Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center

This aquarium has become one of the largest in North America. Inside you'll find more than 8,000 aquatic animals, hailing from as far away as the Arctic and the Amazon. The newly opened Pacific Canada Pavilion contains a living exhibit that interprets issues facing marine life of the Georgia Straight. The main attractions, however, are the Orca, beluga and dolphin shows.

Stanley Park

Attractions are everywhere in this massive downtown park, a veritable rainforest within a metropolis. Some attractions are the Children's Farmyard, Miniature Railway, tennis courts, beaches, children's water park, heated ocean side swimming pool, the Theatre Under the Stars, the Vancouver Aquarium and the 10.5-km perimeter Seawall, which is full with joggers, walkers and rollerbladers. Once a military reserve, the park became one of the city's premier attractions by action of the city's first council.

Château Frontenac

This breathtaking medieval French structure is  a tourist attraction and a place to stay the night as well. The 605 guest rooms are of varying sizes and configuration, but equally luxurious and many offer incredible views over the St Lawrence River. Every conceivable service is available, including a top-notch fitness centre, swimming pool, whirlpool and massage therapy. Located just above the Dufferin Terrace, it is easily accessible to both Old and New Quebec.
