A special PLACE

Nancy Chilton, Marketing Manager at Vancouver

Attractions, on the many experiences that make a visit to the city so remarkable.

It is going to be another fabulous year for visitors to Vancouver. I tend to be an early riser and I like thast we have lots of great attraction experiences available and the live music and festival scene is back to pre-Covid levels. Plus, our food and beverage options are limitless. I think visitors will enjoy the energy of our city. We have a very ethnically diverse population that is active in the outdoors. We have the mountains and the sea on our doorstep, while we enjoy our cultural offerings, art, theatre, dance, food and wine. Each of the attractions listed on our website offers a different experience, so whatever your interest, you can find something to suit. Many of our neighbourhoods – Main Street, The Shipyards District and Mount Pleasant just to name a few, took advantage of creating outdoor community spaces during the pandemic. These spaces are in Vancouver, you should explore annual memberships at any of our attractions to maximise your investment and time. thriving and offer very local Vancouver experiences that many of our guests will enjoy. All of our museums offer insights into indigenous BC and Vancouver history, while our outdoor partners, particularly the Sea to Sky Gondola, Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain, take you right into nature. They all offer fantastic seasonal experiences too, so if you’re living vancouverattractions.com

The Shipyards District is one of my favourite spots, particularly on Friday or Saturday night in the summer – there is usually free live music and there are lots of great craft breweries nearby. So after a day exploring an attraction or two, I would recommend an evening spent there.

When it comes to daytrips, the Sea-to-Sky Corridor is not to be missed. Two of our attraction partners can be visited on your journey, too – the Sea to Sky Gondola and the Britannia Mine Museum, which is a National Historic Site that includes an Underground Mine Tour. It’s very cool. And the drive will take your breath away… It still does for me every time, and I’ve probably driven it a thousand times. It should be listed in the top ten drives in the world.

What I love most about my job is that I am promoting quality experiences to people who are travelling and seeking new adventures. It’s so much better than selling insurance! And, I hike in the North Shore Mountains every day of the year!
