Get a closer look at monsters of the deep such as the Megalodon and Spinosaurus at Vancouver Aquarium’s all-new, interactive exhibit, ‘Monsters of the Abyss.’

Featuring aquatic predators of the past and present, the exhibit offers the opportunity to learn about extinction-level events and why so many of these creatures are universally feared to this day.

”Monsters of the Abyss is a chance to explore and learn about aquatic predators. This exhibit unpacks these little-known species and their unique histories,” says Vancouver Aquarium Executive Director Clint Wright.

Guests can take in interactive displays and supersized skeletons of ‘monsters’ of the past as well as live exhibits featuring some of the ‘monsters’ that still haunt our waterways today. Guests feeling particularly brave can even take in daily expert ‘Animal Talks,’ with a chance to get up close and personal with some of the live animals featured in the exhibit.
