My experience at the Aquarium is similar to Robert's. If you are not familiar with Sidney I would also add in some beach time after the aquarium, a trip to the fish market on the short pier and a walk out on the larger pier where they fish for crab. Glass beach is at the foot of Beacon and nice to beachcomb. A nicer beach is off Amherst and 3rd. Lovely at low tide. There are lots of coffee shops and ice cream near the pier. Enjoy your day!
Free parking is available in a downstairs parking lot. There are several spots reserved for Shaw customers. Apart from that there is lots of street or pay parking nearby.
