Reviews of The Fluvarium (Zoo)

Victor Heng

We visited on Earth day and had a great time with all the visiting organizations. The displays are a great introduction to freshwater ecosystems and the importance of water. Lower level has displays of native fish life which were alright but very sparse looking, particularly when compared with the windows out to the Brook, which was fantastic. I would have loved to see a bit more on freshwater invertebrates just because I think they are so cool.

A very interesting place very enjoyable.

The fluvarium was definitely a unique experience. My 16-month old daughter loved standing up next to the fish tank watching the fish swim by. We also caught feeding time, which included a discussion about the various species. The place is a bit dated and could use some updating, but aside from that it was a great experience, and affordable.

Amanda Dawe

Was there with my Kindergarten class. They have great educational programs.

Troy Fudge

Great place for a big function. Also a great place to bring kids. Can see pond trout from under water windows downstairs. Also has a nice walking trail that goes around Long Pond.

Robin de Bled

A great learning experience for kids around 5 and older. Younger kids will enjoy looking at the fish but won't learn a whole lot. Adults will probably not find it engaging enough to be worthy of a long visit, but seeing the fish in a natural river environment through underground windows is a unique experience.

Tracy Suerich

Interesting, but not one of the top ten educational visits in town.

Kalynn Cameron

Great, inter activate learning zone for kids that love animals and the outdoors!

Mihiran Pathmika

Good for kids

S. M. JAFAR Sadek

Wow! it was a good place for small gathering.

Emerson Best

Was here with a work function. The place is beautiful but the space is a little too cozy for big parties. They were very accommodating though, which was nice.

Stephen Cousins

Even though some of the displays could use some touching up, this is an enjoyable place. Being able to look into a river through a window is worth the visit. The nature paths surrounding the building are also very nice.

(Translated) A discovery !!! Water interpretation center. Well-illustrated explanations of the properties of water, freshwater environments, animals and fish that inhabit it. Super beautiful trail around the center, and especially an aquarium / glass section of the stream that touches the walls of the center: we observe the trout and insects and plants of the stream. I liked the photos and explanations of the rehabilitation of the stream. The only downside, several exhibits were broken. On the other hand, we met a trainer who told us that the center receives a large number of schoolchildren who had the chance to visit it more than once a year! (Original) Une découverte!!!Centre d'interprétation de l'eau. Explications bien illustrées des propriétés de l'eau, des environnements d'eau douce , des animaux et poissons qui y habitent. Super beau sentier autour du centre, et surtout un aquarium/coupe vitrée du ruisseau qui touche les murs du centre:on y observent les truites et insectes et plantes du ruisseau. J'ai bien aimé les photos et explications de la réhabilitation du cours d'eau. Le seul bémol, plusieurs exhibits étaient brisés. Par contre on a rencontré un formateur qui nous a indiqué que le centre rececait un grand nombre d'écoliers qui avaient la chance de le visiter plus d'une fois par an!

I've been there before and probably left a detailed review so since this visit only included a ride around the trails I'll limit it to that. The trails are meant for walking - not biking. But I'm careful around pedestrians and give them right of way so I break this rule regularly. With that being said the trails are nice to do a leisurely ride around the pond. They're wide and in good shape.

Nolan White

Great place to visit with lots of exhibits that are great for young and old alike

Adam Burry

My kids love visiting the fluvarium. They have a number of live animals on display, including large windows looking out into the brook. We also love the trail around the pond.

This is an underrated place in the city and should be much more prominent than it is. I have been there for events and have enjoyed it. I have been there for birthday parties and had a great time. I have been on tours and learned so much. Such a wonderful place and a great place for sliding nearby in the wintertime. Oh, and lots of parking

Celebrated a wedding here. Perfect size, great staff, lots of room for all the tables and dancing of course. Great venue, bit of a steep gravel pathway behind fluvarium led down to a super cute covered area with benches and lake, good for photo ops!

It is showing it's age and not much new in displays but fun for kids to see fish in the river

Kerry Ryan

This was one of the best venues I've been for a kids birthday party. The kids loved it, and many parents commented on what a great venue/party it was. If you're looking for an affordable option for your kids party, check out the Fluvarium. You will not be disappointed.

Peter Toy

Good for children. Not that interesting for adults.

Stephen Czarnuch

Great spot in st. John's for kids and adults alike. Property and building are in great shape, staff are helpful, and experience is quite unique. Kids parties are also fun for younger children. Nice spot!

The Fluvarium is a great place to visit and learn about freshwater ecosystems. You get to see underwater in a river near one of of St. John’s most loved ponds. Excellent exhibits and surrounded by great walking trails.
