About
Visitors can get a close look at the fish and invertebrates that live just offshore, from the creatures of the tide pools to animals rarely seen from the beach. It makes a good stop for families and anyone curious about the marine life of the west coast.
The aquarium is on the traditional territory of the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ (Ucluelet First Nation). It opens for a season each year; during the 2026 season it was open daily from 10 am to 4:30 pm, with last entry at 4 pm, holidays included. Check before visiting outside the summer months. The aquarium also welcomes donations. Phone 250-726-2782.
