Really Big Round Things

Try a shape scavenger hunt around the city, how many big round things can you spot?

Vancouver Lookout

Take a very long elevator ride for a view over the city on this bird nest-like observatory. The ride up is a bit pricey, so maybe only for special occasions or taking visitors.

555 West Hastings Street, Vancouver

Bloedel Conservatory

This giant dome hides a tropical paradise, especially wonderful in the depths of winter. Spot birds flying free, lizards and exotic fish.

Things to do on rainy days

Science World

Watch the giant golf ball light up at night, shift colours and reflect in the water of False Creek.

1455 Quebec St, Vancouver

Vancouver Convention Centre West

A big carpeted indoor space downtown that’s handy for small people to burn off some steam on rainy days. Huge glowing globe above the escalators is cool too.

Vancouver Library Central Branch

Huge and beautiful children’s department, covered outdoor space in this iconic round structure downtown. One of my favourite places when I don’t know where else to go.
