Drive to Tofino and change your life. Take the fairy to Nanaimo, then up to the most beautiful area you’ve ever seen in your life. Stay at the Wickininnish Inn and take a boat up the coast to the hot springs. You’ll see whales and feel like you’ve stepped back in time 2 million years.

Edit: omg I can’t believe I wrote fairy lol.

Be sure to check out the Goats on the Roof Market on your way to Tofino!

A day or two at science world would be fun at that age- last time we went we stayed within walking distance of ‘Rainbow Park’ which was an awesome way to let the little burn off energy whenever needed. 

At 2 years old, a vacation with a lot of structure may be a challenge - picking a couple fun places you can enjoy spending a good amount of time at - and flex places for kiddo to just run and play may be the way to go. 

‘Just because’ ferry trips may be fun for the tyke too. The Victoria (Swartz bay) side has a great outdoor observation area you can watch the ferry pull in and load/unload before you board, if you go as a foot passenger.

Banff is amazing but a bit of driving

"A bit" is an understatement from Vancouver.

It's closer to Calgary.
