Canada's largest aquarium, tucked inside Stanley Park, with more than 65,000 animals across some 120 exhibits from Pacific jellies to tropical reefs and an Amazon rainforest gallery. It no longer keeps whales or dolphins, focusing on rescue and smaller marine life, so set expectations accordingly. Buy timed tickets ahead in summer and combine it with a Stanley Park walk.
