The geodesic dome on False Creek: two floors of touch-everything exhibits, an OMNIMAX theatre, and a live demo where something gets set on fire on purpose.

Feet dangling over a 20 metre dome screen at Canada Place, you sweep from the Rockies to the aurora with wind, mist and pine scent timed to the turns.

A 4.9 rated Thai spa on Quayside Drive, ten steps from the Fraser and open until eight, seven days.
