💦FAV LOCAL OUTDOOR POOLS & WATERPARKS💦⁠ ⁠ See link in bio for our full list of Metro Vancouver outdoor pools open for 2021! ⁠ ⁠ We love this 📸 & these recommendations from @katrina.bblog. Tag @hflavancouver in your family adventure posts to be featured! ⁠ ⁠ 🥳💦 The outdoor pool at #maplewoodpark in #vancouverbc is perfect for little ones. Surrounded by green space, it’s perfect for a swim and picnic combo. Unlike many other city pools where you have to book within minutes of ticket release, we had no issues reserving a desired time slot just days before. ⁠ ⁠ 💦 If you are close to Richmond, #southarmpool has been our go-to outdoor pool for years. Prior to restrictions, South Arm allowed you to purchase a day pass, bring a portable bbq and have a day full of family fun. South Arm also has a large grassy area perfect for a picnic and to kick the ball around. Older kiddos can also enjoy two large waterslides. ⁠ ⁠ 💦 If you are are heading to #granvilleisland this summer, remember to bring a bathing suit for your little ones. The water slide there is a perfect addition to the spray park and playground. ⁠ ⁠ 💦 Our favourite outdoor pool in the #fraservalley is @ottercoop Outdoor Experience in Aldergrove! This affordable new Waterpark is a must visit and is definitely worth the drive even from Vancouver. My kids love it so much, that we used to book two time slots in a row to double the fun and make it a full day activity. ⁠ ⁠ 💦 Last but absolutely not least is @bigsplashpark in sunny Tsawwassen and @cultuslakewaterpark. These two waterparks always make it on our Summer Bucket List. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #summer2021 #yvrmoms #vancouverfamily #yvrfamilies #thingstodovancouver #fraservalleymom #childhoodfriends #childhoodfavorite #childhoodmemories #theygrowupsofast #raisinggirls #screenfree #wildandfree #wildandfreechildren #childhoodunplugged #childhoodbesties #childhooddays #childhoodeveryday #itsthesmallthings #mytinymoments #childrenseemagic #ig_motherhood #ig_kiddos #kidsofinstagram #enchantedchildhood

We LOVED the Eagle Coaster at @cypressmtn! I went We LOVED the Eagle Coaster at @cypressmtn! I went first and as I was doing it was I nervous that the two older kids who were doing the ride by themselves would be really nervous and I would see a lot of tears (especially from Malia who has super high anxiety), but they were smiling and couldn’t wait to get back up to do their second ride. They are already talking about when we get to go again!! If you haven’t added the Eagle Coaster to your summer list we highly recommend going. You won’t regret it…just bring bug spray!⁠ ⁠ We love these 📸s and 5-star review from @kimphilip1234.

⁠ Have you taken the Aquabus before?⁠ ⁠ Taki ⁠ Have you taken the Aquabus before?⁠ ⁠ Taking the Aquabus is a great day trip for a sunny day! You can purchase tickets beforehand or you can get your ticket with the Skipper and get a roundtrip ticket to save some money.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Check out the park at Stamps Landing, walk east towards Olympic Village, have lunch or explore the area then get an Aquabus from Olympic Village to Granville Island. At Granville Island, explore the playground, get donuts from @leesdonuts.ca and for dinner, grab fish and chips to-go.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ 🌈 The Aquabus is stroller-friendly (not the easiest thing, but they make it work), pet-friendly and kids under 4 are free.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ When the day is done, take the Aquabus from Granville Island back to your car at Stamps Landing. Seeing the city from the water is a fun little experience.⁣⁠ ⁠ We love this 📸 and day trip plan from @amandalbreen.
