Our day trip via Epic bus from Vancouver deposited us within spitting distance of the Town Plaza, Olympic Plaza, etc. but, in all honesty, this is a pretty small piece of geography. Not wanting to split hairs, it is mere steps from one point to another and all the others. And so, here it is: Whistler Village's various named off-shoots are all parts of Whistler's Village. Enjoy the adventure, eat and shop and explore. The Town Plaza is the main area upon arrival. But do adventure out to visit walking destinations (like Lost Lake) and follow your nose. The Whistler Village is small enough that folks cannot get lost unless they really, really work at it.

We made a day trip to Whistler from Vancouver just to hang out and enjoy life in the ski village. The buzz and atmosphere felt like any other ski village despite the miserable weather. In the main square itself, there’s a plaque of all the paralympian medalists from the 2010 games and also the Canadian medalists which helps add a special feeling to the village.

There wasn't much going on in the plaza during our stay, however it is a pretty area with a playground and a large grassy area good for kids and dogs to run around. It's a nice place to sit if you have some take-out food. The entire village is beautiful, and there are the Olympic rings which make for great photos.
