Miniature Railway & Children's Farmyard
Near the aquarium, these twin, kid-friendly attractions are a big draw in summer.

In contrast, the railway offers a 15-minute train ride that kids of all ages can enjoy.

Vancouver Aquarium
Stanley Park's biggest draw, the aquarium is home to 9000 water-loving creatures - including sharks, dolphins, Amazonian caimans and a somewhat shy octopus. There's also a small, walk-through rainforest area full of birds, butterflies and turtles. Check out the iridescent jellyfish tank and the two sea otters that eat the way everyone should: lying on their backs using their chests as plates.
