🚤 Looking for a summer adventure ? @pinkboat. 🚤 Looking for a summer adventure ? 

@pinkboat.ca offers one of the most unique ways to experience Metro Vancouver’s incredible coastline. 

Families can hop aboard Vancouver’s eye-catching pink double-decker private boat lounge and head out to explore beautiful waterfront scenery just minutes from the city. We love that it works especially well for families with older kids, tweens, teens, and multi-generational groups looking for something memorable to do together. 

Relax on deck, enjoy music, take in incredible views, swim on select experiences, and create the kind of summer memories kids actually talk about long after summer ends. Experience Vancouver from a whole new perspective!

There’s nothing like meeting animals up close to There’s nothing like meeting animals up close to spark a child’s sense of wonder. From cuddly goats to exotic sea creatures, Metro Vancouver has plenty of places where families can safely interact with animals and learn about the natural world—all without leaving the region. As well as being fun family outings, animal encounters like these open the door for important conversations about wildlife conservation.

Summer challenge! 🎢 Looking for a summer advent Summer challenge! 🎢 Looking for a summer adventure that will have your kids talking all season long? 

@grousemountain has an exciting new Gravity Coaster that’s a must-try for families!w Located high on the mountain beside The Cut, riders twist and turn through the forest before popping out to breathtaking views of Vancouver then returning to the moutaintop without leaving the coaster. 

We love that the Gravity Coaster combines just the right amount of thrill with incredible scenery, making it a hit with kids (min. 3 years old), teens, and adventurous parents alike. 

FYI: Children under 9 must ride as a passenger with a driver aged 16n or older. 

The fun doesn’t stop there, families can also ride the Skyride, visit the resident grizzly bears, watch the famous Lumberjack Show, and take in the Birds in Motion demonstrations.
