Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre

By: Laura Einikis

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre has everything that an aquatic fan would want to see. It is an interactive and educational center that takes you to the bottom of the ocean to experience aquatic plants and animals from all over the world. Adults and children love to visit this fun science center located in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center is involved in commendable conservation efforts and saving precious species of aquatic plants and animals. Its efforts in protecting the sea turtles of the Pacific Coast have been recognized the world over. This area of British Columbia earlier had large number of sea turtles called the Leatherback turtles, but the fishermen and sailing boats have reduced their numbers so much that these are now on the endangered list.

The salmon conservation program is another important activity of the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, which tracks salmon and schools of salmon to ensure the fish are able to make their famous trek upstream to spawn. It also protects different species of salmon from over fishing by educating the public on these great fish and their epic journey.

The center is a great opportunity for kids to learn about marine mammals, including whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals, and otters. In addition to running great conservation programs for these marine mammals and maintaining a great rescue program that regularly rescues wayward marine mammals and allows them to recuperate before returning them to the wild. For visitors, the center offers a great exhibit of marine mammals, including their new dolphin that has just recently been moved to the center.

Kids love to come to the center to participate in the several hands-on and interactive programs that teach them about plants and animals that live under the sea. If you visit a tide pool you get a chance to gently handle wildlife, including sea urchins and sand dollars. Basically, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center seamlessly combines education with entertainment.

At the center kids and adults can go behind the scenes and get close and personal to their favorite marine animals. The Beluga whale tour, for instance, allows visitors to touch the gentle giants, train the whales, and make them cook their dinner! Other trainer tours allow visitors to see what goes on behind the scenes at the center. You can literally sleep with the fishes if you have the time to spend the night in the aquarium!

The great exhibits at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center show all the animals that call the British Columbia coast their home, from salmon to those unique fish, crustaceans, and plants that live under the waters adjacent to British Columbia.

Lovers of the Amazon who are willing to travel deep into South America's tropical rainforests do not have to travel that far- they can see the exhibit of the same at the center, complete with the creatures that call this Amazon Rainforest home.

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center is a must-see for kids and adults. It is located in the lovely Stanley Park no more than five minutes from downtown Vancouver.
