On any given day, you can expect to witness a dazzling array of exotic underwater creatures at the Vancouver Aquarium. However, there’s one standout marine mammal that only makes a brief appearance for a short time every year.
The fan-favourite Scuba Bunny is back, bringing a wave of underwater magic to Vancouver’s Easter celebrations. Almost as rare as spotting an anglerfish, this aquatic hare will be diving into the B.C. Wild Coast exhibit at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. daily. You can expect to see Scuba Bunny swim alongside a colourful cast of marine life, spreading springtime cheer from April 12 - April 21.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg—there’s a whole ocean of experiences waiting to be discovered at the Aquarium this spring.
Clownin’ around
For families with young adventurers, Clownfish Cove is the perfect place to let imaginations dive deep. This playful, interactive area invites kids to embark on animal rescue missions while learning about marine life through hands-on activities.
And don’t forget to treat your taste buds after you play. The Aquarium’s Clownfish Cones are getting a seasonal twist with brand-new springtime flavours. These limited-time treats won’t last long—so grab one before they swim away.
Thrills in 4-D
If you’re looking to experience just how wild our waters can get, grab a seat at the Wild Survivors 4-D Experience—an immersive cinematic journey that brings the wildest survival stories to life. With cutting-edge 4-D effects, you’ll literally feel the rumble beneath your seat, the ocean mist on your skin and the breeze as you dive into breathtaking natural worlds.
Slow and steady
New this year is the Survival of the Slowest exhibit—an ultra-chill exploration of nature’s most laid-back creatures. Discover how these seemingly sluggish animals, including sloths, armadillos and other slow-moving underdogs, use their unhurried strategies to survive and thrive.
This exhibit showcases just a small portion of the Aquarium’s 65,000+ creatures, which also include sea otters, sea lions, blacktip sharks, anacondas and giant Pacific octopuses displayed across 120 world-class exhibits. Here you’ll get first-hand experience of some of the world’s wildest creatures and the habitats they come from. Don’t miss the simulated thunderstorm experience in the Amazon Gallery, striking every hour at the 30-minute mark!
