Touch a starfish, steer a ship, predict the weather and enjoy hands-on science fun at this aquarium and discovery center in Brockville. Highlighting the history, geography, ecosystem and impact of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding 1000 Islands, Aquatarium features exhibits based on area landmarks that kids can explore in less than two hours, including the mysterious Singer Castle library, the post office at Round Island and the “HMS Ontario” shipwreck.

For an added fee, kids ages 8 and up can practice their climbing skills on a ropes course, which features an optional “AquaDrop” finale.
