Close to kids friendly places like Deep Bay Marine field station, Goats on roof in Coombs, North Island Wildlife Recovery Center, and Morningstar Farms. Qualicum Bay Town center is great for early afternoon walks. Awesome paths along the beaches as well. Fisheries close by but closed for upgrade when we were there. Staffs (and other visitors) were great with kids in pool area. And we were given a very warm welcome too!
