Ripley's Aquarium Toronto Groundbreaking

VVC had the priviledge of staging the groundbreaking for Ripley's Aquarium Toronto, set to open in 2013, on August 17th, 2011.

The 135,000 square foot attraction at the foot of the CN Tower will be one of the largest in North America, housing more than 13,500 sea and freshwater creatures in 5.7-million litres of water.

The aquarium will feature a unique large moving walkway through an acrylic tunnel below the Shark Lagoon that will house 10-to-12-foot sand tiger sharks, largetooth sawfish and other species.

The main exhibit will have a tropical reef tank as well as Great Lakes exhibits and Atlantic and Pacific habitats. There will also be a large retail and restaurant complex.
