Imagine going on a field trip… but you’re an adult.
Like, how nice would it be to spend an entire day learning about otherworldly creatures or miraculous advances in science?
Now imagine if there was food involved… and maybe drinks?
And no kids allowed!
Well, you may not get to miss a day of work, but we’ve got the next best thing, Fish + Sips, happening this July at the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park.
New to their summer schedule, Fish + Sips invites guests aged 19+ to explore the Aquarium’s 65,000+ animals after hours while indulging in some seriously tasty food and drink. Unlike the last field trip you were on, there are no packed lunches here — instead, enjoy a selection of summertime food and drinks sure to satisfy all your cravings, including a mouth-watering menu of handheld eats like the aquarium’s infamous sustainable Pacific Cod Tacos, as well as ice cold local craft beer, wine, cider and frozen rosé from the Aquarium’s Frosé Station.
Of course, no field trip would be complete without at least a little learning, so be sure to grab a front-row seat for the Aquarium’s mind-blowing 4D Theatre experience or learn more about the animal kingdom up close at the event’s engaging animal talks and feedings hosted by their dedicated Animal Care team, who make up part of the Vancouver Aquarium’s 60+ years of marine mammal rescue. The Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre is actually Canada’s only dedicated marine mammal rescue facility and one of the largest in the world. Their on-site hospital allows for the rehabilitation of seals, sea lions, sea otters, sea turtles, and even small cetaceans, such as harbour porpoises.
And like all field trips should have had, there will also be a deep-sea DJ, jazz trio band, and other live entertainment; the perfect soundtrack as you discover amazing animals from Canadian waters, to the tropics, and beyond.
These under-the-sea socials are the perfect spot to mingle, dance and connect with the incredible in Vancouver this summer. Tickets start at $55 but you can save 20% by becoming a Vancouver Aquarium member here. In addition to saving 20% on your tickets, you will also receive unlimited entry to the largest aquarium in Canada for one full year, exclusive member-only events, discounts on food and merchandise and so much more.
Here’s the catch - tickets for this event are limited and will sell out, so be sure to book yours in today at vanaqua.org. Fish + Sips takes place on July 14 and 21, 2023 at the Vancouver Aquarium at 845 Avison Way.
