Vancouver Aquarium to transform outdoor pools with new walk-through underwater tunnel

Under the ownership of Herschend Family Entertainment, the aquarium is proposing to make repairs to the pool waterproofing, replace underwater viewing windows, and replace life-support mechanical systems and other infrastructure, which will enhance water quality, resulting in improved animal welfare, according to Vancouver Park Board staff.

In the process, the renovation will result in pools with a smaller surface area and a reduction in overall water volume, and these tanks will subsequently be repurposed to introduce a new themed habitat.

A layout plan of the proposed renovation also appears to show that one of the smaller pools at the southwest corner of the B.C. Wild Coast area will be removed and replaced with a small building that includes a “beach,” stair tower, storage, and other back-of-house facilities.
