Discovery Passage Aquarium

Discovery Passage Aquarium is a non-profit, hands-on marine facility located at the base of Discovery Pier in Campbell River, British Columbia, dedicated to celebrating the remarkable aquatic life of the Discovery Passage and surrounding coastal waters. Operating on a collect-and-release model, all marine specimens are gathered locally each spring and returned to their natural habitat at the close of the season, underscoring a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Visitors can see, touch, and learn about local marine species and their habitats in an engaging and accessible setting. The aquarium also offers summer camps, after-school clubs, and school educational programs, as well as an Explorer Lab and the Discovery Passage Knowledge Hub for deeper learning. Seasonal hours run from spring through fall, making it an ideal destination for families and marine enthusiasts visiting Vancouver Island's northern shore.
