily be a review but more of an overview of a recent place that I (Tin) went to.

Last Friday May 13, Jeys' brother and I went to Ripley's Aquarium. If you're heading to downtown Toronto I suggest checking it out. It's great for families, friends, couples and if you just simply want to see what's going on. Jeys' brother and I bought tickets for the Shark's After Dark Session which apparently is more cheaper. This does not simply mean there will be an event dedicated to sharks! We initially thought that there would be some soort of show specifically for Sharks, but there wasn't. But, there are definitely sharks swimming around in the Dangerous Lagoon area :).


So, our situation was slightly different Jeys' brother had a work discount so we were able to attain tickets for a much cheaper value. There was specified times (ours was set for 7 till closing) when purchasing the tickets online, but we managed to get into the aquarium around 6 40 pm. Which was great!  There wasn't that much people and quite frankly the aquarium is quite spacious, unique, eye-catching, family oriented, and most importantly educational.


Touching sting rays was super super smooth!

What was so amusing and cool was that you get to touch and feel some of these sea creatures :D. Ek, I forgot the name of this one. 
Nurse Shark :D

There was a conveyer that moved for you allowing you to look around while it moves you throughout the water tunnel. However you can always hop off it easily too. Here I am looking right above and I see a nurse shark and a saw fish. 


These are anemone. These were displayed throughout. The very pink one is called a strawberry anemone, don't be fooled though they are deadly! 

Here they show how they maintain the aquarium and how much water is being used for each section of the aquarium. I guess this is their way of saying why the price of the tickets can be pricey. 

A small play area to play around with the machine (not real machines). There are small machines throughout to play around and tinker around within the aquarium. 


The aquarium took about an hour and 15 minutes I believe. And we are very fortunate because we could've actually gone through the museum till it closed due to the time of our tickets. We did actually go back to view the jelly fish, it was just honestly surreal.

Although there are mixed opinions regarding animal and sea creature life in regards to aquarium. But if you personally aren't bothered by it I'd suggest trying it.
