[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been to both - Acadia, hands down.[b] In Vancouver, you have to really work at finding the fun.[/b] I enjoyed my trip to Vancouver as an adult, newly married. It's like any other big city, really.

But, with kids, Acadia is the place to go. Ice cream stores, hiking, natural beauty everywhere, lobster, the national park. [/quote]

Really? We were there last summer and I didn't feel that we were "working" to find fun?

explored Stanley Park our first day (went to the aquarium, took a carriage ride, saw the totem poles, rented bikes and rode along the sea wall, walked along the beach at low tide looking at tidal pools)
did the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Cliff walk
rode the aquabus to Granville Island
checked out the the Chinese Garden
rode the gondola up to Grouse Mountain and did the aerial obstacle course
drove up the Sea to Sky highway, stopped at Shannon Falls and Brandywine Falls, and did the Sea to Sky gondola
Went whale watching
took a seaplane to Victoria, walked around the harbor area, had a nice lunch at the Empress hotel[/quote]

NP here. We did many similar things a few years back (plus saw the Women's World Cup). There is so much to do in Vancouver. If your girls don't love to hike, then I vote Vancouver. You can still do lots of active things (and lots of walking too) but balance it out with other activities. [/quote]

OP here. Do you have any other activities to add to this list?[/quote]

Not the PP, but that's a solid list, and a few other nice things in Vancouver:

VanDusen Botantical Gardens (if you are into plants/flowers/gardens it's amazing)
Kitsilano Beach/English Bay Beach
The food!  [b]Such good food, especially various East Asian and Indian[/b]

Hence, the nickname, Van Kong.
