Here, you can learn all there is to know about the city, starting from the ancient times and lifestyles of the Musqueam people up to present-day city life in Vancouver. Located in the scenic area of Vanier Park, the museum is easily accessible from downtown and one of the best places to see in Vancouver on a rainy day."

"There are all kinds of cool things to see at the Museum of Vancouver, a lot of it showing the history behind one of Canada’s most populated cities. The Neon Vancouver | Ugly Vancouver exhibit is the my favourite of them all, and it gives you a glimpse of Vancouver between the 1950s to 1970s. Vancouver had around 19,000 neon signs during the 1950s, which was more than Las Vegas at the time, so it’s really awesome to see!"

"Sports fans can check out the BC Sports Hall of Fame & Museum at BC Place. Attractions include interactive exhibits such as a rotating climbing wall, 14 meter timed running track, and bubble hockey.

"On June 13, 1886, there was the Great Vancouver Fire, which took many buildings with it. The Hastings Mill Store was left untouched, leaving it to be Vancouver's oldest building. It wasn't originally at this location, but was built in Gastown and was saved from demolition and put on a barge to it's current location."

"The oldest building that is still surviving in Vancouver is the Hastings Mill Store. It was once located on the South shore of the Burrard Inlet. Built in 1865 and dedicated to Captain Edward Stamp, Hastings Mill Store was used as a sawmill company under Edward’s possession."

"A post shared by Broken Hops Glass (@brokenhopsglassco) on Jun 21, 2018 at 10:20am PDT. Showcasing a casual and friendly atmosphere, The Moose is an excellent place for you to sit back and relax after a day out in Vancouver. Order some crispy dumplings or moose balls if you would like something light, but try the moose burger or beef dip au jus if you want something heavier."

"One of Canada's first collaborative brewery, Callister Brewing is not only a great spot for fine craft beers, but is also a hub for young talented micro brewers looking for a way in the industry, having three other in-house brands brewing along side their own house brands, this brewery has an ever changing selection to delight your curiosity and delight your taste buds."

"Callister was hard to qualify on this list, as the brewery itself actively maintains an ongoing contract brewing cycle with a number of new rotating labels. Nevertheless, the focus on creativity (both in the beer, and in the local art showcases) helped propel them into the top ten."

"Pretty awesome little spot with about 4 local craft breweries getting off the ground. The beer is better than home brew and always has a few newby's you'll want to check out."

"Halfway along Water Street, the oddly popular Steam Clock is a tourist magnet that lures the cameras with its tooting steam whistle. Built in 1977, the clock's mechanism is actually driven by electricity; only the pipes on top are steam fueled (reveal that to the patiently waiting tourists and you might cause a riot). It sounds every 15 minutes and marks each hour with little whistling symphonies."

"Our final stop, near our dinner location, was the famous, still functional, Clock Tower. According to the panel underneath it, it is the first steam powered clock in the world."

"A working steam clock, one of only a few in the world, located in Vancouver's Victorian Gastown. Vancouver, British Columbia"
