Five Activities to do on a Rainy Vancouver Day

1)      Vancouver Aquarium – With dolphins and belugas, as well as over 70,000 other creatures, the Vancouver Aquarium is a great way to spend a rainy day.  Keep warm inside walking through the attractions, sit down and watch an amazing 4D movie, and then pull that poncho over your head and outside for the rest of attractions!

2)      Vancouver Museums – Vancouver has some great museums such as the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Vancouver Maritime Museum, Science World, as well as the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) which is conveniently located directly on campus! Keep your eyes peeled for posters around Tbird and campus, MOA is a hot spot for advisors to host events.

3)      Bloedel Floral Conservatory – Situated atop of Queen Elizabeth Park, this conservatory is a great place to relieve some stress and take a stroll while bird watching and learning about ecology ( a great way to supplement your studies!)

5)      Vancouver Indoor Pools – If you don’t want to get wet outside, why not get wet while indoors.  Vancouver has some of the best indoor pools around, and they are a great way to get some exercise or relieve some stress in the hot tubs.  UBC has its own Aquatic Centre which is close to home, and who wouldn’t want to swim in the same water as a former World Record holder.
