It is true, the smallest aquarium, where you can really touch some animals! Very nice young carers, who are there to explain plenty of interesting things about the marine environment More

It's a game changer for the area. The heart and soul that has gone into this project is remarkable and local support for the project stems out of civic pride. When open later this spring, early summer, it should provide a unique experience for tourists and locals alike. More

The old building was very tiny, but what a terrific display of LOCAL aquatic species. The best part of this is that at the end of the season everything gets put back into the sea! More

I never regret my decision to build my home in Ucluelet. The initiative of locals who have worked hard at bringing something as precious as the Aquarium to our town is appreciate. My two local grandsons have learned a lot at the aquarium and we all find it entertaining to bring guests visiting town. More
