The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Central, Canada

September 21, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

We organized a Virtual Trivia Night to bring together friends and colleagues as a way to "see" each other safely since all of our usual dinners and parties were not happening this year. What a fantastic way to connect online!! Trivia questions were fun yet challenging and allowed smaller group teams to play together :)

We did the Mystery at the Majestic Theatre with 2 adults and 3 kids (12, 12, and 9). The staff was exceptional, the option of "unsolicited hints" was so fun and very helpful, and the whole room was so well thought out, professional, and engaging. It was definitely challenging but not infuriating, and we all had such a great time that we can't wait to try the other room. The only 'con' is the location, but the room was so good that it still gets 5/5!

FlyOver Canada

FlyOver Canada utilizes state-of-the-art technology to give you the feeling of flight. You will hang suspended, feet dangling, before a 20-metre spherical screen while our film whisks you away on an exhilarating 8-minute journey across Canada, from east to west. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create an unforgettable experience. At FlyOver Canada you will spend approximately 25 minutes getting introduced to our great country. You will first enter the pre-show area where you will be immersed in an audio-visual show of Canada "up close and personal" before heading to the boarding zone for your preflight briefing. You will then experience the unforgettable 8-minute Ultimate Flying Ride soaring over some of the most spectacular scenery the country has to offer. Open year round, 7 days a week. Conveniently located downtown at Canada Place.

This is a fabulous experience even though its only a short ride. We sit in a row of seats (7 to a row) and belt up as if we're going to fly. Once secured the safety barrier drops down and the seats move forward (or give that impression) while we are still in darkness. We then "ride" through clouds and are whisked off on a coast to coast plane ride (without the plane) taking in mountains, forests, zooming through valleys and the whole effect is quite breathtaking. We went on this ride twice but you could ride it many times and be mesmerised every time. Totally and utterly fabulous!
