Acuario del Paso del Descubrimiento

Experiencia fantástica: Inexpensive but fairly small. Worth it if you take time to ask questions and look closely.

Experiencia fantástica: Super knowledgeable staff and so engaging for a small aquarium. Catch and release method every 6 months for the species is very nice to to hear. Definitely worth a visit and a walk through the area.

Experiencia negativa: my parents took me and i hatted it here animals were sad

Experiencia negativa: Terrible facilities! Staff was extremely rude to me and my autistic child. Additionally, I did not know that they stole animals from the wild for this exhibit I thought they were supposed to care about ocean life not teach kids to disrespect it. Very disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: Finally got to visit this small aquarium. It’s only open in the summer with limited hours. All of the sea creatures are local and are released back into the ocean at the end of the season. The staff are very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the local sea life. The touch pool was a cool experience. The octopus was the highlight of our visit. It was mesmerizing to watch her - such an intelligent creature. I do wish she had a larger tank. The place is small and felt a bit crowded. There’s an accessible entrance at the back. Plenty of free parking.

Experiencia fantástica: They take immaculate care of their animals. They house local sealife caught off shore and release them after the season. Local research and conservation efforts are run through the organization, too. Gorgeous little space, wonderful people.

Experiencia fantástica: A lovingly curated aquarium that showcases the local sea life. A must see!

Experiencia fantástica: Très beau petit aquarium, très pédagogique et le personnel est super gentil et passionné. Ils défendent une be llecause en soignant et relâchant les animaux au bout de 6mois.

Experiencia fantástica: Never been in here but it's a part of the place my wife and I went many times when we started dating. It's non profit and showcases some interesting looking stuff (we've peaked in the doors before passing by) This harbor and the ice cream shop as well are all wonderful memories and beautiful scenery to go see. A tucked away icon of campbell river life.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful local catch-and-release aquarium! Small but high quality habitats and diverse native species. Staff are friendly and kind. Touch tank is a fun experience for all ages. Would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Cet aquarium à Campbell River est sans aucun doute la plus belle que j'ai eu la chance de visiter. On peut observer (et même toucher) les espèces locales (crabes, octopus, étoiles de mer, bernards l'ermite, etc) recueillis en debut de saison - remis en liberté à la fin de la saison. L'employée présente était bilingue et connaissait bien ses colocataires. Nous en avons appris beaucoup sur ces espèces marines propre à l'île de Vancouver qui ne cesse de nous émerveiller

Experiencia fantástica: My 3 yo did not want to leave. We went in the morning and returned in the afternoon. Small building but a lot of critters to see and touch! Amazing staff. Brunette with curly hair gave us what seemed like a private tour, answering all of our questions and super nice. 100% recommend for a nice day on the pier!

Experiencia fantástica: So much to look at if you really take the time to enjoy the little things. Everywhere you look there is a new little treasure in the form of a life Thank you Rachel for answering all my questions throughout my time! Will be back

Experiencia fantástica: What a fantastic setup! So many amazing things to see in all the tanks.

Experiencia fantástica: Cool place, octopus was awesome

Experiencia fantástica: It was great never been there

Experiencia fantástica: We enjoyed it. Not really impressive but definitely worth a stop with kids.

Experiencia negativa: Overall, actually a cute aquarium and nice for kids. Fair price as well. But the octopus and its aquarium ruined the rest of my day. How can you keep such a beautiful and intelligent creature in a tank that is maybe twice as long as the animal itself? Absolutely unnecessary and very sad to be honest. I was upset afterwards that I went in.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! The interpreters are very knowledgeable and helpful, great place to hide from inclement weather

Experiencia fantástica: Cool place with all the native species

Experiencia fantástica: Cute little aquarium with some really cool animals in display. My 4 y.o. really enjoyed the touch tank.

Experiencia fantástica: There's a lot packed in to this little aquarium. Great for toddlers.

Experiencia fantástica: Very informative and what they're doing is here makes the entry fee well worth it definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Neat touch tank

Experiencia fantástica: Great little aquarium. The guy taking care of the place was really knowledgeable. So happy to see the octopus!!!

Experiencia fantástica: You can tell the people here care a lot about their animals. So informative and really an amazing way to meet nature in a way that is good for the environment. It is a small space but there is so much inside. Worth supporting for sure!

Experiencia fantástica: Small but oh man!! This place you can't miss. There is so much to see, touch and hear. I was visiting with my 4 year old daughter about month ago and we still can't stop talking about this place. Plus (huge plus) staff was incredibly friendly and was "blasting" us with their knowledge, happiness and such a positive vibe. We would like to thank you all so much for all you do. We will be back.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful local aquarium. The staff are knowledgeable and have been able answer every question my kids have thrown at them.

