Clip n Climb Vancouver

Kids always seem to have a lot of energy and Clip n' Climb indoor climbing is a great activity for them!

Located in Richmond, you can book your 1 hour climbing session online or call in. Don't forget to sign the waiver for kids. 

Whether asking beginner or have climbed before, there are different areas for all levels. 

Clip n' Climb staff will help with the harness and do a short tutorial with the group before the session gets started.

There are different climbing walls and some unique climbs like the Climb on the Mario "pipes" and one climb in the dark.

We enjoyed trying the different wall climbs! There are a few different staff members on the floor, always on the lookout checking if you need any help. 

For snacks, there were a few snacks for sale but bringing your own is easiest.

Kid-approved and recommended for those energetic kiddos interested in rock climbing. 

Don't forget your snacks!

A Visit to the Vancouver Aquarium

The Vancouver Aquarium's Holiday Splash is a great Family activity especially on a rainy day. 

A favorite for the kids was the 4D film that is included with your ticket. They loved seeing the penguins and experiencing the special effects - like the bubbles and "snow"!

Sea lion feeding and session is also always a favorite too.

There are different places with a winter backdrop to take photos, a place to write to Scuba Santa and also several times in the day where Scuba Santa will dive down and appear in the fish tank!

The cafe and restaurant were also offering some holiday themed snacks like cute animal cookies and an All-you-can drink hot cocoa! 

*Bailey's add-on was available for the grown-ups drink order. 

It's a lovely afternoon activity but can get crowded in the indoor area. It's nice to check out the outdoor areas during your visit too. There's something for everyone to enjoy. Holiday Splash goes until Jan 4th.

Don't forget your snacks!
