The Vancouver Aquarium is located minutes from downtown in world famous Stanley Park. With over 70,000 amazing aquatic creatures at the Vancouver Aquarium, you'll flow through six-zones and 86 indoor and outdoor exhibits. On your visit, you will also learn about serious conservation issues facing the oceans today, such as ocean pollution and overfishing.

Coal Harbour is a charming mix of business and residential, right on the water’s edge. Around this area you’ll find locals and visitors mingling on the Seawall, neighbourhood cafes and restaurants, a popular marina, and the odd harbour seal bobbing around and greeting passersby.

Kitsilano is just over the Burrard Bridge from the downtown peninsula. The neighbourhood brings together a collection of attractions, beaches and parks, and plenty of healthy, organic and farm-to-table restaurant options. The neighbourhood plays host to a number of community festivals over the course of the summer as well as being the venue for the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare festival.

With BC Place Stadium at one end, Stanley Park at the other, and the city’s best-known shopping precinct in between, Robson Street is a must-stroll. Being right in the heart of the downtown core, you’ll find yourself walking right alongside locals on their way to the office, or one of the numerous restaurants that cover this international strip. 

Yaletown is one of the city’s chicest neighbourhoods, filled with residential loft spaces, sidewalk cafes, cool restaurants, unique shopping, and leafy park. Walk, jog, bike or inline skate along the Seawall and you’ll find plenty of locals doing the same and enjoying the excellent public art sprinkled along the waterfront.
