  • Today was our first visit in quite a few years, maybe 6 or so. We went for Second Saturday, and the 13 year olds enjoyed it. We also enjoyed walking on the trails and looking at birds. Great place!

  • A great place for kids to let off steam and enjoy water activities. Many people stopped to take pictures.

  • my son's daycare was closed so I wanted to get him out of the house. I called up another Mom friend to see if she wanted to visit the center with me. we met at The water resource center at 9:30 thinking it opened at 9 per The website. they don't open till 10. staff let us in early because it was Cold and windy. I remember coming to this place as a kid and it being huge. as an adult I feel like it's smaller than I remember. either way it's a great Free place in Vancouver for kids to have fun and learn about water. it's like a mini Free omsi.
  • My 3 year and I visited on a Wednesday morning, and we were the only ones there for a couple of hours! Lots of fun interactive exhibits that are more geared toward older kids (maybe elementary/middle school age?), but my daughter was still entertained, and we had some good conversations about how we can take care of the earth. There were a few exhibits that weren’t in working order, but otherwise the facility was very nice!
