6 ways to get a discount on Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada tickets
Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in Toronto is one of the city’s most popular attractions.
Here’s how you can get a discount on admission to the Toronto aquarium:
Ways to save $3-$5 a ticket
Save $3 when you buy a ‘Timed Ticket’: Go on the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada website and pre-purchase your ticket for a specific time the next day or beyond.
Save $5 with a ‘Shark After Dark’ ticket: Purchase a ticket online to visit the Toronto aquarium between the hours of 5:00 P.M. and 9:00 PM.
Save $5 on Saturdays with a ‘Rise and Shine’ ticket: Buy a ticket online to visit the aquarium on a Saturday between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 AM.
Senior Citizen? Save $5 on Admission on Tuesdays: You don’t even have to buy your ticket online. Just walk up to the ticket window between the hours of 2:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. and you’ll save a fin (i.e. $5) on your ticket.
Save on Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada with the CN Tower combo ticket
If your plans while in Toronto include visiting both Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada and the CN Tower you should consider getting a Sea the Sky Combo Ticket.
When you buy the combo ticket you’ll pay less for admission than if you bought a ticket to these two Toronto attractions separately.

Get an Annual or Family Pass and save even more on the Toronto Aquarium
If you know you’re going to be back visiting Toronto Aquarium a few more times during the year than you’ll save the most by purchasing an Annual Pass or Family Pass to Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada.
All it takes is 2.5 visits to the Aquarium and an Annual Pass is paid for.
It only takes 2 visits using a Family Pass to get your money’s worth–any visits after that and you and your family are in for FREE.
Plus, both passes give you additional discounts on a long list of other things that take place at the Aquarium.

Check the Attractions Ontario website for Toronto coupons
If you’re visiting Toronto for just a day or two, and only have time to see one or two attractions, a pass or combo ticket may not make sense.

It’s a great source for printable or downloadable coupons for attractions throughout the province, including Toronto.

Want a deal on a sporting event or concert? Shop last minute
Toronto is home to teams in the NHL, PWHL, MLB, NBA, WNBA and the CFL. Plus, being a major city, there are always great bands and productions taking the stage in the city as well. As everyone knows, tickets to these events are expensive. But don’t give up hope.
From time to time it’s possible to get a ticket cheaper. The best strategy is to wait until just before the event is starting or when its actually begun. Then check Stubhub or SeatGeek. Often you can get tickets for less than the face value price.

New deals are added to Groupon every week. That’s why it’s an excellent website to check prior to and even when you’re visiting Toronto.

Viator may have a sale on the Toronto outing or attraction you want
In addition to Groupon before we visit a city we always check the Viator website too. We recommend you do the same as you may discover Viator has negotiated a discounted price for a Toronto attraction or tour that will appeal to you.
