You would probably enjoy getting over to Granville Island. There are little harbour ferries that transport people from near the Aquatic Center at Thurlow and Beach Ave over to the Island (Aquabus and False Creek Ferries that operate all along False Creek) Well worth a round trip ride. A walk along the whole of English Bay is also a pleasure.

The shoreline in Yaletown is pretty stunning, and you can catch a mini-ferry across to Grandville Island. They are not cheap, but it's so nice to be out on the water when the weather is nice. You can walk from Grandville Island along a pedestrian footpath that takes you to Vanier Park where you will find the Vancouver Museum and the Maritime Museum, both interesting and worth a visit. You might also really enjoy China Town and a visit to the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden.

Thx all. Great advice.

Granville Island, Kitsilano including the beach, yaletown and maybe stanley park. could do yaletown one morning and then get the aquabus from the bottom of davie to granville isl. for lunch, wander, shops, artist studios, brewery tour and theatres. enjoy!

Thanks to all, we just got back from a great trip and marvelous weather. We ended up just walking around Robson Street area as our "free" time was on Sunday when most of the shops in Yaletown were closed (probably should have mentioned it was Sunday we were going).

The kids had a great time at Grouse Mountain/Capillano Bridge and we did a 1/2 day of fishing that was fun.

We also took everyone to Granville Island and had dinner at the Sandbar, wh/ I would definitely recommend to all. We also had dinner at Salam Bombay wh/ was fantastic Indian food.

So glad you had a good time. Thanks for letting us know. It's good to hear that making suggestions is helpful in some way.
