Vancouver, BC · Saturday, February 14, 2026

Market Strolls and Cozy Cabin Valentine's at Home

Morning:

Kick off your late morning at the bustling Granville Island, making a beeline for the Granville Island Public Market to gather artisanal ingredients and card-making supplies. Warm up with a rich, velvety Granville Island hot chocolate while the kids enjoy the whimsical displays at the nearby Kids Market.

Afternoon:

Board the SeaBus for a scenic crossing to North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay, where the family can enjoy a brisk stroll along the waterfront and admire the mountains from The Shipyards. Upon returning home, the kids can get creative at a craft station designing Valentine's cards while you work together on baking heart cookies to enjoy later in the evening.

Evening:

As the sun sets, enjoy a magical home candlelight dinner with the kids before retiring to a cozy indoor tent fort built in the living room for storytime. To cap off the night, work together to assemble a family time capsule, filling it with small mementos and drawings from the day to be opened on a future Valentine's celebration.
