Earth Month: Plastic Free Month

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada has taken a proactive step towards environmental stewardship by removing plastic bottles from its café for the month of April and asking guests (and staff!) to fill out a survey! This will help us better understand what our guests think about plastic usage and align with our mission to educate visitors about marine conservation.

This initiative not only reduces plastic waste but also serves as an educational tool to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems. By demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada hopes to empower visitors to make eco-conscious choices and inspire them to take action for the planet!

Enjoy all the events and more at one of Ontario’s most popular and celebrated attractions.
