What to do in Vancouver: West Side Community Centre Drop-Ins

Its that time of year again. Time to get yourself and your kids out of the house before you all go stir crazy. If your house is anything like mine, winter is getting in the way of your mental wellness. But getting out isn’t that easy. It’s cold and it’s raining. Even a venti latte won’t make a trip to the park very enjoyable. You’re all out of ideas when it comes to what to do in Vancouver with your kids. Sound familiar?

It’s time to get acquainted with some indoor family-friendly options, especially if you’ve got toddlers or preschoolers at home. You can only drag them to the mall so many times, before standing out in the rain at the monkey bars almost starts to sound good.

With Parent and Tot Gym sessions on most Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, your toddler is sure to burn some energy before nap time at the Kitsilano Community Centre.

Certain drop-in times require a one-on-one parent to child ratio, while other times permit two or even three siblings per parent. Be sure to check the online schedule to choose the right day and time and to check the dates of operation.

    – Skating at the local rec centre
    – The playground at Stanley Park
    – bowling
    – hike Grouse Grind
    – read Harry Potter books
    – play stick and puck hockey at rec centre (drop in)
    – start Geocaching (no GPS required)

  • We love the parent and tot gym at the Dunbar Community Centre. I just heard that the West Point Grey CC has one too (F, Sa, Su 10:30-12)!
