We don’t have to book a ticket or pack the playpen to feel like the family’s getting away this summer, thanks to these day trip destinations, just outside city limits.
Deep Cove: North Vancouver
A quick trip over the bridge and into North Vancouver and our family is living the coastal life – kayaks, canoes and a great park on the water.

Historic Stewart Farm: Surrey
Don’t just get the family out of the city, get them out of this century with a tour of this old-time farmhouse and heritage gardens (everyone’s in costume too).

Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby
When the kids are down make your way up – this park has great views, hiking trails and it’s the perfect spot for flying a kite.

Crescent Beach: White Rock
Mix up the beach repertoire: dig those shovels into some new sand and burn off the ice cream cone with a walk along the promenade.
