![]() Our first stop was the Vancouver Aquarium, the largest aquarium in Canada and the first in the world to commit to no longer capturing cetaceans from the ocean for display. To save some cash, we headed out on the Vancouver trolley hop-on hop-off tour, which loops through Stanley Park and other main sites in the city. We had hoped to walk or take a bike tour along the water to Stanley Park but that wasn’t fun in the rain either. We were bummed to cancel our Vancouver seaplane tour, but it wasn’t worth it if all you could see was rain and fog. Located right on the Harbourfront, it offered great views of the Vancouver Skyline and we took advantage of amenities like the Club Lounge. The Pan Pacific Vancouver was the perfect choice. Therefore it was important to us to stay in a very walkable location to all the major attractions we wanted to visit, with easy access to public transportation. Since we were planning to primarily stay in downtown Vancouver and not visit sites like the Capilano Suspension Bridge, we didn’t want to rent a car while in the city. ![]() If you click a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission.

But we didn’t travel across the country to stay in the hotel, as cozy as it may be. ![]() Unfortunately, our gamble didn’t pay off and we were blessed with two full days of pouring rain. ![]() So we rolled the dice and hoped that the West Coast’s dry spell would last just a little bit longer. We needed to use an Air Canada credit by the end of the year, Hannah had a four-day weekend from school, and Glenn was spending most of the fall on the West Coast for business anyway. We were warned that November was the beginning of the rainy season in Vancouver, but circumstances aligned to make it an ideal time for us to visit. ![]()
