Family Events & Activities Near You
Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival
When: April 1 - 23
Where: Various Locations
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival (VCBF) is Vancouver's signature springtime event, waking the city up from winter hibernation to an explosion of some 41,000 blossoming cherry trees. Originally gifted from Japan in the 1930's, the cherry blossom now inspires a month-long of 20+ public, mostly free, arts and cultural community events. We invite you to join in this joyous city-wide celebration!
MARVEL AVENGERS
S.T.A.T.I.O.N.
When: March 3 - May 28
Where: The Amazing Brentwood, Burnaby
If you're a fan of the Avengers movies and are looking for a fun and interactive experience for the whole family, you'll be excited to hear that the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N is coming to Metro Vancouver! This exhibit is not your typical display of costumes and props. The Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N is a chance to play around with some cool gadgets and even participate in simulations to test your skills. You can fly like Iron Man, try lifting Thor's hammer, or see if you can solve problems like Bruce Banner. It's not just a fun day out, but it's also a chance to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in a fun and engaging way. Plus, you can learn about the history of the Avengers and their impact on pop culture. You'll also get an inside look at how the movies were made!
