Our Family Guidebook

Top 15 Family-Friendly Activities

Visit Vancouver like a local! Here are the top 15 things we love to do as a family with our kids in beautiful Vancouver, BC. If you don’t have kids, this is also a great guidebook for you. Enjoy!

Science World at TELUS World of Science

Take a trip to Science World. We are there all the time especially when it’s raining since it’s dry inside. In the Summer season, make sure to check out the outdoor “Ken Spencer Science Park.” Also, don’t miss “Wonder,” an exhibit made especially for young kids 0-5 years old. Lastly, take a walk along the Seawall & play in the public playground, “Creekside Park,” the largest playground in Vancouver.

Granville Island

After Science World, we’re probably always in Granville Island. Visit the Kids Market, Public Market and make sure to take a ride on the Aquabus or False Creek Ferry. Another hit with kids & adults alike!

Seabus

Take the whole family on the Seabus to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. Trust us, a “bus” on the “sea” is guaranteed a winner for both kids & adults alike. Make sure to visit Lonsdale Quay Market & the Shipyards—there’s a spray park in the Summer & an ice rink in the Winter!

Jericho Beach

9 min. drive away from the house. We usually bike here along beautiful Point Grey Rd. Get a spot on the beach in front of the Jericho Tennis Club as it will be less busy because many think it’s part of the tennis club but the beach is open to the public.
