    It was fun! We had an amazing time looking at the Japanese Sea Nettle and the white jelly fish. It’s so relaxing to be around fishes and water. I only wish they have bigger space and other water animals to add in the future. Overall, we enjoyed the rest of our tour.

    Christmas lights over 1 million lights. The lake with the lights and music is excellent. Many paved walkways with lights.
    A lot of different variations

    The Vancouver Seawall is a wall built around the waters of Vancouver to prevent erosion. We followed the wall by walking around Stanley Park. It is a calming way to get fit and enjoy the beautiful natural wonders of the area.

    This was a great place to eat lunch during our Vancouver visit. There were so many options of food. The place was full of people but not as extremely crowded as other similar markets I've been to. And most importantly, it actually had some places to sit and eat (though you'd have to wait for a party to get up and leave). My family did a loop around, and then split up to go purchase our choices. There are also shops (many souvenir shops) around the market as well. We had to do a lap or two to find parking (paid parking in a garage) but again, it wasn't too bad. Clean restrooms located in a few of the different buildings. Go check it out if you're in the area!

    We purchased the day pass so that we had the ability to hop on/off, which we were glad we did! The staff were very informative and had great recommendations. Loved that we never had to wait too long to have an aquabus pick us up!

    We stayed at a hotel in Vancouver Downtown and found it very convenient. We were close to just about everything, transport, restaurants, art galleries, museums, shops and wonderful sights. We never felt threatened or concerned for our safety. The place is quite vibrant and lovely to walk around.

    We spotted Gastown from the Vancouver Lookout, and we went afterwards. It's a beautifully lit area to take a stroll, grab coffee or dinner, and shop.

    This is the main cruise ship terminal for Vancouver. The architecture is the drawcard, with the five distinctive white sails making it a recognisable landmark around the world. The area is rich in cultural and historical significance and well worth a wander.
