Stanley Park
Residents of Vancouver have so much love for the Stanley Park. This is the largest urban park in the city; it is also a national historic site. It’s a 400-hectare space which has attributes that can be found randomly in any West Coast habitat. By taking just a stroll, you’ll pass by the sea, through the rainforest and mountains and even along the seawall.
The Stanley Park is a place where you can enjoy your solitude, admire and enjoy nature, or play on the golf or tennis court.
Museum of Vancouver
The Museum of Vancouver is located in Vanier Park on Chestnut Street; it is the oldest museum in the city and the largest civic museum in the whole of Canada. The museum exhibits compelling temporary displays in addition to the permanent collection; the home of the museum also includes a planetarium.
The Seawall in Vancouver
The citizens of Vancouver go out whenever the weather is nice, and most of them end up at the Seawall which is the largest waterfront path in the world and even one of the must-see places in Vancouver.
Vancouver Aquarium
This is a centre for marine conservation, animal rehabilitation and research but it is also one of the best places to go in Vancouver. The Vancouver Aquarium is the largest one in Canada and one of the largest aquariums in North America. It is over 100,000 square feet and houses over 50,000 animals.
Animals are displayed in different galleries, depending on their origin. This place is a great place to visit with kids. It is even going to be a fun experience for the whole family, guaranteed!
