Not very many fish or things to see, wouldent visit it again. The Seattle aquarium is much better this aquarium really isn’t worth your time

Both girls (7 & 8 years) had an «AWESOME» time. Their words not mine. This is a tiny aquarium however with the ability to get your hands wet by touching some Aqua life at the end of the exhibits/​displays, our 20 minutes turned into about an hour. Both girls took their time feeling what the starfish & other simple-​consciousness creatures that dwell on the ocean bottom. Joan, an elderly worker at the touching station was very friendly to the girls and answered all their questions. She also challenged them to find (x) amount of fish that were camouflage in the tanks.
If you live in the area a yearly pass is the best way to go as this venue is a great place if you’re simply looking to kill a bit of time with the kids or if you’re seeking a morning/​afternoon of activities with them.

This was awful. Don’t throw your money away. It was a total waste of $ 50. Frankly the best part of the whole deal was the elevator down from the lobby. This was actually cool. Then you go into two rooms with some OK aquarium sights, but that takes about 5 minutes. After which you are out the money and you are dazed, wondering what happened to the rest of the «museum.» This is just a bad tourist trap.

I wouldn’t necessarily visit Sidney just for this aquarium but there are some pretty displays. It’s not large but if you go slowly and check out all the creatures and the open tank, there is a lot to see. A docent pointed out the names of the different fish which was nice of her. There are lots of types of cod, some wolf eels (very cool) and beautiful sea anemones and feather dusters. I saw a swimming scallop for the first time which was pretty cool. You can tour this place in about 45 min — 1 hour.

After I went through the centre I went back and got an annual pass. Yes one of the reasons was I want to spend more time there but I’ll be darned if I don’t get a picture of that elusive octopus he can’t stay hidden forever. It would be sad if you went to Sidney and didn’t visit especially if you have children. It is a learning experience for everyone

The first thing we did upon getting to Vancouver Island was the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre in Sidney. Very cool Jules Verne type doorway that does this sort of fake airlock thingy, but all in all not that many fish or displays. Maybe better for kids? But unfortunately, not really very much to it at all.

I just renewed my membership to this great little aquarium even though I live way down in California and only make it up to Sidney 4 – 5 times per year. While not the biggest of aquariums, the Shaw Ocean Center has a lot of hands-​on exhibits and many helpful guides that will explain everything about what you are looking at. All the exhibits are from the sea that’s right off the coast of Vancouver Island, a really cool idea if you ask me. $ 12 will get you in for the day (you only need a couple hours to see it though), and $ 22 will get you a year long pass. Enjoy!

It was a rainy Labour Day Monday so we decided to take the kids on an exploration of Saanich Peninsula. We stopped at the Beacon Landing Restaurant for lunch (3.5 Stars) and then popped over to the Ocean Discovery Centre. It was great for the kids and very interactive.

While vacationing in Victoria, we decided to come up to Sidney for a day and explore. I really liked how everything in this aquarium came from the nearby waters, which made all of it seem more real. I always feel like aquariums take the weirdest sea creatures they can find and put them all in one place, but it was interesting to learn about the ones that I someday may run into. It was a bit small, but there was a petting area which was my favourite and a gift shop that has a book on pirates (my date’s favourite). If you’re ever in Sidney, I would give this place a visit.
