When the summer solstice goes, autumn sets in. Summer may be gone, but the good news is that we are moving forward. After all, Vancouver has enough all activities you will love to enjoy during your fall, many things will be enjoyed both action made events, apple cider; Halloween frights even festival of chocolates. Take a look at these exciting things about the start of fall.
1. Take a stroll
When the fall begings and different colors emerge, what do you have to do? Go out, feel the good tidings of the fall, enjoy yourself, move in group, gist around. Whether you're huffing and puffing up the Grouse Grind or leisurely strolling through Stanley Park, the crisp air and sweeping views will keep your body active and provide only-in-autumn photo ops.
2. Soak up colour at VanDusen Botanical Garden
Heathers, autumn crocus, hydrangeas and more bloom during the fall at VanDusen, Botanical Garden, giving visitors the simple pleasure of soaking up picture-perfect fall landscapes. Make sure to visit the Alma VanDusen Meadow Garden and stand before the fiery red Japanese maples.
3. Get cultured at the Vancouver Art Gallery
It will get colder in the fall, but that's exactly what art museums are made for. Vancouver Art Gallery's 10,000-piece permanent holdings include works from historical and contemporary Vancouver artists and other contemporary art leaders, making a trip here a welcome cultural change from sunbathing at Kits Beach. Plus, the museum boasts one of the city's top cafés, and chatting with friends over coffee is one fall activity you just have to partake in.
4. Visit your favourite animals
If we had to choose one time of the year to visit Maplewood Farm, we'd choose the fall. The leaves are turning, the cider is hot and pumpkins are plentiful. It's the perfect season to visit Rosie, the farm's Sicilian miniature donkey, and Fluffy, one of the farm's giant New Zealand white rabbits.
5. Fright Nights at the Pacific National Exhibition
What's fall without Halloween, and what's Halloween without a scream or two? Vancouver's annual Fright Nights event takes over the entire amusement park with bone-chilling exhibits and live shows like the Monsters of Schlock and fire performances. Of course, your favourite rides are still running, and if those aren’t hair-raising enough, opt for any of the seven haunted mansions, created specifically to scare the wits out of you.
6. Ride the ghost train
This one is for the kids because of its low spook factor and large doses of fun. The Stanley Park Ghost Train rattles through our favourite park bedecked with a new Halloween theme each year.
7. Hit the screen
Travel to more than 80 countries via the silver screen at the Vancouver International Film Festival, critically acclaimed as "an unspoiled celebration of world cinema." The festival usually starts during the last week of September and into early October. It's one of the biggest film festivals in North America and one you don't want to miss.
8. Discover the city's fringe benefits
Fall is the time of year when alternative theatre takes over the city. The Vancouver Fringe Festival, which first debuted in 1985, features more than 700 performances in 11 days. The event is all about breaking down barriers, which is why its "Bring Your Own Venue" principle has become so popular. After all, how often can you see theatre in a car, a boat or even a tree!
