Got an itch to pet goats?  How about pigs, horses, donkeys, sheep or llama?

Satisfy your itch - or the itch of your favorite farmyard friend - by visiting the Stanley Park Children's Farmyard, a petting zoo in Stanley Park.

And you don't have to be a child to enjoy this place.  If you find goats, donkeys and pigs entertaining, this is a fun stop for adults and even makes a good activity for couples. It is certainly a unique experience.

Where else can you pet a potbellied pig for fun?

Looking for a fun winter activity in Vancouver?  Think indoor ice skating.

Richmond Olympic Oval is the place to do it. The Richmond Olympic Oval will be one of the venues for the 2010 winter Olympics. But the public can experience the ice now, making a visit a treat.

The Richmond Olympic Oval is brand new. The grand opening was December 12, 2008.

Visit the Richmond Olympic Oval to skate on the ice during public skating hours and experience the spectacular facility before the rest of the world.  It is a great way to get some exercise without having to brave the cold outdoors.
