For $6/adult and $3/child (4 and over) we got to go on a 25 minute round trip. My pre-schooler *adored* the ride - as did my out-of-town guest. We've also recently discovered Little Nest (www.littlenest.ca) off Commercial (on Charles) - this little cafe has the whole child-friendly thing down. It has a well-stocked play area, fun (local and organic) food, good coffee and a great atmosphere. We went down to Granville Island today and took the Aquabus “False Creek Family Fun Cruise”.

Don't bother with swimsuits - this is more of a bucket-and-spade-type beach - and bring a long-sleeve as it's a bit windy. But it's a beautiful, quiet spot with lots of logs on which to practice balancing and, on the other side of the parking lot, there's a little walk beside a bog filled with lovely flowers and blackberry bushes (yum!). There are clean washrooms to use too. We also stopped in a parking lot to watch airplanes and it felt as though they were going to land right on top of us. I think it was most exhilirating for me, but everyone loved it! Cross the Arthur Laing Bridge, take the first exit to the right after the exit to Richmond and follow the signs to Iona Beach (about 7.5 km).

They got to pick the colour of our background, put 4 loonies in the slot, and say "Cheese!" When we got home, we decorated the back with felts and stickers, and gave the photos to Dad as a gift! The photo booth is located in the hallway that leads to Vancouver Center, near Guest Services and Sears.

We go there at least once a month for lunch and to play. Seriously. It's clean, cool, family friendly, baby friendly. They sell toddler/kid friendly meals and even jarred baby food. A bit of heaven for a mom of 2 - let me tell you. We live DT so I try to schedule it so one of my mommy friends from coquitlam can join us. Fun fun fun. IKEA!

Our son loved playing in the playrooms that had lots of safe areas for babies to crawl and play safely. There were lots of very cool rooms where older kids could make believe they were vets or dogs,shop keepers and farmers etc. I did a quick google search and found the closest childrens museum to be in Bellingham but they are all over the US. Maybe someone will start one here! My partner, my 11 month old son and I just went for a weekend in Tacoma and Olympia and were pleasantly surprised to find they had “children’s museums”.
