Although I did not hold any of the marine life, all the animals were very interesting to view.

With their bright colours, some of the animals at the Petty Harbour Mini Aquarium look like they could come from tropical coral reef! It's amazing to see the diversity that can be found in Newfoundland and even better that visitors actually get to hold them. I had never had the chance to hold live sea stars and urchins before my first visit to the Mini Aquarium.
Les animaux de l'aquarium nous présentent des couleurs fantastiques; c'est surprenant qu'ils proviennent tous de Terre-Neuve! Je n'avais jamais eu la chance de tenir une étoile de mer ou un oursin de mer vivant avant ma visite à l'aquarium de Petty Harbour.
A place to discover the local marine life of Newfoundland. Come explore 30 aquariums, 6 of which are touch tanks!
