Hey Dan, I don't have kids and my spouse is really ill, but just in case, I just thought I'd let you know the following are good things for kids to do:
- the Vancouver Aquarium (in Stanley Park, take #19 bus westbound on Pender St. near the Delta) - Science World (big geodesic dome thingy full of science) - HR MacMillan Space Centre aka the Planetarium - Granville Island (there's a whole "kids market" building and probably other stuff I don't know about) For the last two, it's definitely fun to take the Aquabus or False Creek Ferry, you can catch them along the water on the southern shores of downtown, I think it's like $5 round trip. I don't have kids so I don't know the range of kid friendliness of restaurants, but here are places that I would classify as "definitely have booster chairs": - Old Spaghetti Factory (on Water St. in Gastown) - White Spot (somewhere on the spectrum of Swiss Chalet or Kelsey's, they have "Pirate Paks" which is like food in a boat) - Red Robin (sit-down burgers, Robson @ Thurlow, I have never been) Have fun! ~J On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 7:13 AM, Dan Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > As I'm sitting in the airport with my spouse, my 6 year old, and my 4 year > old, I was wondering if anyone else attending the conference with children > in tow would be interested in getting together for a dinner to give the > children a chance to meet and significant others a chance to (potentially) > coordinate some daytime plans... > > Perhaps Wednesday night?
