Fun Activities for Kids In Vancouver Canada!

Vancouver Aquarium is a great place to take Kids. Its always a fun day out! Full of Excitement and very Educational at the same time. The kids have such a good time, they dont even realise how much they are learning! There are always many shows throughout the day. Educational talks are also included in the admission. You also have the option to go behind the scenes and find out what it’s like to feed and train the Animals of the Vancouver Aquarium alongside their trainers. Animal Encounter opportunities include Beluga Whales, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Sea Turtles and White-Sided Dolphins! A new addition to the Vancouver Aquarium is the Beautiful Baby Beluga ....TIQA!

Science World is another great favorite of Kids...with its hands-on Science Centre offering Entertaining and Educational experiences. Science World contains five permanent galleries (Eureka, the Sara Stern Search Gallery, KidsSpace, Our World, Visual Illusions), a Special Exhibitions Galleries, The Science Theatre, and the Alcan OMNIMAX Theatre, as well as a variety of Centre Stage Shows!

The Cupcake shop..with such a huge selection of very Delicious Cupcakes... It really does meet all the taste buds of every individual!

The Museum of Anthropology is thoroughly enjoyed by all kids and adults alike! with the Monumental North Coast Art, Totem Poles and Carvings..it really is very highly recommended to all! As quoted by The Museum "The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia is world-renowned for its collections, research, teaching, public programs, and community connections. It is also acclaimed for its spectacular architecture and unique setting on the cliffs of Point Grey. Unprecedented opportunities for research, teaching, and public enjoyment."

Also great fun is The AquaBus, the shuttles runs across the water. Very affordable! Takes you to places like Granville Island where there is a great Kids Market, Public Market, Art School, Shops, Restaurants, Theatres, Galleries ...and more.

You can also take the Ferry to Victoria, BC! It is such a Beautiful Place.

If you have the right clothing (warm and waterproof in the colder months), Vancouver has lots of great places to go for walks which are family friendly... eg, Lynn Canyon, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park..

If you're here in the Summer, Steveston Village is a very nice place. (In Winter, it is a bit windy.)

Get yourselves to The Eatery. It's a very fun and kid friendly sushi restaurant in Kitsilano. You won't regret it.

Also consider checking out the Maritime Museum..you can climb aboard the St. Roch, the first boat to circumnavigate N. America. And there are loads kid-friendly, interactive things to do including costumes and drawers to explore. It's on the little water taxi route so it's easy to get there from Science World or Granville Island

A great way to explore Vancouver with kids is on the Big Bus, an open (in good weather) vintage double-decker. Hop on and off throughout the day to see all of Vancouver's top attractions.

Take the Skyride to Grouse Mountain! You will be rewarded with a Spectactular view of Vancouver and the Pacific Ocean.

Look forward to Seeing you here in Beautiful Vancouver Canada!

Much Love, Sandy:)
