We recently enjoyed a downtown Vancouver Staycation for a quick getaway and it was fabulous and fun.

Enter to WIN a one-night stay at the Fairmont Waterfront and a 4-pack of tickets to Fly-Over Canada for YOUR family below!!! (Ends August 7)

Here are our picks, which are all walking distance from the Fairmont Waterfront, where we stayed. It’s the perfect location for a downtown staycation!

Fly-Over Canada

We have a family 4-pack for you to experience the delight that is the feeling of flying over Canada in an amazing short film experience. (enter below!)

Located inside Canada Place.

Stanley Park

Take the Fairmont Bikes for a spin around the beautiful 8.8km seawall of Stanley Park taking in the views of the Pacific Ocean, Burrard Inlet, Lions Gate Bridge and North Shore mountains.

Start at the Fairmont Waterfront (3km to Stanley Park)

Cruise Ship Spotting at Canada Place

We loved just hanging out at Canada Place and watching the Cruise Ships come and go. In the two days we were there, we saw 3 ships come and go. Summer is peak season for the Alaska Cruise Ships.

Located directly across the street from Fairmont Waterfront

Wander Through Gastown

Gastown is Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood. Wander along Water Street, where you’ll find a picture-perfect collection of old buildings, cobblestones, the Steam Clock, and vintage lampposts.

Located less than 1km from the Fairmont Waterfront

Sea-Bus over to the North Shore

Take the Sea-Bus across the Burrard Inlet to explore the Lonsdale Quay on the North Shore. The market has fresh produce, baked goods, handmade items and delicious fish’n’chips.

There are so many more things to do in Vancouver, this doesn’t even cover the half of it! These are all walking-distance options to do with your kids near the Waterfront.
