Parks & Nature
Stroll, jog or ride around this beautiful park. Beautiful trees and flowers with picturesque ponds. The park also has the largest cedar totem pole (160 feet). Beside the park is a must visit to the Beacon Hill drive thru, where you can walk through for a coffee, tea or my kids favourite soft ice cream.

Arts & Culture
We like to come here on a rainy day. Lots to explore in the museum. Currently the Egypt Exhibit is on and it's amazing. Children love to go through Old Town which has it's own train station, boat, mining town and more. You can also catch a film at the IMAX.
