Giant Plastic Tap art installation
10 May, 2022 - 8 June, 2022

An iconic, three-story-tall Giant Plastic Tap art installation by celebrated Canadian artist and activist Benjamin Von Wong, spewing single-use plastic waste all over the entrance of Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada. Come be a part of history to share this simple but urgent message: it’s time to #TurnOffThePlasticTap. This striking symbol of the global plastic pollution crisis will be on display until World Oceans Day on June 8, 2022.
Hosted at Ripley’s Aquarium
Cost: Free viewing of installation at entrance; Aquarium admission to go inside
