It is bright, clean, and modern, and a lot of thought and care has been put into the equipment and furnishings. We have done parent and tot classes, unparented preschool classes, and family drop-ins, and we have found the level of instruction here far surpasses other sports-related programmes. The teachers are all engaging, and they really take the time to connect with each child. Our daughter talks about the teachers all the time at home. She adores them and looks forward to going to her gymnastics classes every week.

It was easy purchasing the tickets but a bit more challenging finding the entrance one floor up. We used the elevator. When you got off the elevator it directed you around the corner then the directions stopped. We found steps and decided to follow the famous advice from the movie, ghostbusters and take the steps up!! We eventually found the entrance. Signage would be helpful. We got there 10 minutes early and waited. The wait time from your assigned time is about 20 to finally get in..bring a book. They said next up was a safety briefing, well more like a promo or so sort and you better stand in the middle of the room or else! The safety briefing was after for about 30 seconds, buckle up and hang on. The show was good and the action of the seats gave you the illusion of flight. The feeling of the mist hitting your face going through the clouds was pretty cool. My wife said she smelled flowers when we passed outer but I didn't. It was good but a bit overpriced. We went to the Canada show. I would recommend but bring your wallet. I gave it a 3.5

This converted indoor warehouse space boasts multiple interactive play areas, each themed towards a…read moreparticular profession or business: fire department, news station, bakery, doctor's office, veterinarian, etc. Each comes loaded with props and costumes, so the little ones can play dress-up and let their imaginations run wild! There are also a handful of playground toys, rides, slides and other attractions, complete with foam padding, safety nets and flashing lights, guaranteed to attract their attention! Admission is $28 per child (with one "free" adult allowed to accompany them) with no time restrictions. Posters in the restrooms also advertise special "after-hours" events, such as a Nerf War night for 8+ year olds, which sounds like a blast, even for an old kid-at-heart like me! About the only thing to complain about would be the rather terse and aloof staff running the front desk and managing the expected intake forms and disclaimers - they could be a little more lively and upbeat, if you ask me. That said, they do a good job keeping up the place, performing routine rounds to put toys away, vaccum, wipe things down, and generally get everything squared away in an orderly fashion.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE There's not a lot of options for…read morechildren's museums in Vancouver, but the World of Kidtropolis provides a sure bet when you're looking for something for your kids (perhaps aged 8 or younger?) to do! === 2. OFFERING For $21 (or $19 with a punch card), you get admission for one adult and child for two hours. This gives you access to: - Activities for toddlers and younger elementary school-aged children; - Motion-based activities (like a climbable treehouse and slides and merry-go-round - which costs $1); - Role play-based activities (like an airplane, firehouse, police station, farm house, gas/service station, fifth-wheel camper, hospital, dentist, restaurant, food market, post office/bank, news station, ice cream stand, school, and animal hospital); - Three party rooms (two on the main floor and one upstairs); - A cafeteria; and, - Three motion-based vehicles for children (they move back and forth in one spot) that costs $1 each: a bus, ice cream truck, and a car. ...because of the $1-based rides, you made find yourself needing to bring a lot of coins (only loonies accepted) and spending more than just $19 :) Like many other children's museums, the role-playing areas are often sponsored and logo'd by local businesses. === 3. SERVICE At the reception, staff are friendly; staff are friendly in helping as needed between the overall cleanings and play-area-resets they do every two hours. We did not come here for a party, and so can't comment on the experience with them hosting parties (though we observed what looked like a Spiderman-based parties with themed balloons and someone in costume). === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's bright and the high ceilings give a feeling of openness; the areas can also be easily traversed by people of all ages and abilities. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit everywhere (except in the tightest of role-playing areas). We did not check out the restrooms while here. Parking is a bit odd as you may find yourself parking around the building/corner since many spaces in front are reserved for other businesses.

We've been lucky as a family to visit some great aquariums all over the US and I'd say Vancouver's definitely ranks in the top as well. I do think that separates this Aquarium to others we've been to, thankfully due to the moderate climate here, they can have outdoor seal, sea lion, and sea otter enclosures, which was great for our son as he loves seals. Also thoroughly enjoyed the laid back setup on the shows, where you don't have to sign up or pay extra, they are on a recurring schedule. You can easily make the Seal, Sea Otter, and Sea Lion shows without having to rush or miss out on other parts of the Aquarium. The interior does have quite a bit to see as well. I liked the Pacific Canada and Treasures of the BC coast as of course that is highlighting the local wildlife we do not get to see. Naturally, what visit to an aquarium is complete without a stop at the gift shop? We all found some great and fun merch to bring home as we exited. All-in-all this a great aquarium in such an equally great setting and city. It might not have the biggest footprint of others you may visit in North America, but more than makes up for it in the beautiful setting, outdoor enclosures, and helpful staff.

We spent $28 for 15 tokens and then looked around for machines to play on. I should have looked…read morefirst as most machines took 2 tokens, so that's roughly $4 per play. Even though there were lots of machines, I thought the selection was on the small side. I went back to read other Yelp reviews and some of them state that the staff gave them additional coins if they weren't winning anything. Thankfully, we didn't have to go that route, as we did come out with two stuffies. This is really different from one of our local places where it is $1 per play and for $30, we're getting 5+ toys. It was a late afternoon on a weekday and we were the only customers there for most of the visit. The one woman working the counter was nice and helped reposition some prizes. One of the toys we got was a Totoro that was very soft - quality seems good. I think you can have fun here, but I'd recommend walking the floor first to make sure you have the right expectations.

In the past we've found that it's usually quite difficult to win any prizes from claw machines; however, I had seen an Instagram reel where the reviewer said that it wasn't that hard with these machines. She was right. My daughter ended up winning something on her very first try! I spent about $10 at Sumo Dino Claw City and my daughter walked away with two Demon Slayer items including a plush Nezuko. (Her favourite character from Demon Slayer) Could have actually saved myself $4 as she won her two prizes already after using only $6 worth of tokens.

If you tentatively book your number of guests, make sure you confirm with your guests or you'll be charged for every one including no-shows without proper notice. They verbally said 48hrs. On the website it says 24hrs. Aside from contractual logistics, I give a solid 3 star rating.

If you have a young kid who is bored doing all the typical sightseeing stuff, this was a good break for him and he easily spent an hour, and possibly an hour and a half, and he still didn't want to leave. It's not any place you need to go out of your way to visit, but if you're in the area and your young kid just needs a break from all the "boring" adult stuff, this is a good place to take them so they can let off some steam. Also, the whole Kids Market building is well done as well.

Quite a few machines were out of order, but we were able to find some to play. On the side, you can redeem your tickets for prizes. Downstairs, the kids can enter the climbing structures and ball pit.

It's honestly so much fun for kids and adults, and there's something about riding through the park that brings out that feeling of being a child again. Although December is my favourite time to go, the train is wonderful throughout the whole year. It's a lovely family activity and one of those attractions that never really gets old. I have so many fond memories of riding this train. It's honestly so sad that the train was non-operational for over a year, only to return for a couple of months before being suspended again. I really hope it comes back, but after everything that has happened, I have my doubts about whether it will actually return. It would be such a shame to lose such a beloved part of Stanley Park, especially one that has brought so much joy to generations of families.
