Very scenic place. You can relax by the Straight of Georgia while watching the sea planes take off, or you can hike many of the park's trails, some winding deep into the wilderness. You can find breathtaking views of the ocean anywhere along the sea wall trail. The Vancouver Aquarium was relatively small, but had a great student fare and many exciting exhibits. One can find the totem poles on the northeast side of the park, just passed the statue of the mermaid that's just off shore. In all, I give Vancouver a 8/10 rating.
