We love Vanier Park. It is one of annual go-to destinations for enjoying a place where nature and urban beauty come together and is the perfect place to show what makes Vancouver beautiful. And not only beautiful but the cultural hub of our city too. Vanier Park is home to Vancouver Maritime Museum, Museum of Vancouver, H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, Bard on the Beach, Vancouver Academy of Music, and City of Vancouver Archives.
Each year, the group teams up for a one-day event where locals and their families can enjoy a taste of what Vanier Park’s cultural institutions have to offer. For only $5.00, youth, seniors and adults receive admission to all venues, while kids five and younger can visit for free. The event this year takes place on Saturday, February 7th, just before our BC Family Day.
“Winter Wander is a unique opportunity to not only showcase all Vanier Park has to offer, but to bring its members together in the spirit of collaboration, says Space Centre CEO Raylene Marchand. “By joining together, we’re able to put on a great event that in turn strengthens our connection to each other, and also to the community we operate in.”
New this year, there will be complimentary beverages, oar-shaping demonstrations by Vancouver Maritime Museum, and the Museum of Vancouver’s exhibition of Musqueam culture. This is a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy and learn together the history and culture that makes our city so special.
Winter Wander at Vanier Park is presented by Port Metro Vancouver with help from the event sponsors City, LG104.3 and We Love Van.
