Kids Adventures
Vancouver is a great place to bring children any time of the year. In the winter
they can spend days exploring Science World, the Aquarium, The Space Centre and
local museums. Outside, they can go for beach or forest walks. Even in the rain,
walking in the woods is fun.
If they prefer snow, they can build snow men, ski, board or snow tube at Mt. Seymour
Provincial Park, Grouse Mountain or Cypress Mountain. If they prefer water, they
can swim in one of the many local indoor swimming pools.
In spring, they can visit the parks, go for beach or forest walks in the sun, skateboard
at a local skateboard park, attend the International Children's Festival, ride the
SkyRide to Grouse Mountain or visit one of the indoor kids' amusement centres.
In summer they can enjoy the giant outdoor pools at Second Beach in Stanley Park
or Kitsilano Beach, go to ballgames at Nat Bailey Stadium, watch spectacular fireworks,
ride the tiny ferries that ply the waters of False Creek, play golf at a local pitch
and putt and frolic at the beach.
In fall, they can watch movies being made and enjoy the magnificent show the trees
put on as their leaves turn from green to red, yellow and orange. Trees in Vancouver
in the fall often look like permanent fireworks.
Any time of the year kids can do most of these things as well as ride the SeaBus
and the SkyTrain, hang out at KidsBooks or the public library, visit the Children's
Market on Granville Island, walk across one of the suspension bridges on the North
Shore or throw rocks into the many North Shore creeks and rivers.
