9 Fun Activities & Games in False Creek That You Shouldn't Miss

March 26, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Most laughs I've had in years! Players were funny and enthusiastic and audience participation was encouraged. Not for young children or prudes but not vulgar either. Just real adult/teen humor. The admission price was very reasonable. Get tickets early because it sold out on a Tuesday night ! Theater is located on Granville Is. so parking is at a premium ( use the nearby underground lot ).

Kids Market

Reviewed By 527DonnaD - Vancouver, Canada

There's a massive two story ball room with slides and digital games to play. Great for anyone under 8. Virtual Reality machines for older kids, an arcade and great food on the top floor. Downstairs we spent quite a while in the costume shop. We found some really cool props. Plan to go back for the amazing wigs for my cosplayers. There's a shop for sports fans, one with only toys made of wood. There's clothing, boots, bathing suits, shoes and baby gifts. It is the most complete collection of things kids love.

I recently spent 7 nights at the J.W. Parq Vancouver, I can truly say without hesitation that my experience from prior to arriving at the Hotel to my check out was beyond any expectation I had imagined. Staff were friendly and competent, rooms and amenities well maintained and during COVID-19 well sanitized. Joon Lee from the front desk really made the 7 days incredible, any concern or question we had he thoroughly answered with thoughtful responses, seeing his passion and work ethic for what he does in such turbulent times made the entire experience sensational. Thank you Joon. Needless to say, we will definitely be returning to the Parq as it has become my favourite luxury hotel within Canada. - Sebastian