Experiencia fantástica: Small but alot of cool sea life, knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Small but spectacular! I can’t say enough good things about this aquarium. The staff and volunteers are friendly,knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate. The aquariums are all kept very clean and you can easily see everything. They have a large variety of local marine life and even a touch tank. So much packed into one room!

Experiencia positiva: Great learning experience for youth programs.

Experiencia fantástica: Really cool little place. Priced right! Definitely worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Small and nice place

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful selection of creatures

Experiencia fantástica: Sehr klein aber es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Die Kinder (und auch die Erwachsenen) hatten viel Spaß und man kann ein Menge von Tieren anfassen und beim füttern zu schauen.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome little aquarium. Recommend checking it out and the people there are very experienced and really friendly. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Cheap price, we got to see a giant pacific octopus and many other marine animals!

Experiencia fantástica: Jam packed full of fun! Don’t let the small stature of the building deter you, this place is very well laid out for maximum use of space and has many interesting exhibits and helpful staff. The touch pool was a favourite with the kids.

Experiencia fantástica: I was very impressed with this little aquarium. I’m a Wildlife Biologist, and love showing my kids all things nature, and this little aquarium was exactly what we were looking for. It’s so special for the kids to be able to get their hands on and touch these marine animals. The staff were very friendly, and had an impressive level of knowledge. Thank you for answering all my nerdy questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Great things come in small packages! This aquarium is a great family fun adventure! Every year, new marine life are gently captured by loving staff and volunteers and then at the end of the season the aquarium holds a public release event where visitors can help gently release the marine life back into its natural habitat. Fabulous fun! We go every year! Don’t forget to pick your choice for a name for this year’s Octopus!

Experiencia fantástica: If anybody is local and looking for great volunteer experience, this is an ideal location. Especially if you enjoy marine life.

Experiencia fantástica: Gorgeous! Incredible diversity & excellent use of space. Non profit, catches and releases the fish. Came here with my partner and our sketchbooks. Stayed way longer than we expected to .

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed our first visit here with 5 yr old grandson. Not too busy which gave us freedom to see the aquariums well. About 10 of them, with one hands on tank. Two staff are happy to answer questions. Lots to see. Beautiful.

Experiencia fantástica: Kleines, aber sehr interessantes Aquarium. Vielfältige lokale Tiere aus der Region, die nach der Saison wieder ins Meer zurück gebracht werden. Die Mitarbeiter waren super nett und haben viel erklärt. Man hatte auch die Möglichkeit einige Tiere anzufassen.

Experiencia fantástica: Really amazing little aquarium! Lots of fun for the kids with a touch tank, surprising variety of marine life in a natural setting.

Experiencia fantástica: Cute little aquarium, my younger kids loved it. The touch tank was their favorite!

Experiencia fantástica: So many things to see, this aquarium is very well set up and well stocked! Staff is very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Ok it's small but fascinating for the children and an excellent place to spend some time. Lots of crabs, fish, starfish, anemone and other local beasties in the tanks, in addition to the petting table. Not a significant investment of time or money, totally worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: Really nice small place especially with kids! My 3 and a half kid really enjoyed touching stats fish !!! Nice experience !

Experiencia positiva: A morning walk long the dock...

Experiencia negativa: We got discriminated against so we weren't able to get in but at least they refunded us. A shame in 2021. It's very small and didn't seem like there was a lot to see. Probably 5-10min to see everything so 8$ seemed overpriced but like I said, we didn't even make it inside because of discrimination.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun activity for kids.

Experiencia positiva: Small aquarium. More like a aquatic petting zoo. Younger kids have fun. Apparently, many of the residents on display are there only for a season, then let go.

Experiencia fantástica: Took the whole family and we all loved it! Kids got to do some hands on with some of the sea creatures and the staff is very knowledgeable of all the different species and creatures. Highly recommend a visit! We will most definitely be back.

Experiencia fantástica: You want to touch some sea creature go here. Nice place to visit. Small but worth it

Experiencia negativa: Incredibly disappointed. Very few things to see, read about or look at. This is literally the saddest aquarium I have ever seen, and I don't recommend it for anyone! It's unfortunate the municipality does not put more money into making a more significant aquarium to really showcase the many amazing species in the area!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for kids to learn about the ocean

Experiencia fantástica: It's small, but mighty! The young folks working there are so enthusiastic & very knowledgeable. It would be hard to leave the building without having learned something. Great interactive experience!

