The experience

North America’s longest underwater viewing tunnel, right beside the CN Tower.

Nine themed galleries hold more than 20,000 marine animals, from a moving-walkway tunnel through the shark tank — North America’s longest — to one of the world’s largest jellyfish exhibits and a hands-on stingray touch pool.

Daily live dive shows run throughout the day, and a “Sharks After Dark” evening-entry option is available separately for visitors who would rather come after 5pm.
