Polar Express - this was very very expensive for what it inevitably turned out to be. We paid…read morealmost $300 for 5 silver tickets, about the same as the Harry Potter experience! Now I don't know if it's very expensive to run the train back and forth along maybe a 1km span slowly for an hr or what. The kids got confused and I genuinely thought they'd forgotten someone and had to go back to the station until it continued past and went back and forth in an industrial area and past the same houses and condos numerous times. I really expected we'd go to another destination one way for 20-30 mins for a drop off somewhere magical and come back an hr or so later. Even if that wasn't the case, just go in one direction for 20 mins, then come back, make the trip worthwhile! The train itself is nice, interesting to see the Rocky mountaineer up close. Christmas decor was very minimal, a string of lights on each end and the pre packaged cookie came in the last 10 mins of the "journey". The cast of characters that came through was fun for the kids. No Santa on our train. And Christmas music made it festive. The museum that serves as the "North Pole" was decked out nicely for what it was and I appreciate the effort from what I can assume was mostly volunteer run and put together. It did remind me very much of what they would do at a place like the Roundhouse community center though... Had I known how it would be for the price we paid, I think we would have allocated that hefty sum to another set of activities around Vancouver. Even my 7 year old was saying 'look we're just back at the same station, we didn't go anywhere!'. I'm sure on a regular museum day it's a nice place. But seriously, for the amount of money we were charged, quite disappointed overall. Been there, done that. It was a decent experience for the children overall but there's so many other things that kind of $$ could be spent on. Know what you're buying and maybe you won't have the expectations we did.

Came here pre-Covid days...since one of my friends loves trains and train museums. Did some…read moreresearch prior and thought this would be a cool place for the group to visit. It only took us about 45-60 minutes to go through the site...There are several trains that you can go inside and take a walk through. Nice education of trains back in the days... Well maintained Tip: For discounts, look for deals on Groupon or the like...we got a groupon that saved us $. Feel free to donate for the upkeep of the railway park when you are there.

I had a wonderful time at the Squamish Vegan Festival this past weekend!…read more Everything about it - from the location, to the events that were planned were absolutely amazing! I got an opportunity to try out pottery, ariel silks and various forms of breath work and acro yoga for the first time! Their workshops on health and nutrition, zero-waste cooking tips and animal rights activism were extremely well structured and put together. I was looking forward to the zero-waste, vegan and the wellness aspects of the festival and they didn't disappoint. I personally am not big on dancing, but the DJ selection they had on each of the nights were absolutely unbelievable! So good that even I found myself dancing till late! The volunteers and organizers were extremely friendly and made sure everything was well looked after. The tent sites and facilities were really clean and very taken care of for all three days I was there. There were many food options from burgers to grain bowls to breakfast and desserts which were reasonably priced (unlike some of the other events I've attended). The kombucha, cold coffee and beers were very refreshing as well. This was the first festival I participate in and it truly was an unforgettable experience! I had made last-minute plan to drive down from Seattle for this, and it was totally worth it! Really looking forward to attending this every opportunity I get!

I spent over $200 for me, my husband and my daughter to attend from Vancouver. What was advertised…read moreas a A 3-DAY, 2-STAGE MUSIC, WELLNESS & FOOD FESTIVAL WITH OVER 36 HOURS OF ACTIVITIES, WORKSHOPS, PERFORMANCES & MORE - was a complete scam. We arrived on Sunday at noon to the site and there was no food, except an table selling samosas, a "Main Stage" that looked like a bunch of kids propped up some sticks and an old blanket and put a board under in and called it a day, and a small group of maybe a dozen people just sitting. It was soooo sad and extremely disappointing. I'll include my video and you will get the full gist of the experience they provided. Again, a total scam! So disappointing. Ugh - can't attached my video, sorry :( - it's probably for the best as it is not pleasant.

I had a terrible experience at this art gallery on Granville Island today. I went into the store…read morewith my brother and a friend (visitor to Vancouver). I picked up one of the display plants for not even 3seconds when I was SHOUTED by the older lady working in the store. She screamed at me immediately and gave me the most horrible look saying "Why are you touching that!!!??? That is not for sale! Do not touch that!" I can understand it shouldn't of been touched and perhaps I didn't realize but her tone and demeanour was quite frightening, she could of said it in a polite way. My brother had to intervene as she was quite aggressive, she then started talking to him very unprofessionally too. Whoever this lady is, she should not be working in the retail business if that is how she talks to people who weren't even in her store for 5min. We left the gallery immediately and will not be returning, ever again.
