1. Costco Wholesale
Vancouver, BC V6B 1V4
(604) 622-5050
Categories:
Eyewear & Opticians,
Drugstores,
Tires,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Costco is a great place to shop. Everything is cheap for what it is, although in many cases what it is is expensive brand-name stuff. For the basics, it is great - huge packs of ground beef or pork for burgers, meatballs and bulk ragu sessions, 10kg…More »
2. IKEA
Richmond, BC V6V 2A5
(604) 233-8491
Categories:
Home Decor,
Furniture Stores,
Kitchen & Bath
The bottom has dropped out of my world. On our last trip to Ikea I discovered not only that our eldest children are now too big to go in the kids' club, but they have stopped serving steamed potatoes with the meatballs. Mash just makes it all seem…More »

3. Go Bananas
Richmond, BC V6W 1K4
(604) 204-0576
I have a love-hate relationship with this place.
Imagine a two-storey high warehouse space filled with brightly coloured climbing frames, netting, slides, ladders and crash mats. Now imagine that same space full of under-9s full of birthday cake. Now,…More »
4. Second Beach Pool
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 257-8371
Category:
Swimming Pools
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
This is a fantastic pool in a stunning location. It's a great place to take the family - the entire pool is no more than about 4 feet deep and it has 3 water slides of varying degrees of difficulty.
While the pool itself and the view is idyllic, its…More »
5. Tung Hing Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5V 3C8
(604) 875-3394
Categories:
Bakeries,
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The best quick lunch I've discovered so far in Vancouver. Heavenly baguettes with scrumptious fillings and only $2.75, and there's Glen Park nearby to sit and eat them while the kids blow off steam. I wish I could get there in my lunch break every…More »
6. Red Robin
A very good friend of mine said to me last week "The best thing about expecting to be disappointed is that you can't lose. Either it meets your expectations, or it's great." He could have been talking about Red Robin. As long as you don't expect too…More »
7. Red Robin Burgers - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6H 4B1
(604) 733-6494
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
This is a great place to go when the kids are hungry because I've always found the service to be quick and efficient. There's nothing worse than having to sit for half an hour with two starving boys acting up.
The burgers are great and the thick-cut…More »
8. Red Robin Restaurants of Canada Ltd
Coquitlam, BC V3B 1C5
(604) 941-8650
If you're looking for a Red Robin in Coquitlam, then this place is perfect. It's everything you expect from Red Robin, in Coquitlam.
I was in Port Coquitlam last weekend for a hike with the family. Having finished our hike, we thought 'how about going…More »

Rich B's guide to practical parenting (9)At an aspirational level, parenting is about creating a loving, nurturing environment in which your child can thrive, learn and realise their full potential in order to become a successful and respected member of their society.At a realistic everyday level, parenting is about coming up with ways to wear them out every day so you can get them to bed at a reasonable hour in order that you can preserve your sanity until they become wealthy enough to support you. This list is about ways to achieve the second while giving the appearance of being mainly interested in the first. |
Downtown lunches (5)Tasty, inexpensive lunchtime treats |
Cafes (2)Good places for coffee |
