Vancouver Aquarium
There's an ocean of viewing at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine
Science Centre. The new Wild Coast exhibit replaces the killer whale
habitat, housing dolphins, Steller sea lions and seals. Watch training
sessions and feeding of seals and sea-otters. On trainer tours you can
feed sea otters, sea lions or seals yourself. Or watch a trainer dive into
the tank to feed the sharks!
New animals keep popping up at this active aquarium. A baby
beluga was born July 20, 2002!
Also in late July was the opening of Clownfish Cove, a new
interactive children's area in the lower level of the Aquarium's
Weyerhauser Pacific Canada gallery. Designed to appeal primarily to
children 8 and younger, Clownfish Cove features live animals such as
seahorses, toads and, of course, colourful clownfish.

The Children's Farm Yard
The childrens farmyard allows visitors to get up close and
personal with our myriad selection of domesticated animals, many of which
are rare breeds, who rarely fail to charm the human animal. A modest fee
is charged for both of these attractions.
Amazon Gallery
From further south, the Amazon gallery holds tropical fish,
caymans, sloths, snakes, spiders, birds, tortoises and frogs. Other
galleries include The Wild Coast, The Pacific Northwest, and Arctic
Canada.
Totem Poles
The Totem poles of Stanley Park are beside the Brockton Oval
cricket pitch. There are eight in total. They were carved from western red
cedar. Each one tells a story of a mystical event. You will sometimes have
to get in a line to get you picture taken beside one of these.
Miniature Train
Serving to entertain both young and old alike is the exact
replica of Locomotive Engine #374, which pulled the first transcontinental
passenger train into Vancouver in the late 1880s.
This 15 minute ride through the towering cedars and Douglas
fir help visitors remember that the Park was once a forest of old growth
trees.
Beaches and Pools
There is more than enough sand and water at Stanley Park, In
the summer time you have to show up early to get your spot on the beach.
The childrens water parks are a frenzy of screams and kids soaking each
other. Where else can you stroll on a beach in the full sun and see snow
on the mountains across the harbour.
