5 Fish-tastic Things to Find at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
1. A Moving Glidepath through the Dangerous Lagoon
You’ll travel underwater but there’s no need to swim. Just stand on the glidepath and you’ll move through a clear tunnel with Ripley’s reef all around you. It’s an aquatic adventure with green sea turtles, stingrays, sharks and other fish swimming next to and right above you!
2. HUNDREDS of Jellyfish
Moon Jellies, Blubber Jellies, Upside-down Jellies, and Pacific Sea Nettle — prepare to be mesmerized by the sight of hundreds of them floating serenely at Planet Jellies. It truly feels like another world!
3. Stingrays that You Can Touch
Use gentle hands to touch four species of stingray at the Shoreline Gallery. Close to your new friends, you can observe axolotls and learn about tide pools!
4. A Place to Play, Slide, and Climb
Little undersea adventurers can get their wiggles out while exploring Ripley’s Research Submarine in the Discovery Centre. Climb the rock wall, go down the shark slide, and say hello to Clownfish, Zebra Sharks, Red Lionfish and more!
5. Savings on your Tickets!
A trip to Ripley’s Aquarium doesn’t need to take a shark-sized bite out of your wallet! Show your PRESTO card or the card in your mobile wallet in person to save 15% off General Admission. This offer is valid on up to 4 Flex tickets!

Top 7 Tips for Visiting the CN Tower
1. Time Your Race Towards the Sky
Part of the excitement of a visit to the CN Tower is the ride in one of the high speed elevators! As you travel at a speed of 22 km/hour, count how many seconds it takes to race from the ground floor to the Main Observation Level — and be sure to look out the elevator’s windows while you go up!
2. Admire the Cityscape
The Main Observation Level is 346 metres, or 114 storeys, above the ground. From here, you’ll have the perfect vantage point to take in the cityscape — and take some fantastic photos. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow visitors of all ages and heights to get a great view!
3. Dare to Look Down
The Lower Observation Level will test your bravery! Walk across the Glass Floor or lean over the tilted glass of OverView. Your head knows that it’s perfectly safe (the Glass Floor can hold the weight of 35 moose), but your heart rate might tell you otherwise!
4. Experience “Artmosphere”
Check out this new interactive art showcase, located on the Lower Observation Level. Animated representations of original works by Canadian and Indigenous artists are shown on huge video walls to create a uniquely immersive experience.
5. Let your Little Ones Explore the KidZone
Grab a hot or cold beverage from Le Cafe and enjoy it while your kids have a blast playing on the touchscreen video game consoles in the KidZone. The games are family-friendly and easy to play, and the area is FREE to access!
6. Save on Souvenirs
Don’t forget to take something home so you can remember your trip to the CN Tower! And don’t forget to show your PRESTO card to get 15% off your purchases from the Shop at the CN Tower!
