Stanley Park is one of the biggest city park in the world, with the best beaches around including English Beach. Take a walk around the sea wall or visit the Vancouver Aquarium. This is the best park.
Next, a trip to the Aquarium was incredibly enjoyable as I find aquatic animals very fascinating! For thrill-seekers, try the 4D experience! It’s exhilarating!
Walk around the sea-wall. Get to know why Vancouver is the most beautiful city in the world.
First up the Vancouver Lookout! The glass elevator ride up to a 360º view of the city with the sun shining was absolutely breathtaking; a reminder of why I love this city so much.
Stand closest to the North Shore - that way you'll get a good seat and view on the boat!
Hold on when you're riding the escalators, because it's a long tumble if you fall over.
Stand in front of a fire extinguisher, thoughtfully stroking your chin. Mumble something about Hyperrealism every time someone walks by.

Great place to learn about everything from bugs to static electricity.
Next up, a stroll through historic Chinatown where I grew up! There are open markets, unique clothing boutiques, tea shops, and much more to see.

Well, we weren't mourning the loss of this legendary institution for long. Brought back to a much greener life by Mark Brand, the burgers are as mouth-watering as ever. Read our full review. Read more.

The Museum of Anthropology at UBC was fantastic, be ready to enjoy a nice stroll across the campus - Veronuica (USA)
Ranked the sexiest beach in North America, it's definitely my favourite in Vancouver. Adequare sand/grass mix and shade available (and a pool)

A beautiful tropical paradise in the midst of Queen Elizabeth Park. Read more.
Place = amazing. I fear heights, but other than 1st time across bridge, I didn't even flinch.More awestruck by the beauty.Definitely do the bridge, the Treetops Adventure AND the Cliffwalk.
If you're wondering why you might be riding in the dark... It's a better view at night, and there were complaints from the Island from lit gondolas in the past.
Head to the North Shore to Lonsdsale Quay Market for a fresh food market, specialty shops and delicious eateries. Hop on the SeaBus from Waterfront Station and you’ll be there within 15 minutes.
The village of Deep Cove is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast. Hike the Baden-Powell Trail or kayak in the Indian Arm. Be sure to cap off your adventure at the Arms Reach Bistro on the waterfront.
I had my first corn dog here. Pork Belly Sliders from Roaming Dragon are a treat. And they have deep fried oreos, jelly beans and butter. And of course, the mini-donuts! Read more.

Wonderful place to snack if you'd like to go indulge in the many stalls of (mostly deep fried) food. Lovely atmosphere - merchandise prices are hiked, though. Be careful what you buy!
