Visited Vancouver in September

Aquarium, Science world, English bay beach
Nero Waffles for breakfast is amazing!! The waffles are made fresh and the combination of flavors is delicious. Our favorite one was the ham & cheese!
Capilano bridge for sure!! Something tat everyone has to do at least one time in life.
Just go with the flow! You will probably not get to do as much as you had planned, but you will still make wonderful memories just by enjoying the things you do get to do!
Stick to all the kid friendly activities, nature stuff and hikes can wait til they’re older. Science works was a huge hit
We really like poutine when we are in Canada, it's so different and who doesn't like french fries with gravy?
We rode the ferry over to Victoria (first time my kids have been on a boat) and visited the Craigdarroch Castle, it was so amazingly beautiful. We spent a good long time exploring all the secrets and all the many floors of the castle.
Plan ahead, look for deals. We found there was attractions that were free instead of spending alot. Good see the Steam clock in Gastown and visit the shops, there is a lot of parking lots if you drive but also they have buses you can take downtown too.
The Boathouse in Kits has delicious food and the kids love to play on the beach after the meal.
Cactus Club, recommended by our Flytographer, Maegan. Great water views and food.
We loved the date night at Robba Da Matti in Gastown. Sit by the window for optimal people watching!
Biking the sea wall, kayaking Deep Cove, and exploring the sea to sky highway
Leave time to wander! Vancouver has so much to see; you’d be surprised by the hidden gems you come across just walking the city.
Jingle Bao or Dinesty Dumpling House. Best dumplings! We also love Pure Bread. Amazing Bakery!
Vancouver waterfront, Stanley Park, Gastown, Granville, Kitslano, UBC, Capilano
Pho Khanh Express has the best pho noodle with great prices!
Capilano Suspension bridge and Stanley Park
Ann and Chi is always a great spot and Published on Main is exceptional.
A walk on the seawall, Granville Island, low tide at Spanish Banks and if you are in town for Celebration of Light or Mural Festival, they are great.
Provence Marinaside
Lighthouse park!
Walking or biking along the seawall is my favourite thing to do every time I visit Vancouver! I can’t get enough of that ocean view!
The Boat Shed at Ambleside
Bring your doggy to Ambleside in West Vancouver.
Always bring a rain jacket and umbrella! The weather changes so quick here.
Sura, it's a Korean restaurant on Robson St
Walk along the Seawall from Stanley Park to Yaletown
Convince a friend to come live in Vancouver together for a month (or two) and explore the city slowly

Hard to choose! Our favourites are any of the Nuba locations, Hawksworth, Steveston Village Vietnamese or Ahn and Chi, and Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.
Eat! It's a foodies dream.
Don't miss out on Van Dusen or Queen Elizabeth Park!
The Capilano Suspension bridge is a must see. Also, be sure to stop in Gastown for great shopping, food, and a chance to see the famous steam clock.
Bike around the park
Visited Vancouver in November
Photo Shoot Location: Coal Harbour
Take all forms of transportation! It was fun to get to experience the seabus, bus, Skytrain, and even kids train in Stanley park.
The sushi at Miku is the best we've ever had in our lives! Go whale watching and see the Butchart Gardens if you have a chance. The suspension bridge at Capilano is a must! Bike the sea wall at Stanley Park and hike some trails, it's absolutely beautiful. JJ Bean in Gastown if you're a coffee lover.
Definitely spend time on Granville Island.
Must Sees: Granville Island, Stanley Park (seawall included), Queen Elizabeth Park, and the Sea-to-Sky drive or gondola!
A walk around Stanley Park at sunset!

Rent a car! It's not as easy to get a taxi as I would have thought, so if you want to go places like the Sea Wall and other more off the beaten path neighborhoods, it would be more convenient to have a car.
