Vanier Park
More infoThe Museum of Vancouver lives inside a building shaped like a flying saucer in Vanier Park, which sets expectations correctly. Inside, a glowing room of salvaged vintage neon signs delivers the 'oh my god, my grandma had THAT' moments that trick you into swapping stories about your own pasts. First Sunday is pay-what-you-can, and Kits Beach is a two-minute stroll out the door.
Chase the 'oh my god, my grandma had that' moments through the 1950s living rooms and the glowing room of salvaged vintage neon, the exhibits that get you trading stories about your own pasts. Budget about 90 minutes, and aim for the pay-what-you-can first Sunday if you're watching the wallet. Then step right out into Vanier Park and stretch the date with a Kits Beach stroll next door.
