5 Things To Do With Kids in Vancouver<\/h2>\n

Vancouver is a beautiful city with so much to see and do. It\u2019s the perfect place to take your family on a vacation. With two toddlers of my own, we\u2019ve had so many adventures and there is never a day with nothing to do.<\/p>\n

It was quite a task to narrow my list down to 5 fun things to do with your kids in Vancouver because there is so much to choose from. So I enlisted the help of some experts, my five and three-year old.\u00a0 Here is our list of 5 favorite things to do in Vancouver, all year round.<\/p>\n

1. Vancouver Aquarium<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vancouver Aquarium is a must see for families. There are beluga whales, dolphins, otters and lots of other sea life along with underwater observatories, shows, kid\u2019s activities and talks. The aquarium is educational, it\u2019s exciting and it\u2019s a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of aquatic life. Located in Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium is a perfect family vacation destination.<\/p>\n

2. Maple Wood Farm<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What kids don\u2019t like farms? Maple Wood Farm is the perfect opportunity for families to get up close and personal with all those animals they read about in books like horses, rabbits, goats and pigs. There\u2019s a petting zoo, milking demonstration, pony rides and you can even feed the animals. Maple Wood Farm is located in North Vancouver with lots of free parking and less than $5 admission for kids.<\/p>\n

3. Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Close to Maple Wood Farm is one of Vancouver\u2019s most famous tourist attractions, the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Now this place is more than just a bridge. Not only does it have a swaying bridge that\u2019s 450 feet long and hangs 230 feet high above the river, it\u2019s a park filled with history, fun and adventure. Your whole family will love the guided tours, treetop adventure, cliff walk and so much more!<\/p>\n

\"granville<\/p>\n

4. Granville Island<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Granville Island is definitely a treasure in Vancouver. Located next to the water, this family destination has North America\u2019s largest, free, outdoor waterpark, a huge Public Market where you can grocery shop, eat lunch and find local, handcrafted items to take back home and great live entertainment. Your kids will also love the aqua bus and the bead store where they can create their own jewelry.<\/p>\n

\"Stanley<\/p>\n

5. Stanley Park<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

No trip to Vancouver is complete without a visit to Stanley Park. Right in the heart of downtown, there is so much fun to be had at Stanley Park. You can rent bikes to ride around the seawall, play at 2nd<\/sup> beach or the large playground. You can also hike, take a horse drawn carriage ride or visit the Teahouse. The family fun never ends at Stanley Park.<\/p>\n
