Vancouver Rainy Day - Top Ten Things To Do1. Go Shopping! Duck in and out of the designer shops on Robson Street, go totally underground in Pacific Place in downtown Vancouver, or ride the skytrain or bus to Metrotown Mall in Burnaby, Richmond Center, Asia West in Richmond, Chinatown shops in Vancouver, Punjabi Market.
2. Ride the Aquabus & explore the galleries and Public Market on Granville Island.
3. Try Museum-hopping: UBC Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver Maritime Museum in Kits and the Vancouver Art Gallery are all interesting things to see indoors in Vancouver.
4. Visit Horseshoe Bay for a look at one of the prettiest ocean inlets anywhere. The rain almost adds an extra element of drama to the mountains sliding into the sea . You can also hop on the ferry to Bowen Island, where lunch at Doc Morgan’s Inn & Pub is a pleasant 5 minute walk from the dock.
5. Check out Science World and HR MacMillian Space Centre and all the fun displays they have.
6. See Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge or Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in the rain – if you’ve ever wondered what a Pacific Northwest rainforest looks like in the rain, this will give you an idea.
The forested areas offer some protection from the drizzle (as long as it’s light rain – not a heavy downpour coming down sideways!), and you can enjoy these natural wonders of Vancouver in more of their natural state.
7. Admire Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden - these immaculate gardens are an easy attraction to get to near downtown Vancouver when it rains.
8. Go for Coffee! See Vancouverites up-close in one of their favourite pastimes – sipping java at a neighborhood cafe. Try Cafe Calabria or Abruzzo on Commercial Drive, Caffè Artigiano (several locations in downtown Vancouver), or Bean Around the World (multiple locations).
9. See an IMAX movie at the CN IMAX Theatre at Canada Place.
10. Travel to Steveston Village in Richmond for a look at the west coast fishing village lots of small shops, fish and chip restaurants and even the Gulf of Georgia Cannery to tour.
