Big Al's Aquarium

It's been a long time since I've been to such a large pet store with an 80s vibe. There were fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, these places are rarer these days. I liked the fish section, but the rest is still lacking. There are clearly not enough staff to take care of all these little creatures. Overall the place is good, but a little dirty.

I had a great experience with the Big Al’s Scarborough team. Jasmine helped me remove tangled fabric from my cockatiel’s wing and was incredibly gentle and knowledgeable. Amber also assisted during the process, and together they made everything smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate their care and support—the team is amazing! I am adding before & after photo .

Visited Big Al’s in Scarborough recently, and I have to say—it’s an amazing place, especially if you have kids or love pets. The variety of fish tanks, reptiles, birds, and small animals is just incredible. Kids were so excited walking around, looking at the colourful aquariums and playful animals.nnThe staff were friendly and helpful, and the place was well-organized and clean. It’s more than just a pet store—it’s an experience! You can easily spend an hour or two just exploring. Whether you’re looking to buy a pet or just want to enjoy a fun day out with the family, this place is totally worth a visit.nnHighly recommend for anyone who enjoys animals or wants to introduce their children to the world of pets in a safe, exciting way.

Got our 1st bunny from this location a week ago and we really appreciate that Jasmin made sure that we have all the essentials that we need before allowing us to take the bunny home. So Jasmin, if you pass by this review, please know that she is very well taken care of and is spoiled with lots of love and pets from us. The bunny was already litter trained since the day that we brought her home and is so confident that she can already free roam with supervision. Keep doing the work that you do and thank you for advocating for the animal’s well being.

This place is soo nice I wanna live there if you love animals and wildlife- you will be amazed by their collection and their care for every animals and plants . Highly recommend
