Kid-friendly Vancouver museums for the whole family
Much of Vancouver's neon signs have been banned over the years, but you'll find them here, lit up in all their glory. Dedicated to all things Vancouver, this local museum has a permanent collection with plenty of bizarre odds and ends to discover, including historic clothing, trinkets and even food menus from decades past. It's easy to get lost in this dimly lit, labyrinthine space, but the museum staff can help you get back on track. Be sure to check for visiting exhibitions to see what’s on.

Holiday gift ideas for art and culture lovers in Vancouver
Local history buffs can’t get enough of the Museum of Vancouver, which happens to be the largest civic museum in the country. Cultural artifacts and ethnographic objects are displayed throughout the space in storytelling vignettes that guide visitors through Vancouver’s historic growth from the early 1900s to the late 1970s. In addition to the permanent collection, rotating exhibitions showcase contemporary local artists and thought-provoking cultural works. MOV members receive unlimited yearly visits, free admission to curator talks, and discounts on exclusive programming and special events. Prices range from $42 for an individual membership to $80 for a family of five.

Go play inside: Kids' activities for rainy Vancouver days
The newly revamped Museum of Vancouver in Vanier Park is the perfect cultural experience for those with shorter attention spans. The small galleries are totally digestible in an hour or two and the permanent exhibits — Neon Vancouver and Vancouver through the decades — are visually stimulating and offer a rare glimpse into the history of our city. Make your day a double-whammy by buying tickets to both the MOV and the Planetarium next door for a reduced price.
