Wayne and I have been to a few of the large aquariums in the U.S and I just love them. Oh, how I would love to pet the dolphins, and frolic with the seals. We went to the largest one in the U.S. at the Mall of America and I was just fascinated when a whale or a sting ray would float over my head so closely that I felt like I could just reach up and touch it.

Now this would be an adventure as long as I had a comfy mattress and someone to lift me up in the morning.
Sleepovers
A unique overnight adventure at the Vancouver Aquarium!
Sleeping with the belugas - an experience you'll never forget!
After everyone has gone home, and the Aquarium has closed its doors for the night, we invite you to join us for an exciting night of exploration! Stash your gear, meet your adventure leaders and get ready to explore the Aquarium through a variety of special activities, tours, presentations and guest speakers.
After a delicious evening snack, we head into our behind-the-scenes marine lab to continue on the second half of your adventure, where you can touch local invertebrates including live sea stars, sea urchins, anemones and more!
Bed down in front of one of the Aquarium's spectacular marine galleries. In the morning, after a calm continental breakfast, tour the Marine Mammal Deck and Amazon Free Flight Gallery as the Aquarium wakens for a new day.
The Aquarium offers two exciting and unique programs:
The Family Themed Programs are offered to the general public: families, adults, individuals and Aquarium members through a variety of special activities, presentations, tours and guest speakers based on that evening's theme (selected dates)
The Ecosystem Expedition Program is designed to meet a school-based curriculum and environmental badge requirements for Scouts and Guides. Fun-filled and interactive activities focusing on the various ways animals, plants and humans interact within each ecosystem (seven days a week)
Hugs and Fishes, A Valentine’s Sea-fari - Spend Valentine’s at the Vancouver Aquarium on Saturday February 13, 2010. No kids, no crowds! Just you, a few other couples, and 70,000 amazing animals.
To get started on your journey, please call (604) 659-3504 or e-mail us at: sleepovers@vanaqua.org.
