Top Parks in Vancouver

Check out the Vancouver Aquarium – it’s pretty cool! But, my advice is to buy tickets online to skip the line. It can get super busy, especially on weekends!

If you're into art, stop by the Totem Poles – they're a must-see. But, try to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Trust me, the early bird gets the best photos!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The beach side cafes can get pricey, and the picnicking vibe is super relaxed.

I suggest checking the tide schedule online before heading out. There’s nothing worse than showing up for a beach day just to find it’s too rocky for swimming!

I think renting bikes is a fun way to explore the park and nearby areas. Just check out the bike rental spots; they can be a bit hidden but worth it!

My advice is to visit during sunset around 7-8 PM. The views are stunning, and it’s not as crowded as during mid-day.

Remember to download a map or plan your route in advance! Cell service can be spotty in some areas, and I found myself turned around a couple of times.

Bring snacks or a packed lunch. There aren't many places to grab food nearby, and having a picnic by the lighthouse was one of the highlights for me.

Check the weather before you go! The views are stunning but the trails can be slippery when wet. I got caught in a drizzle and wished I'd worn better shoes.

For the best sunset views, plan to be there around 7:30 PM during the summer months. It's absolutely magical and definitely worth staying a little longer.

I think the walking paths are great, but be aware of cyclists. If you’re strolling with kids, keep to the designated pedestrian areas to avoid any close calls.
