    What a fun place! Shops, live music, dinner and drinks. We were in the city for a short time so we went on a Thursday afternoon 4pm-7pm and I wish we had more time. But it was great fun

    Well worth a visit 😀. We visited as a couple of mature years and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Go if you can.

    Our large group were on a day trip and the tour guide allocated an hour to go through the entire market. First impressions were omg look at the fresh fruit, pastries, veggies and delicious foods..
    The donuts are delicious and not too be missed. Coffee is great too. A prime Lunch stop or mid afternoon or morning for brunch. Loads of options. Also the stores offer unique purchases away from food. A great experience and you definitely need more than an hour.

    The exterior of the building and the roof are amazing. However, the interior is very mundane. The city where I live and another city near us have updated their central libraries in the last few years. They created unique/dramatic exteriors and the insides, while still very functional, are gorgeous. In other words, the inside and outside match each other. I can't say the same for the Vancouver Central Library.

    Amazing exhibit at the Queen Elizabeth Park. The admission prize was reasonable too. Some birds had gone to the "spa" when we went.

    Two hours for adults is plenty, took in two live shows and experimented on the numerous gizmos and exhibits that are mostly hands on. Pricey but justified due to its size and scope.

    We loved Robson Street. Super high end shops where it meets Burrard like Tiffany's and as you travel South it started to change somewhat into smaller restaurants and chain stores to eventually getting a bit rougher. But, we found many goodies to buy, and a really good Italian restaurant by walking the street. I would go back again and walk further if I were back again to Vancouver.

    The art deco exterior is astonishing. The inside is well preserved and its good that there are now two cafe bars at the main entrance which are breathing new life into this historic building.

    A darn good place for events; warm staff, easy to negotiate access, bathrooms and eats and drinks. Good location too, as we stayed in the huge complex of high rises nearby at Olympic Village (better prices than hotels near and with a whole apartment) about .8m away. And great prices co Oates to every other arena I have frequented.

    Nice Little Gallery & Museum to while away an hour or so in Vancouver Downtown. Very interesting background about familiar art and the artist who created it.

    Typical Stadium. Accoustics are not that great but more then suitable for a concert. Enjoying a concert with 50,000 + people is amazing.

    Had never been before so was excited to experience a concert here. Seeing Cigarettes After Sex here was a truly memorable event. I had front row seats and it was a spectacular show. The architecture is amazing and it’s very well kept. Highly recommend for a show.

    We decided to sample some of the beers on offer. We chose the ten 5oz beer selection. This gave us the chance to try beers we would have been unlikely to otherwise order. It was a great little spot.
