It was advertised on Global News and so glad it was! We would've missed this gem. The ride up was gorgeous. The museum was well laid out with many activities and so much information. The movie "Boom!" was well done and took place in the Concentrator which was very cool. We would do it again. It's great for all ages. It includes the movie, gold panning, an underground train ride and many buildings to browse through. Wow!

3. Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster

I'm not fond of coasters, but this was awesome. My husband and I visited as part of a weekend getaway. Staff were friendly, and one even took a picture of us before the ride started. The ride takes you up the mountain, and upon reaching the top you send yourself off. You can control how fast or slow you go, which put me at ease...by the end I was going full speed and enjoyed every moment. The view from the coaster was amazing. We're planning to return every season that its open for different views.

FlyOver Canada utilizes state-of-the-art technology to give you the feeling of flight.

Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create an unforgettable experience. At FlyOver Canada you will spend approximately 25 minutes getting introduced to our great country. You will first enter the pre-show area where you will be immersed in an audio-visual show of Canada "up close and personal" before heading to the boarding zone for your preflight briefing. You will then experience the unforgettable 8-minute Ultimate Flying Ride soaring over some of the most spectacular scenery the country has to offer. Open year round, 7 days a week. Conveniently located downtown at Canada Place.

This is a fabulous experience even though its only a short ride. We sit in a row of seats (7 to a row) and belt up as if we're going to fly. Once secured the safety barrier drops down and the seats move forward (or give that impression) while we are still in darkness. We then "ride" through clouds and are whisked off on a coast to coast plane ride (without the plane) taking in mountains, forests, zooming through valleys and the whole effect is quite breathtaking. We went on this ride twice but you could ride it many times and be mesmerised every time. Totally and utterly fabulous!

I took a large family group to the Spring Break Deal (includes lift passes, tubing and kids' meals) through Bear Lodge. We travel a lot as a family, but as my youngest said... 'This was the BEST Spring Break EVERRRR!' I had prebooked the ski equipment in advance and put the youngest two children in ski classes for one morning only - they loved Rosa, Paul and Ethan! It worked out cheaper to book a private lesson for the teens and they all raved about Casper. All the kids came out with improved skills and enhanced knowledge of safety on the slopes. Darren kept the whole workflow with the instructors running efficiently. I particularly appreciated the good humour and energy of the staff working the Tubes and want to thank the safety team on the Ski-Doos snowmobiles (but that is a whole other story!) I recommend this trip to all on the Lower Mainland. Travelling here was a dream with short travelling distance. It was cheaper and friendlier than Whistler and I did not have to drive 5+ hours across the Coquihalla where the other resorts are located. Well done Mt Washington - see you again soon!
