Canada Place – Built to look like an enormous sailing ship, this is also where the cruise ships dock, and also houses an IMAX theater, but what's really fun for kids is going up and down the hundreds
of steps at the back of the building, getting a great view of Coal Harbour
and looking at the super cruise ships docked on either side. |

SeaBus Terminal – Take the ferry to Lonsdale Quay.
It's a big 400-passenger catamaran, Burrard Beaver or the Burrard Otter SeaBus, with lots of windows, and completely enclosed (which is good
in rainy or foggy weather.) On the way, you'll have a good look at the big
ships in Burrard Inlet. It's about a 15 min. trip each way. |

Vancouver Lookout – Take an express
elevator to the Harbour Centre at 555 Hastings Street in downtown
Vancouver to this viewing platform and you'll get a spectacular full-circle
view of everything for miles. Pick a clear day and you can see from the
mountains to the ocean. While the kids run around and around the enclosed
platform, you can relax with a latte. |

Gastown – The "old town" part
of Vancouver, built right after the big
fire at the turn of the century. Cobbled streets, gas lanterns, a steam
clock (fun to watch the moving mechanical parts) add charm to the authentic Victorian buildings. Year-round street musicians can be found on almost
every corner. |
