» Ten Vancouver Activities for Mature Travellers
- Cheer on the Vancouver Canadians during a nostalgic afternoon of baseball at Nat Bailey Stadium (www.canadiansbaseball.com).
- Enjoy a summer evening Shakespeare performance at Bard on the Beach (www.bardonthebeach.org), where the backdrop is a stunning view of the moonlit mountains.
- Relive the pioneering past at Burnaby Village Museum (www.burnabyvillagemuseum.ca), a replica turn-of-the-century village next to Deer Lake Park. Don't miss a twirl on the 1912 carousel.
- Dip into some cool tunes at the giant Vancouver International Jazz Festival (www.coastaljazz.ca), held around the city in June and July.
- Cut loose on a sunny summer afternoon at Stanley Park. Check out the totem poles and the rose garden then have a late afternoon tea at The Fish House in Stanley Park (www.fishhousestanleypark.com).
- Drive to Steveston in Richmond and stroll the restored fisherman's wharf, now teeming with gift stores and the region's best fish and chip restaurants.
- Head to Vancouver's annual Pacific National Exhibition (www.pne.bc.ca), a decades-old tradition of livestock shows and home and garden displays that also has plenty of options for kids - you can watch them while they hit the rollercoasters.
- Bask in the tranquillity of Chinatown's Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden (www.vancouverchinesegarden.com).
- Take in the city from the water with a narrated harbour cruise (www.boatcruises.com) aboard an old-style paddle steamer.
- Peruse the city's art collection at the celebrated Vancouver Art Gallery (www.vanartgallery.bc.ca) - look out for Emily Carr paintings of the region's verdant West Coast wilderness.
