- Julie19672014St Ives, UK77 contributionsThis aquarium is lovely and well worth exploring if you are in Vancouver. You can catch a bus easily to here and is situated in Stanley Park. There was plenty to see and lovely fish, otters etc. You can hire a cycle from outside and ride around Stanley Park or you can walk around but will take you a few hours.Written May 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We followed the wall by walking around Stanley Park.

- Travel25346533585168 contributionsWhile on the small size as far as Museums go The Vancouver Museum of Anthropology does have it's merits. It is a good rainy day activity when visiting Vancouver.

- ZitatravelLondon, UK852 contributionsNice area to wander around on the harbour. Good views . There was a passenger liner in when we were there so could not walk all the way round. The shoreline walk on the left is a better walk with lots of bars and restaurants . So Canada Place is your starting point for a visit to the Harbour.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
