So I'm in Vancouver for a couple of days for a family thing and I have some free time. Is there anything really cool to do in the city? I've been to Vancuver before, but only for the skiing so what is some fun shit to do in the summer here?
Good question. I'm in Vancouver, WA today and will be in Vancouver, BC later this week and was wondering what to do. I'll only be there a day. I already have Stanley Park on the list.
Go shopping on Commercial or Main St (if you're on Main I highly recommend getting a burger at Splitz). Visit the aquarium and granville island.
Check out what's going on with the Harmony Arts Festival. I know most of it was last weekend but I think there are free outdoor concerts every night and all day this weekend (tomorrow night is a latin-funk band called Tanga) as well as outdoor movies and some food/wine stuff.
The entry point to the river is right at the top and you will see a bunch of kids hoping the fence with towels and backpacks so you can pretty much just follow them like ants to the different jump and chill out places.
Kinda hard to get there if you don't have access to a car though
