Given that it rains in Vancouver like 80% of the time (it is three times rainier than London), it is essential to have a few indoor options to have some fun. One of our favorite spots is Science World where we have been to atleast once every year. Science World is ticketed, but is free for new residents and citizens, and also free...
While most of the paid attractions in Vancouver are quite often not worth it, the Vancouver Aquarium is definitely something that should be on your visit-list especially if you have kids. It is definitely nicer than the official "Zoo" and arguably more fun than Science World. The Vancouver Aquarium is also the first public aquarium in Canada (it opened in 1956) which conducts...
Last weekend, the warm weather summoned us to be outdoors, and given that we were sick and tired of waiting for our second born to pop out soon, we decided to explore some new places nearby. In the mood for some South Asian cuisine, we decided to head to Surrey and also make a visit to the Historic Stewart Farm, situated in a...
After having to cancel our US trip to Washington DC and New York over the winter storm, we decided to do something closer to home. Given that we live in North Vancouver and wanted to take a ferry from the Horseshoe Bay terminal, we decided to ferry ourselves to Nanaimo and explore some of the areas on Vancouver Island, including a quick visit...
Our family moved to North Vancouver from downtown Vancouver due to the pandemic, much like many other Lower Mainland families looking for space. This however, has required us to really search for entertainment which used to be at our fingertips. Still, it wasn't as terrible because Vancouver city life isn't the best to begin with, and secondly, North Vancouver made up for the...
One of the most well-known activities in the summer for almost all tourists in Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. The Park features a number of activities for everyone, and if you are a resident of BC, it might be worthwhile to get an annual pass, which comes for the same price as a single ticket. It is definitely worth it!As the...
Among the many things to do in Vancouver, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park will be one of them (atleast based on TripAdvisor and Google). But if you don't want to shell out $50+ for the entry ticket, you could head on to the Lynn Canyon Park, a free park with its own set of suspension bridges and sights in the North Shore.The Lynn...
When it comes to beautiful cities, Victoria probably bags the award. Located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is British Columbia’s capital and one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest. A British settlement since 1843 and named after Queen Victoria, the city is home to a multitude of gardens, a variety of historic buildings, including the beautiful parliament buildings and the world-famous...
If you follow me, you know that my most recent posts were about gardens. Well, no surprises there ! Since COVID-19, searching for gardens has been my past time. And no surprises, I made it to the largest one in Canada - the Royal Botanical Gardens. Ontario’s Royal Botanical Gardens is Canada’s largest botanical garden. Designated as a National Historic Site, the garden covers...
