As you might expect from this adventurous corner of the world, stays at BC vacation rentals can be just as enjoyable for children as for adults. Whether they're running around Vancouver's playgrounds or exploring nature, they'll always be entertained.
Vancouver, which effortlessly blends the outdoors with big-city living, is a treasure trove of family day-trip options. If your little ones are feeling curious, spend the afternoon enjoying the hands-on exhibitions of Science World. Meanwhile, animal lovers will relish the chance to get up close to the Vancouver Aquarium's many creatures, and for some fresh air and adventure, head to Vancouver’s fantastic Stanley Park.
The most memorable moments, however, may be had while exploring BC’s natural beauty. If you’ve got a car, drive along the Sea to Sky Highway. Stop at the many awe-inspiring nature spots along the way, including Shannon Falls Provincial Park, home to BC’s third-largest waterfall, and Alice Lake Provincial Park, perfect for a picnic and stretching your legs.
During the summer, Whistler hosts the Children's Festival, an annual event that features hands-on art activities, theatre shows, and play opportunities for the smaller members of your travelling clan.
