Highlights

  1. 01.

    Explore the waters of the world in the heart of downtown Toronto with 18,000 animals, 100 interactive displays, and multiple touch exhibits featuring stingrays and cold-water tidepool animals. Check out the immersive underwater viewing tunnel, stare in amazement at the extensive jellyfish collection, and soak in a live dive show!

  2. 02.

    Immerse yourself in the vivid living world of coral reefs in the new Graffiti Reef: Painted by Nature, which brings the energy of Toronto's street art scene into the Aquarium. Original murals by Toronto street artists bring color and vibrancy to the exhibit, echoing the shapes, patterns and colors of coral reefs, and creating a visual dialogue between Toronto's streets and the ocean's reefs.

    Explore the Great Lakes and Canada's surrounding seas in the Canadian Waters Gallery, where you'll find 17 curated habitats that spotlight the diversity of Canada's treasures, including the stunning Pacific Kelp exhibit, which features a wave maker that simulates the surge conditions of the British Columbia shoreline.

Toronto CityPASS
Great Toronto attractions
Something for everyone: arts, sciences, history, entertainment, and for every age group. You can be confident in seeing something unique, worthwhile, and proper to the city itself.
Must have
CityPASS is just something you need when you come for the first time to the city. Admissions are must see, and if you save money even better.
Fabulous!
I found a CityPASS for Toronto and bought it. After that the whole trip fell into our laps! There is so much to do in Toronto that we were in over our heads before this! The CityPASS has so much to offer for every kind of person!
Great deal! A must try for all
Great price for amazing attractions. Have used it every time friends and family visit from outside the country. Love it!
Worth it for those travelling on a budget
I don't usually buy passes like this because usually you're paying for things you don't really want to do. And as a backpacker every dollar counts! However, I had planned on visiting the Toronto Zoo, the CN Tower and The Royal Ontario Museum and those three alone would have been worth more than the cost of the CityPASS.
Toronto CityPASS is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 11246.
