Time

8:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.

Venue

Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

Ripley's Aquarium of Canada flips the tanks into Halloween mode for Dark Waters, a 19+ after-hours night under the sharks.

The night

On Friday, October 30, 2026, from 8:00 p.m. to midnight, you get after-hours access to the galleries dressed for spooky season, dancing beneath the shark and sawfish tunnels, photo ops, live entertainment, pumpkin carving, tarot readings, and themed cocktails. Ticket perks typically include themed popcorn and gummy stations plus a complimentary souvenir photo.

Who it is for

Strictly 19+ with ID. Alcohol and food tokens are sold on site by card. This is a party night in an aquarium, not a kids' Halloween event. Capacity is limited.

Getting there

Ripley's Aquarium sits at 288 Bremner Boulevard next to the CN Tower. Union Station is the easy transit play. Book at ripleys.com before tickets disappear. Arrive near doors if you want the galleries before the dance floor peaks.
