This vast collection from different cultures is kept in drawers, which kids will love opening to see what's inside. A 40-minute ride aboard a B.C. Ferry will take you from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale on the Sunshine Coast. About half an hour away, Pender Harbour features fishing and hiking. The highlight here is the St. Roch. Built in 1928 for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the ship was used as a patrol and supply ship in the western Arctic for more than 20 years.
Visitors are welcome to go aboard and explore the ship.
When those little legs get tired, hop aboard the miniature train ride that takes visitors from one end of the park to the other. Pack a lunch and make a day of it. It costs nothing to enjoy this living forest. There's even a 10-km paved road for rollerblading, riding your bike or walking. Fishing is available at Rice Lake.
