One of the city’s most unique date experiences is back in time for Valentine’s next month.

Nights at the Aquarium, the exclusive dining experience at the Vancouver Aquarium, is happening on Saturday, February 11, and Tuesday, February 14.

The popular event offers guests a chance to dine among the over 65,000 animals at the aquarium. And yes, solo diners are welcome to join the fun.

The mouth-watering menu includes Aburi albacore, braised beef short rib, or cast iron seared sablefish. Make sure you save room for dessert, which is chocolate and roasted banana ganache tart.

You’re also invited to explore the aquarium before and after your meal, making the evening a cool chance to observe the tanks of sea creatures during the aquarium’s after-dark hours.

Get up close with African penguins and then meet the aquarium’s interpretive team who will share some of the animals’ intimate behaviours.
