A great place to buy some authentic Native art work and jewellery. I bought a beautiful piece for my wife and a beautiful earrings/necklace set. The piece of art came with information about the artist. The service was terrific as well. I will return to purchase something else in the future. It is nice to know that you are not getting ripped off by buying some cheap Chinese knock off( no offence).

Park Royal Shopping Centre

Reviewed By cstjw

Park Royal is a great place for shopping, dining or just wandering around. It has a wide variety of shops ranging from small boutiques to large name-brand stores (Whole Foods, Best Buy, etc.). Prices seemed reasonable and customer service was excellent. The Mall is clearly very popular with locals so parking though plentiful can be tricky to negotiate. There are many eating and drinking places ranging from coffee bars to full scale restaurants. Getting there from downtown Vancouver is a breeze and costs C$3.00 by bus (257, 254, 250 run every few minutes) which I highly recommend! I relied on public transportation and 'Shank's Pony' the 4 days I visited Vancouver. No need to rent a car or use taxis (my opinion).

The acquatic center is a complex of pools that accomodates all ages and most activities. The children's area is well supervised and even ahs a nice water slide. There are really good classes for adults and, of course, the swimming area is very nice. The only downside is that the men's changing room is very small and very crowded at times.
