1. Sea-to-Sky Highway Drive

There are few highways in the world with as much awe-inspiring scenery as the Sea-to-Sky Highway. Officially known as BC Highway 99, this legendary route from Vancouver to Whistler and beyond is a drive with incredible sights at just about every turn. It's also filled with fun stops, including outdoor destinations, cultural points of interest, and historic sites. 

2. Porteau Cove Provincial Park

Make your first scenic stop at Porteau Cove, a peaceful beachside park known for its calm waters and driftwood-covered shores. Kids can explore tidal pools, skip stones, or spot scuba divers offshore while parents take in panoramic ocean views.

A quick and refreshing nature break that feels miles from the city.

3. Britannia Mine Museum – A Hands-On Mining Adventure

Next, dive into history and science at the award-winning Britannia Mine Museum. This stop is a family favorite for good reason:

Underground mine train ride through a real tunnel

Live demos of mining equipment

The multisensory BOOM! Experience — a high-energy show inside the historic mill

Interactive exhibits, gold panning, and science activities for kids

It’s educational, exciting, and full of hands-on learning — all in a stunning mountain setting.

4. Squamish Town and Shannon Falls (Optional Stop)

After the mine, head into Squamish, a relaxed mountain town where you can explore a local park, grab a family-friendly lunch, or walk the Squamish Estuary trails.
Optionally, stop at Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in BC, for an easy forest walk and a look at the roaring 335-meter cascade.

Great for kids to get their wiggles out in nature.
