Very disappointed. There were only about 5 fish in there and 4 frogs. All the windows were dirty as well. Not worth the $7 entry fee at all. More

There is a single viewing room that looks out into a wild fish stream. Sometimes there's fish,sometimes there aren't. If it's a dry summer, there may not even be much water. They have a few other lackluster displays. The best part of the building is the convention room. More

Located in Pippy Park in the east end of the city. A very unique feature is a part actually located under the water in the ajoining river. Watch the fish being feed. More

Nice to view this once. Right in the city so not out of the way. A good selection of fish and able to view right on the floor of the ocean. More

Speaking as "the wife" in the previous review, I thought I would put in my "two cents." Planning a trip to the Fluvarium should include a feeding of the fish.
