The young and the young at heart can have a lot of fun time visiting British Columbia. For one, families of different sizes and ages can enjoy the province’s amusement parks built for their enjoyment. First stop, Cyber City.
Cyber City has something for everyone from toddlers to great grandparents. This amusement center located in Nanaimo has a mini-golf course, go-kart tracks, laser tags, giant arcade, and a huge inflatable playground. It is open almost all year round and accept party packages, so your child may want to have a grandest of a birthday celebration. To get there, take Highway 19 North, then exiting at #21 onto Northfield. After which, turn right at Bowen Road.
Next is the capital Victoria’s scariest attraction Nightmares, which is located deep with Trounce Alley along Government Street. It has three main attractions, namely Hot Seat, The Unknown, and Madam Isabella, all are known to bring out your scares. It is also a source of scary costumes, masks, make-up accessories, props, novelties, and souvenirs. You may not want to bring in little children if you are afraid of having them “traumatized.”Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition is the home of Playland Amusement Park, with over 35 exhilarating rides, one-of-a-kind attractions, and fun games in between. Among its attractions include a 90-foot Westcoast Wheel, a basketball court where you can play 3 on 3, a haunted house, and KC’s Raceway that is a favorite among kids. It is also home to Kids Playce, a special zone filled with soft-play areas (inflatable playgrounds) and rides for children from ages 2 to 8. Playland is located on East Hastings Street, just off Highway 1 Westbound, then exiting at #26.
Another Nanaimo attraction is WildPlay Elements Park, where you get to experience fun and adventure in a 17-acre park set in a beautiful Douglas Fir forest. The park has three main attractions: Bungy Jumping, where you get to jump off a 150-foot bridge head first with a big elastic band around the ankles; King Swing, where you are strapped into a harness and then launched off the bridge at up to 140 kph as you swing over the river canyon; and TreeGO, where you move through a series of challenging elements from treetop to treetop including zip lines, suspended bridges, and swinging logs. To get there, take the Nanaimo Lakes exit off Highway 1.
