    For my family to step in the doors will be $120. I don't think so.

    I think I may get an annual pass for myself. $100/adult so it looks like it will be cheaper that way. I'm sure I'll make 3 visits/yyr

    I have a son that has wanted to be a marine biologist since he was 2 & he is now a teen. So a family pass is the way to go for us. I think i will buy it as his big Christmas gift.

    Thanks for the post OP! I hadn't heard of this yet! Looks awesome. My kids would love it. We may just have to make a trip to Toronto in the next few months!

    If it's an all day thing that is not such a bad deal. I usually calculate the price per hour for these types of attractions.

    If you spend 6 hours there that's not bad, but if it's like the Biodome here which can be done in 2 hours it sucks.

    I think they are timed tickets...this was on their FB page a while ago:
    "This SPECIAL pre-opening ticket offer will be an "anytime" premium ticket for the price of "timed" ticket. Once purchased they can be used anytime after we open. This SPECIAL offer is only available until we set our official opening date!"

    The times one is just for the date...so if you know you are going tmrw you buy it for then. Where as the no time one is good for a year from purchase. This is what I gathered from the website.

    From website:
    Regular Tickets help you plan your visit. When you purchase Regular Tickets, you will pick your date and time. Once you are at the aquarium, you may stay as long as you wish.

    Anytime Tickets allow you to choose when YOU want to visit the aquarium. Tickets are good for one year from date of purchase. With an Anytime Ticket, you may visit the aquarium at anytime during operating hours.

    Last night the ticket price section was down so I wasn't able to post prices. I don't live in Ontario but the next time I'm in Toronto I'm definitely visiting this aquarium. I've loved the ocean, marine life since I was young.
