springfire Posted April 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have a couple of nights in Vancouver before our cruise on the Sapphire Princess in August. I have found wonderfull things to fill our days, I am curious to know if anyone has any good ideas on activities we can do with our 12 year old daughter and 17 year old son in the evenings, any and all advise is appreciated.

Putterdude Posted April 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Just a few random thoughts but perhaps those with teenagers can come up with better ideas: A walk along Robson St. A walk into Gastown If the BC Lions were playing at home, a CFL game at BC Place Stadium (the site of the opening and closing ceremonies of 2010 Olympics). An Imax cinema presentation at Canada Place. I am trying here....someone please bail me out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftcoastBC Posted April 26, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Vancouver has very very great beaches in the summer if it's hot. Take your pick of several in or near Stanley Park. World class actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to what has been suggested. The Vancouver Whitecaps soccer club has a home game against the Charleston Battery on Aug 7. The stadium is easily accessible via Skytrain (Patterson Station) from downtown, and It's a lovely place to watch a game, and tickets are very inexpensive. Vancouver also has a single A baseball club; the Vancouver Canadians who have home evening and day games on the the 4th-7th (vs Yakima) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
