 Massive urban park |
West end of Georgia Street Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2 Canada +1 604 257 8400 (Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation) http://www.city.vancouver.bc.c... |
Attractions abound in this massive downtown park, a veritable rainforest within a metropolis. To name just a few of the activities and attractions: the Children's Farmyard, Miniature Railway, tennis courts, beaches, children's water park, heated ocean side swimming pool, the Theatre Under the Stars, the Vancouver Aquarium and the 10.5-km perimeter Seawall, which is packed with joggers, walkers and rollerbladers. Once a military reserve, the park became one of the city's premier attractions by action of the city's first council. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Touring the old-fashioned way |
875 Terminal Avenue Vancouver, BC V6A 2M9 Canada +1 604 801 5515 / +1 888 451 5581 (Toll Free) http://www.vancouvertrolley.com/ |
There are many ways to see Vancouver, and this way is literally a classic. This company refurbished some locally manufactured early 1900s trolley cars, setting them back on the tracks that they once plied daily. There are 16 stops along the tour, and passengers can get on or off at their leisure. The trolley stops at some of the city's highlights, including Gastown, Canada Place and the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park. The tours are offered year round Review © 2007, Wcities |
