Whats better? the vancouver aquarium or the Vancouver zoo?

Question

I cant choose where to go...

Answer 1

Aquarium for sure.

Answer 2

aquarium hands down... its downtown in stanley park.  Its a world class facility

the "vancouver zoo" is way out in aldergrove east of the city and not a great zoo overall rather a shabyy collection of someone would say poolry maintained animals. .  If you've never been to one okay or if little kids but it certainly isnt a world class zoo like Toronto or San Diego

Answer 3

Like others have said, the aquarium. The setting is better, its in the middle of Stanley Park, much more informative exhibits, the animals are treated better, you have nice cool areas to go into on a hot day, just generally a better experience overall. Going to the GV Zoo involves a trip on the freeway to Aldergrove, which can take over an hour, and lots of walking to see some bored animals, usually in the middle of a field several hundred feet away, lying down. The zoo doesn't have the greatest reputation for providing the best environment either, whereas the aquarium is connected with a research facility and does rehabilitation and has breeding programs for endangered species.
