Vida Marina

Experiencia positiva: Ok..ish

Experiencia positiva: I remember the days when this place had a submarine, not anymore. Take pictures here. Pay to sit on the boat to play boardgames. Control a RC boat. Get on a small floating boat. See some animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Best plase for young kids.

Experiencia negativa: The attraction goes down two flights of stairs to a small corridor. There are about 8 snake and turtle tanks about the size of large fish tanks. Then you walk another 30 feet to see a few fish and signs saying under construction. The touch pool was closed but it’s about the size of two kitchen sinks. The penguin exhibit was about seven penguins in a room the size of a toilet stall standing around looking depressed. Glad I paid 54$ for that……

Experiencia negativa: Very poor and very little to see a couple of tanks and that's it

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was great, and really interesting. Good for family, and I do highly recommend. The guy running the touch pool, was incredible.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved it, very picturesque!

Experiencia fantástica: Great stop while in the mall . Kids will love it

Experiencia positiva: Recommend for family with kid's.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun day at Marine Life

Experiencia fantástica: We went for the Penguin Parade meet and greet. Great experience for all ages. The staff is very knowledgeable and clearly cares a lot about the animals. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: I really Enjoy the show!

Experiencia fantástica: Good to shop; lots of entertainment for everyone, a casino if you like to gamble. There's a nice hotel inside the mall, a bowling alley, a hockey rink, a movie theater, an indoor wave pool, indoor golf for kids and adults, and lots of indoor rides. There are also food courts if you get hungry.

Experiencia negativa: I just feel bad for the animals locked up in a mall of all places...

Experiencia positiva: Marine game awesome Beautiful place And the best thing is accessibility. You can get a free rental wheelchair within and it was a sturdy comfortable wheelchair.

Experiencia positiva: They must implement engaging and fun ideas to draw in more visitors. The limited space for wandering around makes the experience dull, and it's essential to enhance the attraction to keep people interested.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun to explore world's 2nd largest mall

Experiencia fantástica: Love seeing the sea lions at the mall

Experiencia fantástica: Super wet place. But I stayed dry so it's a pretty cool place. PS. I stayed warm though it was cool

Experiencia negativa: Want to givr minus (-5) stars. Big big disappointment not enough species and no fun at all. Just different types of turtles are there snakes are also hiding cannot see them properly Waste of time and money

Experiencia negativa: A relict from a long gone time. Shouldn’t be there anymore since by now everyone knows that this isn’t the best of places for animals.

Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely loved the seal show; my sons and I got front-row seats, and my older son got splashed, which he absolutely loved.

Experiencia fantástica: These are Sea Lions. Not Seals. FYI. Fun show for the family.

Experiencia fantástica: The seal show was great and to see the penguin was so cool. We didn't realize there was an aquarium or we would have gone thru it.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun place for family outing

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing 6 granddaughters really liked the private. Meet and greet with Pita thank you for the wonderful memories

Experiencia positiva: Fun experience but cost could be better

Experiencia negativa: Apart from the show,The "aquarium" is not worth it at least now that I think they have most of the fish in quarantine, I felt very disappointed as my son.

Experiencia positiva: It's fine. It's small since it's in a mall. The penguins are cute though

Experiencia positiva: It's was cool to see the sea lions, it's a bit hard to maneuver around people with the curves on the steps to get up there if it's busy. Not clear when shows start or where to take the boat rides.

Experiencia fantástica: It was good experience.

Experiencia positiva: Very small not worth to pay for visiting

Experiencia positiva: Great place, magic.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place hangout with family Lots to do, bit price.....

Experiencia negativa: Don't support this. It's awful

Experiencia positiva: Good price, fun to sit in the aquarium for a bit it just wasn't super big. Don't need a lot of time here. We didn't buy tickets to the sea lion show but you can see it from different points around the mall and it looked good!

