Vancouver and Victoria Island make an interesting combination, especially for a family holiday.

Stanley Park
Stanley Park is a 988-acre rainforest. It has a petting zoo, a miniature railway, and an aquarium. Brockton Point has totem poles.

Kid’s Market
The mall on Granville Island is dedicated to children and is most probably the only such market in North America. It features a Lilliputian entranceway to bookstores, craft and toy stores, play areas and a water park.

Capilano Suspension Bridge & Park
Vancouver’s Capilano Suspension Bridge is high above Capilano River.

Langley National Historic Site
The site is exactly at the spot where the Hudson’s Bay Company built their first settlement in 1827. The landmark comes to life with costumed craftspeople, demonstrating, woodworking skills, coppering and blacksmithing.

Pacific Undersea Gardens
This is an underwater observatory where children can view sea animals and fish of the Pacific coast.

Whale Watching
Half or full-day boat excursions to the southern tip of Vancouver Island make orca (killer whale) watching possible. Other creatures sighted there are bald eagles, harbour seals and Dall porpoises.

Royal British Columbia Museum
The museum has many displays for children including a simulated dive to the bottom of the Pacific. Other displays show the life and culture of the native tribes that lived there ten thousand years ago.
