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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
