Lol... Yeah.... The success of the endeavour will depend on how well rendered( design/build, etc.) the project is upon completion. I haven't heard much about this new Toronto Aquarium( design, scope, focus, etc.).... I wonder if this will be Toronto attempting to be a 'World Class' city with 'World Class' attractions because it's a World Class city, etc.,....... Sincerely, Jon .'I can't tell you how excited I am to watch fish that have brains no bigger than a lemon swim around in a tank'.
highly doubt it. they will be a class trip destination for all schools that are within 2 hrs. if they don't rape families on ticket prices then people could bring thier family every few months as the fish and habitats change.. I think they will do well.If this Aquarium doesn't have a "WOW" factor it will be a flop and close within a few yrs.Personally,I hope it has a "WOW" factor.It looks pretty small from the outside.I hope they didn't cheap out on it.
They have announced and delayed at least 4 opening datesSo when's it open? Their site said it would be opening in September and now it says soon. I made plans to be in Toronto in early November with this in mind. Of course it's something to do between sps but I do need to have some legit reason to visit.
Have a good look at the ROM addition sometime... What did that cost...? 200 million? 220 million...? And for what...? A profoundly ugly eyesore...? As far as this new Toronto Aquarium is concerned specifically, one could note that Toronto has such a strong marine and nautical heritage......... Sincerely, Jon .If this Aquarium doesn't have a "WOW" factor it will be a flop and close within a few yrs.Personally,I hope it has a "WOW" factor.It looks pretty small from the outside.I hope they didn't cheap out on it.
I was hoping they would have the sunfish. Too bad I guess.It's a little underwhelming if you have been to other larger aquariums... the largest fish they had was the sawfish, I believe... while other aquariums have cool residents such as the orcas, beluga whales, whale sharks, etc. What was overwhelming however was the crazy lineup outside on the weekend and the sheer number of people packed into the aquarium with their tiny tots... There are yearly passes for kids/families I assume, but not much to impress a grown-up with.
This was my favorite part of the aquarium next to the movator taking you through an underwater tunnel:
That's really sad to hear. I had high hopes for it. Will still check it out once the lineups have dwindled.It's a little underwhelming if you have been to other larger aquariums... the largest fish they had was the sawfish, I believe... while other aquariums have cool residents such as the orcas, beluga whales, whale sharks, etc. What was overwhelming however was the crazy lineup outside on the weekend and the sheer number of people packed into the aquarium with their tiny tots...

Hmm.Sounds like a place to check out as long as it's not a weekend or school holiday.Maybe I will check it out when I come up for the car show.Kill 2 birds with one stone.It's a little underwhelming if you have been to other larger aquariums... the largest fish they had was the sawfish, I believe... while other aquariums have cool residents such as the orcas, beluga whales, whale sharks, etc. What was overwhelming however was the crazy lineup outside on the weekend and the sheer number of people packed into the aquarium with their tiny tots...