Experiencia positiva: Tiny yet amazing aquarium where you get up close and personal with local sea life. Also the staff are very knowledgeable and engaged in your discovery of the species.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff friendly and very knowledgeable

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for kids to learn about sea animals n staff was great!

Experiencia positiva: Great fun for the kids!

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting little acquarium. Well priced at $8.00 for an adult. Our family was alone so we didn't feel rushed at all. About an hour should do the circuit. Best thing is the animals are all released at the end of each season back to nature. Well done.

Experiencia fantástica: Great, knowledgeable staff. Very friendly and very patient with my Niece and Nephew!

Experiencia fantástica: Tiny but packed with interesting creatures! Give yourself an hour to explorexall this little museum has to offer.

Experiencia positiva: Small aquarium but nice set up. Lots of info.

Experiencia fantástica: Small aquarium with lots to see. I liked that tgey are non profit and the sea creatures get released back into the ocean.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing knowledge and staff is totally awesome

Experiencia positiva: Cute little Aquarium with some really cool things to see, including an octopus!

Experiencia fantástica: COOL place. Interpretive staff are very knowledgeable. Best $8 you will ever spend. We saw a great pacific octopus. Every creature comes from the harbour and is returned to the harbour. WOW.

Experiencia fantástica: Great for kids and adults. Knowledgeable staff that shpwand explain the local sea life. It is small but full of interesting things. Even get to "pet" some of the critters

Experiencia fantástica: Great little aquarium that is kid friendly. There is hands on for kids and an attendant on site to answer and questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Kids had a great time here

Experiencia fantástica: I great place to see and learn for the whole family, about our local aquatic friends :-)

Experiencia positiva: Voor een goed doel, gewoon even kijken. Niet groot, verwacht er niet te veel van.

Experiencia fantástica: Great for kids!

Experiencia fantástica: Took the kids here this week. Loved it. It's a small aquarium, but they've packed a lot of native species into it. The octopus was a hit and the kids loved the touch tanks. The staff were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: What a great idea.. it's small and intimate with very knowledgeable staff.. Ty for the amazing experience..

Experiencia fantástica: Geat place! Great price and the little souvenirs are fairly priced. Staff is very knowledgeable and always happy to educate us on the marine life. Thanks so much!

Experiencia positiva: It's like tacos. Cheap, good and satisfying. Plus they have Octopus

Experiencia fantástica: One of the highlights of the trip. We drove a little out of the way but it was so worth it. Tiny little shack but the staff obviously loves their jobs and the creatures were AMAZING! Would visit again if in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a last minute impulse decision for our group of 3 to go, and I am so glad we did. The aquarium is small, and the price of admissions reflects that. I brought my 15 year old sister from the interior in, and she fell in love with the touch tanks. The staff was very friendly and offered their expertise when asked. I would highly recommend this aquarium for a quick visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Our family really enjoyed this aquarium. It is a small facility but the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Our kids really enjoyed the touch tank. Worth the stop.

Experiencia positiva: Tiny but so cool! Loved touching all the animals and enjoying how much the staff tells u about everything there

Experiencia fantástica: Great small aquarium to educate anyone, but particularly children, about undersea life in the oceans of the World and in Campbell River especially. I attended with 19 month old granddaughter and she was truly fascinated by the various saltwater tanks with various sealife, including crabs, octopus, sea cucumbers, fish, plants, starfish, etc. It was a great experience where everything is obtained from the ocean in the Spring and returned at the end of summer to where they were caught. The aquarium is partially operated by volunteers, and it is very inexpensive to visit. In my view it is a top attraction and should be publicized as much as possible. The facility has an intimate family appeal for infants through to seniors such as myself.

Experiencia positiva: Offers lots to see for all ages.

Experiencia fantástica: Family loves it

Experiencia positiva: Small but quaint. The touch tank us amazing & the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. You can touch the sea cucumbers, sea urchins, several species of star fish. Take your time & enjoy the many sea water tanks that contain a vast array of sea life. Admission is $6 for seniors & worth every penny.

Experiencia positiva: Small aquarium with tanks filled with a fairly wide variety of ocean creatures from our local waters. Great for young children and adults alike.

Experiencia negativa: This place should be open on weekends

Experiencia negativa: It was closed

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing. So much for the children to do. Interaction with the sea life.. amazing. The kids have been talking about it since we left.

Experiencia positiva: Very cute and interactive. a little tight on space so moving around was a little difficult when busy. But over all our children loved the experience. The touch tank was their favourite by far and the staff are very knowledgeable

Experiencia negativa: It's the size of a large shed and not worth the entrance fee

Experiencia positiva: Its very small but its cool to look at the tanks
