Ripley's Aquarium of Canada Virtual Tours

What To Expect

Our virtual tour experience consists of both pre-recorded footage and live Q&A sessions. We chose to use pre-recorded footage in order to provide guests with a more comprehensive experience. This footage highlights things, such as feedings and aquarist conversations, that take place behind the scenes; we would otherwise not be able to guarantee these experiences.

While our Virtual Tour can be presented in Mandarin, the live Q&A portion can only be accommodated by a Mandarin translator if they are available. Please email experience@ripleys.com for translator availability.
