56 Days To Go!

The Grouse Grind

Grouse Mountain

Want to show up with a real appetite? We invite you to take the stairs! Kidding! Gondola rides both ways are included, but feel free to come early if you want to make the most of the mountain and its many activities.

Kitsilano Pool

2305 Cornwall Ave, Vancouver, BC V6K 1B6, Canada
(604) 731-0011

Go for a swim at Vancouver's famous Kitsilano Outdoor Pool. Under the watchful eye Vancouver's premier lifeguards, say hi to Mackenzie's former coworkers (they'll know her, trust me she's a legend), at the longest outdoor pool in North America. Next door, is The Local which serves up a mean Caesar and delicious fish tacos.


Hide your fries though, the seagulls don't mess around.

The Eatery

3431 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4, Canada
(604) 738-5298

Relive Mackenzie and Franklin's first dinner date, at the Eatery.


For complete authenticity, someone has to spill soy sauce on their shirt, and dessert needs to be at Rain or Shine Ice Cream.

Walk Spanish Banks to Jericho Beach

NW Marine Dr, Vancouver

Enjoy a 2.5km (one-way) walk between our two favorite beaches in the city. If you're game, stop at Jericho Beach Kayak Centre, where Franklin spent a summer as a beach bum and go for a paddle! Head out for sunset, if you can!


Available for rent is our dog, Bean, for the afternoon - she's quite fond of the area, especially at low tide.

Cycle the Stanley Park Seawall

1798 W Georgia St, Vancouver, BC V6G 2V7, Canada
(604) 688-5141

Rent a bike at Spokes Bicycle Rentals, to re-enact Franklin and Mackenzie's 18th date! Bring along some goodies for a picnic at Third Beach, and bike the Stanley Park Seawall (counter-clockwise, of course).


Please share pictures, especially if you opt in for a tandem bike.

Explore Granville Island

1535 Johnston Street, Creekhouse #102, 1535 Johnston St #35, Vancouver, BC V6H 3S6, Canada
(604) 669-9030

Enjoy an afternoon at Vancouver's iconic Granville Island. Check out an improv show, eat incredible seafood at The Sandbar, explore the public market, marvel at the cement plant that's somehow still there, and pamper yourself at Circle Wellness Spa. Extra points if you take the Aquabus - of course.


Oh, and if you thought the seagulls at Kits Pool were bad, wait 'til you see these beasts.

Dog Mountain Trail

1700 Mt Seymour Rd, North Vancouver, BC V7H 2N4, Canada

Dog mountain hike (5km round trip) from the top of Mount Seymour Resort, offers the best bang-for-buck view in the Lower Mainland, if you ask us. Check the weather before heading out as clouds will block the view on overcast days! We've made this mistake many times before...but it was still a great workout!