Experiencia fantástica: It was neat how we got the shark

Experiencia fantástica: Been here a few times. Kids got to pet the sharks. Tons of cool stuff to see

Experiencia positiva: Good for an outing with children 2 to 5. Any older and there aren't enough exhibits to keep them going for longer than a half hour. If you can catch feeding time, it's alot more enjoyable.

Experiencia positiva: Included in the price of the 2 day play pass, I was expecting a bit more aquarium and a lot less dungeon. I was really looking forward to seeing over 100 species of aquatic life, and maybe saw 15? We arrived at 10am, according to the online opening time, only to find that they didn't open until 11am. The Penguins looked like they were captives in a concentration camp, and the Sharks were all clustered together like the dead bodies on the cart from the Holy grail. My wife got to pet a Shark, and that was cool, but on a whole I wasn't all that impressed, and didn't feel much value in the attraction as included with the 2 day pass.

Experiencia fantástica: We got the pet a shark. The kids like that they almost wanted to buy a snake which could be good or bad. It was pretty cool to see all the fishes

Experiencia fantástica: We had the private penguin experience and it was amazing!!

Experiencia negativa: Sea Looks in Captive, need I say more? The remote control boats area of play too small.

Experiencia positiva: Need more variety of marine animals.

Experiencia positiva: This was our first time to west Edmonton mall it's a huge place with lots to see.

Experiencia fantástica: Great show but get there early for best seats

Experiencia positiva: The swan paddleboats are a fun campy experience for kids to go safely on their own. Two kids at a time can go for a total of $21/swan. They paddle around safely with life vests on as you watch from on top of the bridge above. Your kids will enjoy indepently paddling around and bumping into other swans. It is a 10 minute experience that has your kids laughing and exercising at the same time.

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium is very small, a couple of tanks, but they have 2 interactive ponds where you can touch a small shark. Animals overall look well taken care of. Definitely do not skip the sealions show is the best part.

Experiencia fantástica: Got to pet the penguins and get art from them. They have turtles and frogs and other cool creatures too. Kids had a great time.

Experiencia positiva: Getting kind of old. Still fun for the kids though

Experiencia positiva: Saw the sea lion show with a group of preschoolers. The kids were funny and entertaining.

Experiencia positiva: Feel bad for the Penguins, they look sad. All the enclosures need some maintenance very dirty glass

Experiencia positiva: It's a cute show, and you can tell that the trainer loves and respects her animals. The loss of the one star was from them starting late.

Experiencia negativa: Staff are extremely rude last show I went to i couldn't even hear them talk because 2 of the staff decided to have a loud conversation directly behind me

Experiencia fantástica: Marine Life was a 3 hour class for 6-12 year olds where children got to explore sea creatures' habitats and behaviors. It ended with getting to see the sea lions privately.

Experiencia positiva: Back in the days, they use to have dolphins shows. Now, only sea lions and one just recently passed. Entertainment value took a major drop.

Experiencia negativa: Lame. Unkept and tank population is horrible. Tank is dirty and not worth the money

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic show and really great staff as well as the various habitats and displays in the cave below. Highly recommend that you arrive early enough to get your tickets and line up to sit in the front row!

Experiencia positiva: A wonderful location set inside the magnificent West Edmonton Mall. The site features amazing sights being home to a wide variety of fish, sea turtles, penguins, amphibians, and other aquatic life. There's a whole lot of activities for friends, family, lovebirds, and colleagues to try out like the sealing shows & the penguin meet and greet which are really fun and interesting. Ensure to book in advance for a seamless experience and check website for any changes.

