Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Vancouver

I recommend booking your flight in advance, especially in peak season. I didn’t and ended up missing out on a great time slot!

My advice is to check the weather before you go. Flight cancellations happen if it gets bumpy up there. I didn’t want to miss my day, so I kept an eye on the forecast!

If you can, try to get a seat in the front of the plane for the best views. I sat at the back, and I think the pictures would’ve been way better at the front!

I recommend getting there right when it opens around 10 AM to beat the crowd and snag the best spots. It makes such a difference!

I suggest wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Some of the equipment can be challenging, and you'll want to be comfortable while trying new moves.

For a better atmosphere, consider sitting upstairs. It feels a bit more chill, and you'll have a great view of the games below. I enjoyed it way more up there!

Make sure to bring cash. Some of the games might charge you a bit more if you pay with a card. I learned that the hard way when my bill was higher than expected.

If you're planning to play darts or ping-pong, get there around 5 PM to avoid the crazy crowds later in the night. I found it way more enjoyable without the wait for the games.

Definitely check out their happy hour deals, which start around 4 PM – you can snag half-priced drinks and some tasty appetizers that make for a great start to the evening.

If you're into darts, practice a bit beforehand! The setup is friendly for newcomers, but having a few skills can make the experience more fun with your pals.

I found that getting a pool table can take some time during peak hours, so consider showing up before 6 PM or after 9 PM for a better chance to jump right in

Stay for the post-game! The atmosphere was electric as fans were leaving... Plus, you might catch some players signing autographs if you hang around near the exit

Check out the pre-game events outside the arena. I had a blast at the fan zone with free activities and cool merch before the game started!

Bring your own snacks. The food prices can be ridiculous! I spent way too much on nachos. A few snacks in your bag can really help your wallet.

I recommend checking their social media for any happy hours or promotions. I stumbled on an awesome discount that saved me a few bucks on my tab!

My advice is to try the specialty coffee drinks—they're surprisingly good! I was expecting typical cafe stuff but was really impressed. Definitely a nice pick-me-up between games.
