NB Aquarium and Marine Centre
The New Brunswick Aquarium and Marine Centre is Atlantic Canada’s largest public aquarium. Here you can discover an unsuspected number and variety of fish and invertebrate species, native to the gulf of St-Lawrence and the Maritime’s lakes and rivers. Shapes and variety are everywhere, like for example, our fascinating collection of blue lobsters, which will simply amaze you.
We offer you a fascinating peek of these marine species that live in our tanks in which the natural habitat has been recreated to perfection and where the water is crystal clear. We presently have 31 display tanks, 1 outside touch tank and a 114 000 liters (25000 gallons) harbor seal tank. Allow 2 hours for a full visit.
