We had so much fun visiting the re-opened @vanaqua We had so much fun visiting the re-opened @vanaqua today to experience their new, time-ticketed, one way flow experience! 🦦🐠🦈 ⠀ Today’s highlights included sea otters & penguins swimming & doing tricks up close, the rehabilitation of a recently rescued baby sea otter, the incredible array of glowing jellyfish, and the amazing Señor Cinco...a blind sea lion rescued from Spanish Banks! ⠀ ⠀ What to know before you go:⠀ ⠀⠀ ■ Tickets must be purchased online for pre-booked time-slots (approx 1.5 hours).⠀ ⠀ ■ Non-medical masks are mandatory for all visitors (excluding kids under age 3). If you don’t already have one, you can purchase an adorable animal-themed one at the Aquarium entrance.⠀ ⠀ ■ 1.5 hours was the perfect amount of time for us to follow the one-way flow through six zones and 83 indoor and outdoor exhibits on the main level (the lower level is closed for the time being), including a rest at the cafe to eat lunch & soft serve ice cream in the sunshine⠀ ⠀ ■ Capacity is limited during each time-slot, so it was quiet during our whole visit and very easy to stay distanced from other visitors ⠀ ⠀ ■ All staff wear masks, hand sanitizer stations are available throughout the exhibits, and we noticed staff frequently sanitizing high-touch surfaces⠀ ⠀ ■ They have a new Picnic in the Park option you can add to your visit. Pre-order the perfect picnic basket the day before, and pick it up onsite to enjoy in Stanley Park before or after your visit! We had hoped to try it out today, but toddler naptime won the battle instead! We’ve heard from friends that these picnics are delicious 🧺 🥐 😍⠀ ⠀ The staff have done a great job re-imagining the Aquarium experience in a way that made us feel safe and look forward to returning soon!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #explorevancouver #discovervancouver #outdoorvancouver #vancouverbc #vancouvercanada #vancouverisawesome #vancouverigers #vancouverlife #vancouverliving #vancouverviews #vancouverkids #vancouverblogger #yvrblogger #yvrkids #yvrlife #yvrliving #yvrmoms #yvrmom #veryvancouver #vancity #familytravel #familytrip #jetsetkids #travelingwithkids #familyvacay #familyadventures #holidayswithkids #exploringfamilies⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀
