Spring Break in Vancouver: Adventure Around Every Corner

Spring break 2026 runs from March 14 to March 29, and Vancouver is absolutely packed with world-class attractions, outdoor adventures, and family-friendly events.  

Not sure where to start? We’ve rounded up the best spring break activities for families across Vancouver to help you plan the ultimate getaway.  

FlyOver Canada

If your family’s looking for a truly unforgettable experience, FlyOver Canada is a must. Located right on the downtown waterfront, this immersive attraction invites you to sit back, lift your feet, and prepare to soar. The experience uses advanced flight motion seats, a massive 65-foot wraparound screen, and special effects like wind, mist, and scents to make you feel as though you’re truly flying. As the journey unfolds, you’ll glide over breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cities while captivating stories connect you to the people, cultures, and spirit of these incredible places. 

Open daily from 10 AM to 8:30 PM.

Vancouver Aquarium

The Vancouver Aquarium is a world of marine wonder and one of North America’s best aquariums. Playful sea otters tumble through the water, colorful fish dart among coral, and glowing jellyfish drift gracefully in their tanks. Fun, hands-on exhibits spark curiosity for kids and adults alike. It’s a magical way to explore the ocean’s wonders without leaving the city.

Open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. 

Hoppy Heights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Running from March 14 through April 6, the Easter-themed Hoppy Heights event at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is an absolute spring break highlight. Cross the iconic suspension bridge high above the Capilano River, take in breathtaking rainforest views, and let the kids dive into interactive scavenger hunts, activity booklets packed with wildlife facts, and fun learning stations around every corner.

Open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Free shuttle available from Canada Place.

Granville Island Kids Market

A visit to Granville Island Kids Market is a spring break must-do, and this year’s schedule (March 15–27) is packed with fun activities. Kids can enjoy face painting, watch magic and puppet shows, or even catch an exciting lightsaber performance. There’s something happening every day, from balloon twisting and crafts to garden workshops, so the little ones will never run out of ways to explore and play.

Cineplex Family Movies

When you need a cozy break from sightseeing, Cineplex’s Family Favourites lineup has you covered. This spring break, catch Rocky's Cat-astrophe, Karate Kid: Legends, The Bad Guys 2, or the brand new SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Tickets start at just $3.99, making it an incredible deal for an afternoon of big-screen entertainment.

Stanley Park & Seawall

No trip to Vancouver is complete without time spent in Stanley Park. Bike, walk, rollerblade, or simply stroll along the Seawall while breathing in the fresh ocean air and taking in stunning views of the mountains and the inlet. The park's forest trails, beaches, and open green spaces make it one of the finest urban parks in the world, and it’s completely free to explore. 

Open year-round, all day. Bike rentals available at Spokes Bicycle Rentals.
