Spend a day in South Cambie: City Hall

South Cambie may be one of the Vancouver’s smallest neighbourhoods, but it packs a big punch when it comes to family friendly outings. From West 16th to West 41st avenue, and a few blocks between Oak and Cambie, there are plenty of things for you and your kids to explore.

Spend a day in South Cambie: Queen Elizabeth Park

The Nectar Trail

As a way to protect bees in urban areas, the Environmental Youth Alliance and the City of Vancouver have created a green corridor between two of the city’s biggest parks – Queen Elizabeth and VanDusen Botanical Garden. Oak Meadows Park is a well maintained park beautifully sprinkled with wildflowers, and it’s a great place to bring your toddlers to teach them about the Nectar Trail. Check out the insect hotel and the nearby off-leash dog park. Best to leave the stroller behind for better mobility.

Spend a day in South Cambie: Tandem Bike Cafe

Tandem Bike Café

A great place to grab some fuel for a morning exploration in Cambie. This teeny café/bike repair shop nestled in a quiet residential area, is the perfect place for a quick pit stop with the kids. Quick service, a fantastic and adorable menu with something for everyone, and plenty of java to keep you adventuring well into the evening. There’s even a small play area where the kids can stay occupied for five minutes or so.

Park Theatre

A great family theatre to head to on a lazy afternoon, or on Tuesday when admission is only $7. If your kids have the patience of kids, this theatre is a great choice. It might not have the pizazz of a big screen, but you’re compensated with few lineups.

City Hall

Head just outside the borders of South Cambie to explore the great Vancouver City Hall. It’s free including two-hours of parking if you drive. There’s also a large park on the north side with plenty of green space to hang out.
