2. Take a Ride on the False Creek Ferries<\/p>\n
False Creek Ferries are small boats that travel up and down the inlet between Olympic Village, Yaletown, Granville Island, Downtown, Kitsilano and is a great way to take in the views of the city.

5. Explore Hinge Park<\/p>\n
Attention dog lovers!! Hinge Park is a naturalized wetland park that covers 2.3 acres and is a popular place for dog walkers. Themed around the concept of the industrial effect of infrastructure on the natural environment, the park includes some quirky features such as a bridge made from an old sewer pipe. Explore the shoreline and look out for starfish, crabs, fish, shellfish, and other sea creatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
