Everything you should know before you book
Vancouver is an easy city with children: compact, green, and packed with hands-on attractions a short transit ride apart. This list ranks the family favourites by review score — the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park (the largest in Canada), the FlyOver Canada flight-simulator ride at Canada Place, the geodesic dome of Science World, and Capilano's bridge and Treetops Adventure on the North Shore.
Buy timed tickets for the busy ones. Capilano and FlyOver Canada get crowded on warm weekends and cruise-ship days, so a dated ticket saves a queue. Stanley Park's seawall, playgrounds, and the miniature train are free or low-cost add-ons between the paid stops, and Science World is the dependable rainy-day pick.
