Top Parks in Canada

My advice is to visit during weekdays if you can. The crowds were way less on Wednesday, which meant shorter lines and a more relaxed vibe when checking out the falls.

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.

I think it’s a good idea to buy the Parks Canada Pass in advance online. Parking can get tight, and you don’t want to waste time waiting in line for that.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. There are some pricey cafes around, and you can save a ton by packing a picnic, plus you can eat it at the best spots!

If you're going for the views, try to hit the lookout spot by 8 AM - beautiful sunrise light and way fewer folks around! Trust me, it's a quiet start to the day

Wear comfy shoes! Seriously, I underestimating the trails, and my feet were not happy by the end of the day. You’ll be doing more walking than you think.

I recommend going on a weekday if you can. Weekends get super busy and you'll spend more time searching for parking than actually enjoying the park.

Bring a picnic! There are tons of nice spots to sit and enjoy a meal, plus it's a way to save some cash. I packed snacks and saved money instead of eating at the park's vendors.

If you're planning to drive, I suggest getting a Parks Canada annual pass if you intend to visit other parks. It saved me lots of cash!

My advice is to pack a lunch. Dining in the park can get pricy, and there are some amazing picnic spots with breathtaking views. I wish I had done this.

I recommend checking out Maligne Lake for the boat tours, but book in advance! I waited too long and missed out—it was packed!

I think it’s great to explore the little paths off the main walkways. You’ll find cozy spots and maybe even some local art installations that aren’t super touristy.

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to save money at La Fontaine Park. The cafes can be a bit pricey, and having a picnic on the grass is so much more fun!

Don’t miss the Biodome! It was one of my favorite parts, but I almost overlooked it. Allocate a couple of hours for it to really enjoy

I suggest checking out the park's events schedule before you go. I stumbled upon a local art show that I wouldn't have known about otherwise, and it made my day!

I recommend visiting the petting zoo and the butterfly garden, they are super cute and totally worth the time! I almost missed it, but it turned out to be a highlight of the trip.
