What to\u00a0do in Vancouver<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Gastown<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Robson Square Ice Rink<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This ice rink is nestled in downtown Vancouver, adjacent from the Pacific Centre Mall. Not only does the rink take on a beautiful glow at night, there is no charge to ice skate. If you don\u2019t own your own pair of skates, they are available to rent.<\/p>\n

Granville Island<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Granville Island is the perfect place to visit when you are travelling with children. One way to reach the island is by the ferry, which we all know is a huge thrill to children.<\/p>\n

\"granville<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you reach the island, visit the Public Market<\/a>. There is\u00a0a variety of shops, fresh produce, and food, it is guaranteed to be a hit for everyone.<\/p>\n

\"public<\/a><\/p>\n

Stanley Park<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a walk, or a ride on a horse drawn carriage, through this 1,000 acre park. Just bundle up before you head out if travelling in the colder months. Make time to visit this park ads it truly is one of the best things to do in Vancouver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"2H2A2425\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vancouver Aquarium<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is plenty to do and see at this the aquarium<\/a>. Take your time to enjoy all of the sea life. Some of my favourites are the beluga whales, dolphins, and the jelly fish.<\/p>\n

Grouse Mountain<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vancouver has some amazing places for skiing and snowboarding. One of the closest and family friendly mountains to visit is Grouse Mountain.<\/a> Take in the scenery and keep an eye out for the local wild life. You can ride on the gondola up to the top of the mountain and enjoy an array of activities. They even offer zip lining during the winter!<\/p>\n

Candy Town<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are visiting Vancouver towards the end of November head on over to Yaletown to enjoy the Christmas festivities for FREE at their Candy Town festival. Ring in the Holidays with sleigh rides and carollers!<\/p>\n

Museum of Anthropology<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This museum is located on the University of British Columbia campus. Although there is a ton to see at the museum, one of its greatest features are the incredible totem poles.<\/p>\n

Chinatown<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Experience the Chinese culture first hand by stopping in Vancouver\u2019s Chinatown. Grab some yummy food and take advantage of the Chinese New Year parades and festivities.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7201\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vancouver Lookout<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not miss out on this spectacular 360 degree view of Vancouver.\u00a0Point out all of the locations you have visited or plan to visit with your children. When you are at that location, ask them if they remember looking out at that spot when they visited the Lookout!<\/p>\n
