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.
