Night at the Aquarium is the Vancouver Aquarium’s signature gala fundraiser to raise money to benefit the Aquarium’s many education, conservation and marine science endeavors. This high-profile evening will provide Vancouver’s philanthropic and corporate leaders with a unique way of experiencing the Aquarium as the magical backdrop for a splendid gala evening. Guests are encouraged to explore the galleries and enjoy a full evening of food and wine stations and live entertainment scattered throughout the Aquarium.

The Vancouver Aquarium is a not-for-profit organization. One hundred percent of all proceeds from Night at the Aquarium will go to the Aquarium’s education, research and conservation activities.
