Chicky Play Museum

If you’ve got kids under 7 and need somewhere to burn off energy on a rainy Vancouver day, this is the spot locals keep coming back to. The themed play areas are genuinely well thought out for little ones, and the place stays clean — like, actually clean, not just “we mopped this morning” clean. Staff here are the kind of people who seem like they actually want to be there, which makes a difference when you’re wrangling a toddler birthday party. Parents can keep eyes on the kids without constantly chasing them around, and there’s a café on-site so you’re not running on empty either. Restrooms and a changing station mean you’re not caught off guard with an infant in tow.
