Kids in Vancouver

Clown Fish at the AquariumThere are a number of attractions and activities for expat kids and their parents to enjoy in Vancouver, from parks and zoos to go-carting and water park adventures. A popular option is to spend the day at Stanley Park, where the Spray Park and the Children's Farm petting zoo are popular, as are horse-drawn carriage rides.
 

The Vancouver Aquarium and the Greater Vancouver Zoo are good places to see some exotic and unusual animals, while everything ‘outer-space’ can be experiences at the Space Centre or the Telus World of Science.
 

There’s also great fun to be had at Granville Island's Water Park and Adventure Playground, and at the Richmond go-cart track. In the dreaded cold of winter, there are a few indoor playgrounds to visit including the Kerrisdale Play Palace, in the Kerrisdale Cyclone Taylor Arena, and the Kid Zone at Park Royal Mall South Shopping Center.
