About Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada is one of downtown Toronto’s most popular family attractions, bringing visitors face-to-face with thousands of aquatic animals from Canada and around the world. Located beside the CN Tower, the aquarium combines dramatic underwater exhibits, interactive experiences and close-up encounters with sharks, rays, jellyfish and other marine life.

Its downtown location makes it especially easy to combine with the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Roundhouse Park and other Entertainment District attractions for a full day in Toronto.
