I love aquariums, both the smaller home version and the larger amusement park versions. Thus, after bemoaning the absence of one in Toronto (the largest frickin’ city in Canada), you can only imagine my enthusiasm when the Ripley’s company said they would build one in Toronto near two other major city landmarks, the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre.
Well, last month, the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada finally opened, and on Wednesday, I finally visited it.
Over the next few days, I will display some of the photos I took at the aquarium. Today, I’ll focus on the amazing walk-through shark tank.
-
- Who knows what lurks beyond the mouth of the coral cave
-
- Fish swim unphased in the crystal waters
-
- A regular coral rush hour
-
- Near and far, the sharks circle quietly
-
- Fan coral provides little protection
-
- Light beams through the water to illuminate the ray’s path
-
- A ray skims the floor as a shark lurks on high
-
- Mouth open because no one turns down a free meal
-
- The current splashes aerate the waters of the reef
-
- The curving walls provide rippling patterns
-
- She’ll be coming ’round the coral as she comes

Great photos! Just the sight of their teeth makes me shiver. Diving with great whites is still high on my list thought.
