Default New Public Aquarium in Canada - Ripley's in Toronto

By way of facebook, I saw that some one of my acquaintances posted photos of a recent visit to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada in Toronto.

I think this is a newly opened public aquarium. Anyone been there? Wanna share your experiences & photos?

Kien went there recently (I don't recall if he posted photos though) and I believe some of our Toronto based sponsors have actually provided some coral stock to their displays.

Sounds very promising actually... I want to go check it out sometime myself.

I went there in mid November. It was awesome! Best aquarium I've ever been to in Canada! :-). Seriously though, it was really well done I thought. Definitely worth a visit. I certainly wasn't disappointed.

I was going to post my photos but then decided against it. If you can, you should definitely witness it for yourself. We don't have many Aquarians in Canada so we really should cherish and support the few that we do have.

We were in the area when it was being constructed. Wendy and I peeked into the construction area and could see the concrete tank forms and where the acrylic windows would go. It looked impressive then lol!
