Finding Ripley's Aquarium of Canada on Bremner Boulevard
The aquarium is at 288 Bremner Boulevard, right next to the CN Tower. Union Station is the closest station, and the SkyWalk from Union leads to the CN Tower next door.
There is no parking at the aquarium itself. You can use public lots nearby, such as the one at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Two accessible spaces are first come, first served.
The CN Tower stands next door, so a CN Tower Toronto ticket for the same day saves you a second trip.
How to book tickets for Ripley's Aquarium Toronto
On its own site, the aquarium sells Timed tickets and Flex tickets. A Timed ticket is for a date and a one-hour entry window. A 1 p.m. ticket, for example, lets you in between 1 and 2 p.m., and never earlier.
A Flex ticket needs no booking and is good for one visit within a year, but it costs more. Neither ticket lets you leave and come back.
