Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best thing to do in Vancouver with kids?
The Capilano Suspension Bridge consistently tops family lists — the TreeTops Adventure and Cliffwalk sections thrill children aged 5 and up. Follow it with Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park for a half-day family experience.
Is Vancouver good for families with young children?
Very much so. The city is walkable, stroller-friendly, and has world-class attractions for young children: the Aquarium, Science World, the Stanley Park miniature train, and Granville Island Kids Market. A private vehicle removes the logistics stress of public transit with young children.
