For this, you normally need to buy a ticket to enter, but I actually just purchased a membership for the year before. It wasn&#8217;t too bad, and to my knowledge, you&#8217;re actually helping the organization to help the animals.<\/p>\n<p>And so it got me thinking \u2014 there are a lot of deals locally, here at least, where you could buy an annual pass for pretty much the same price as one, let&#8217;s just say, visit to the area in general. For example, I know there are other spots like the Capilano Suspension Bridge, where you could buy a day pass and then use that same amount to essentially get a yearly pass so you can keep visiting it.<\/p>\n<p>So with this in general, it made me think of the value of just looking for these types of deals if you&#8217;re looking for things to do. I already visited the aquarium once earlier in the year because I had some type of assignment where I needed to find animals to film and I thought that would be it. But when stuff started to come up again and again \u2014 for example, they had a FIFA event where the otters were eating these, let&#8217;s just say, FIFA-shaped ice \u2014 and now this with a Halloween event, I&#8217;m just thinking that&#8217;s a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re someone who has a family, I can imagine that being a good way to really get your dollar to go the farthest, per se. Because when it comes to doing hobbies and activities, it doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive. You don&#8217;t always have to spend, let&#8217;s just say, an extra fifty dollars for each person just to enjoy the weekend. Sometimes these places have new events all the time, so that&#8217;s one way to try to find activities to do. Look for those local memberships that last for a whole year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I decided to visit the aquarium because they said there were supposed to be some Halloween stuff on display such as a diver carving a pumpkin in water.