Experiencia fantástica: So much to see. Wonderful experience for adults and kids

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting animals and kids love it

Experiencia fantástica: My oldest (14) loves the Marine life cavern and every-time we are at WEM wants to go! So this year for their birthday we booked the birthday experience. It was considerably cheaper than many other experiences in the Edmonton area. It was fun to get a behind the scenes tour and see some of the animals that are not always out for the general public. It's nice to hear what their goals and purposes are like helping the African Penguin population which are quickly going extinct. We got to feed the sea turtles and that was probably the highlight, and our guide gave us great information about them, and all the animals we interacted with. They were also accommodating as we had a few from our party running late so our guide switched the order of the tour a bit (I think) to try to help them still be able to make the main tour. The only thing we wish we had more time for was time in the caverns and interacting with the pools, but that wasn't included at all. It would have been nice to have 15-30min after the tour to be able to be free in the caverns.

Experiencia positiva: Fun place to visit, aquarium and reptiles are pretty cool. Would recommend a visit. Entry in included with the sea lion show which is nice.

Experiencia fantástica: Huge place and very nice and fun place for the family

Experiencia positiva: During the weekend it's CRAZY to try and get in. During the week it's morrow calm to go. It's a cool little experience for kids (small younger kids).it's not the cheapest either to go in. It's zoo prices for about 40 feet of zoo experience. They have a touch tank, some reptiles in small places, there is also the big aquarium you get to look at and a small penguin enclosure. There is an extra fee to watch the matine life show which I never went too before, just watched the show from the 2nd level in the mall.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for whole family to get to know sealife. Wonderful staff and great experience.

Experiencia positiva: Had a great time there with my in-laws. Jeff was our guide for the experience, and it was clear he took pride in the job. The birds were really well behaved, some pooping on benches aside. Just wish it was a little longer; a half hour for a 6-person group just isn't long enough.

Experiencia fantástica: My children loved seeing the animals. Very cool experience we would definitely do again.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice place to enjoy specially for kids

Experiencia fantástica: Good one, but could have been better if there could be more things like having a large aquarium.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place. The seal show is amazing. Nevermind the fact it's in west edmonton mall. You will have lots to do, a good time at the seal show, and enjoy the aquarium. Not to far from this place is the movie theatre, food court, water park, mini golf, and various other things to do.

Experiencia positiva: Small aquarium. Admission for adults is $13, honestly a little pricey for the experience. We explored inside for maybe 10 minutes and came back for the sea turtle presentation, which was very underwhelming.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience with Gareth during the penguin meet and greet! He was helpful and smart and told us everything about the penguins... plus they were adorable. Thanks Gareth!

Experiencia fantástica: Finally made the visit here after putting it off for a while! It's a smaller aquarium but has a TON to see! I don't want to spoil any of the exhibits, but it was really lovely. The handler for the touch tanks was especially awesome- they really seemed to love their job and knew a ton about the critters in the tanks! All in all it was a great experience, and a really reasonable price for what you got to see and experience!

Experiencia negativa: Absolutely HORRIFIED with the situation that happened to us today. Their door to enter and exit was shattered and sliced my boyfriend’s hand open. We went to the booth to ask the staff for medical or first aid and they told us to go to “customer service”shooed us away and didn’t even ask if he was ok.. as they didn’t have a first aid kit. Didn’t give us direction so we ran around for a minute… came back because his hand at this point was spewing blood..and said “you guys don’t have a first aid kit?”. To our surprise they really did! When we opened it we were even more shocked to find out it was expired in 2019! My mother in law is a nurse and said to the man pictured to the right “oh my god you cannot use this on anyone it’s expired”. If a 30 year old man can cut his hand this easily imagine what it could do to a small child. No sympathy no effort to help! Terrible customer service and staff all around. Will be finding a lawyer to handle this properly! DO NOT TAKE UR KIDS HERE!!!! WARNING! JUST AWFUL!

Experiencia positiva: Review time !!! I came here with my daughter, it was an amazing experience. Never tried the swans rides before, but my daughter had been wanting to go on them for so long. It was $20 for 10 minutes which i felt was a ridiculous price to pay... and felt a bit robbed because even steering the swan was time-consuming, but Still was worth the experience and to see a smile on my daughters face. But wow, I wasn't feeling that price line. It probably will be my first and last experience but at least worth a try, I guess.

