Aza Aquarium

Aza Aquarium on Taschereau Boulevard in Brossard is a specialty fish and aquarium store on the South Shore that has earned a strong local reputation — 4. 7 stars from nearly 500 reviews — for the quality and variety of its livestock. For families, it functions as a free, low-key aquarium experience that is especially convenient for those living in the Brossard, Longueuil, or South Shore areas who do not want to cross the bridge for every outing.

The store carries a wide selection of tropical freshwater fish, cichlids, bettas, goldfish varieties, and saltwater specimens depending on availability. The tanks are well-maintained and clearly labeled, which makes it educational as well as entertaining. Kids who are curious about aquatic life can spend a genuine hour here without running out of things to look at.

Parents like the relaxed atmosphere — there is no admission fee, no time limit, and no pressure. Staff are knowledgeable and patient with kids who have questions. Stroller access is manageable inside the store. The location on Taschereau means you are already near dozens of food options for lunch or dinner afterward.

Because the store does not have a website listed in standard directories, it is worth calling ahead or checking Google for current hours before making a dedicated trip. Open Tuesday through Sunday with varying hours depending on the day.
