Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea
Museums & Culture · Sidney · From $19.50
An aquarium and discovery centre on Sidney's waterfront devoted entirely to the Salish Sea: more than 3,500 animals across 160 local species, from octopus to jellyfish. A self-guided visit takes about an hour, and it pairs naturally with a walk along the Sidney pier.