Experiencia fantástica: Great stop for kids in West Edmonton Mall. Sharks, turtles, eels and penguins

Experiencia positiva: It was a good show. Short, I think forty-five minutes, but lots of information would go again. Cost about fifteen dollars, not too bad.

Experiencia positiva: While there are a lot of fun things to do at the West Edmonton Mall, this site is not among my favourites. I went twice because it was included in my two-day mall attractions pass. Without this pass, however, I would not have paid to go in. To be fair, there are some interesting exhibits/talks. (I saw a great presentation on a snake). That said, the space is quite small and is not as enjoyable as many other attractions at the mall.

Experiencia fantástica: It was the coolest thing ever!! We will definitely be going back!

Experiencia positiva: Last time we there, heat was cranked way up, to the point of uncomfortable... some of the exhibits were down and the overall feel was not as fun as in previous visits years ago..

Experiencia positiva: The entry fee is considerably high. The only interesting part was touching the starfish.But that's about it. There are few cages of reptiles like bull frog, ball python, turtle and 1 penguin tank, another tank with sharks and a few other fishes in it. Over all you spend about 10 mins.

Experiencia fantástica: A very good place to enjoy with kids.

Experiencia negativa: Great idea! BUT broke our hearts seeing the size of the enclosure the penguins are in as well sea turtle…they need bigger homes! Size of my tiny living room for a seaturtle to do laps over and over…and the penguins can’t even do a lap in there tiny home it’s so tiny! Do better for these creatures! There’s a whole ship that turtle can swim around just put pexiglass on top to protect him. Bring your frustration forward as that’s all we can do.

Experiencia positiva: Mall was nice. Prices were high. Staff were average. Seemed unhappy at work and annoyed to be there. Was not very busy at all. Perhaps it was just an off day.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome price and great product....l love shopping....

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place a must visit place for your toddler. Closes early as 4pm. So buy tickets online. $2 ship tour was fantastic and took lots of photo with my toddler. Enjoy!

Experiencia fantástica: It was a wonderful experience for my family harder than it looks.

Experiencia positiva: Decent experience I would say. At $30 for a family of 3 including a toddler, there isn't much to see but it is still something I would do once.

Experiencia positiva: I'm not a fan of animals in captivity, however I know for their safety sometimes it's necessary. The staff are Awesome and friendly. I went with my son who chose this as a visit. The turtles and snakes and aquarium were all nice to see. Short but sweet little stop.

Experiencia positiva: Pritty small, not really worth the price. There are turtles, snakes, fish and pinguins.

Experiencia fantástica: I was just walking pass the pirate ship and they brought out a live penguin. That was pretty sick to see a small penguin walking around a mall.

Experiencia positiva: Small and outdated. The staff are knowledgeable, but the exhibits are tired and tiny. Honestly anything more than a $2 admission is too much.

Experiencia negativa: Maybe it's great, but they have zero way to get my wheelchair down there, so I couldn't see it. The person at the ticket booth made zero effort to soften the blow of being denied entry and seemed to be impatient to leave

Experiencia fantástica: Great educational visit

Experiencia positiva: It was fairly busy at noon on Sunday. It was fun to watch the trained seal but just from the free zone

Experiencia positiva: Neat place to visit, though it is relatively small.

Experiencia negativa: You're paying $15 for a whole lot of nothing. The most interesting part was touching the starfish, anemones and sharks. But that's about it. There's a few cages of reptiles and 1 penguin tank, another tank with sharks and a few fish in it. Not to be PETA but the animals don't look like they're in a proper environment. You'd get 10 minutes out of it max. Not recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved this place. Take your kids they will love this place lots good store to shop there.

Experiencia negativa: Very small, nothing interesting inside, just a few sharks and one turtle. Very dark. You can't see anything, one minute the whole place can be seen. $13 per person. Expensive, I do not recommend it.
