4D Fun at the Vancouver Aquarium

 I checked out the new 4D Theatre at the Vancouver Aquarium last week and was very impressed, not only with the technology but with the film content.  I really didn't know what 4D was until I was seated in 122 seat theatre - its like a 3D film with the added benefit of a wide variety of special effects including bubbles, wind, water and some others (I wouldn't want to give it all away!).  Everyone in the theatre seemed to be enjoying it - lots of laughter by young and old alike.  The film itself, called Planet Earth: Shallow Seas was excellent and lends itself nicely to what the Vancouver Aquarium does so well - help to connect visitors with our natural world.  You will be glad to know that the 4D experience is part of the general admission rates to the Aquarium - no extra charge required for 4D fun!
