Feb 14 2025, 5:05 pm

Vancouver Aquarium’s new exhibit, Survival of the Slowest, is celebrating all things slow in the animal kingdom by giving you a sneak peek behind some of nature’s most inventive creatures.

From now until Monday, September 1, this limited-time exhibit lets you step into a world where being slow, small, and even weak can be a powerful survival strategy.

So pump the brakes, and take your time to explore how sometimes, it’s not all about being the fastest or even the strongest in this world… sometimes it’s all about being cunning and patient.

Meet these slow superstars

Throughout the exhibit, you can dive into interactive displays to uncover how these naturally slow critters, like the two-toed sloth, have adapted to survive in the wild.

Relax into daily Slow & Tell animal presentations so you can chill with the coolest sluggish creatures like the four-toed hedgehog and the armoured armadillo.
