Grounds for Coffee YVR
If you're looking for a delicious cinnamon bun in Vancouver, definitely check out Grounds for Coffee.
With several locations around the city, Grounds for Coffee offers home-baked buns made from locally-sourced ingredients. You can choose whether it's topped with icing or without. They also have monthly specials like their Wild berry buns.
Their kid-approved, nut-free buns are pretty popular and big enough to share.
Stop by a Grounds for Coffee location for a scrumptious cinnamon bun and a coffee!

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!
