Stop At: Vancouver Public Library (Central Library Branch), 340 West Georgia St, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 6B1 Canada

Bookworms will go berserk over the Vancouver Public Library's Central Branch, a behemoth nine-storey structure resembling the Colosseum.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Museum of Vancouver, 1100 Chestnut St at Vanier Park, Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 3J9 Canada

Sub-teens and teens will be enthralled by the story behind Vancouver then, and Vancouver now. Peer through windows into a century-old home—a world without TVs and microwaves. Through souvenirs and artifacts, track the story of the early explorers who started this city. A series of glass-sided mountains reveals the many sides of Vancouver, as well as an ancient mummy.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Vancouver Maritime Museum, 1905 Ogden Ave, Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 1A3 Canada

This triangular glass structure was built around the historic St. Roch, the first ship to ever sail the Northwest Passage across the top of Canada from west to east. Aboard, there are bunks-"Gee, Mom, how did they fit in something that small?"- the Captain's quarters, and more to see. Kids love to take a turn at the wheel and imagine they're ploughing through arctic ice. P.S. Don't miss the wonderful model ships—the museum has its own resident ship-builder, the historic boats moored down at the water's edge, or the nearby totem pole.


Duration: 45 minutes
