Family Events & Activities Near You
LOVE LIGHTS
When: January 30 - February 22, 2026
Where: Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
Calling romantics of all kinds! 💕 Capilano Suspension Bridge Park turns into a glowing celebration of connection during Love Lights, one of the most magical (and romantic!) things to do in Vancouver this February. Perfect for couples, friends, & families, the entire park sparkles with illuminated displays — from crossing the iconic Suspension Bridge to strolling the twinkling Cliffwalk beneath the rainforest canopy. Extended evening hours from February 12–15 make it easy to plan a special night out, complete with whimsical photo moments (hello, 3D heart!), limited-time bites and sips at The Cliff House Restaurant. Before heading home, pop into the Trading Post for hand-selected gifts, keepsakes, and sweet treats — because love looks different for everyone, and this experience celebrates it all.
Where Have all
the buffalo gone?
When: Until February 16-21, 2026
Where: Gateway Theatre - Richmond
Take your family on a powerful cultural journey with Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? at the Gateway Theatre - a moving and engaging live performance that brings Métis history to life through storytelling, music, and imagination. Designed to resonate with both kids and adults, the show weaves together Métis stories, lively fiddle music, and a life-like buffalo puppet to explore the birth of the Métis Nation, the impact of colonization, and the deep cultural significance of the buffalo. It’s a meaningful way to spark conversations, introduce children to Indigenous history, and experience theatre that educates as much as it entertains — all in a welcoming, family-friendly setting. Recommended for ages 9+.
