Vancouver Sports
Whether you prefer watching sports or playing them yourself, Vancouver has sports adventures for every age. So hop in an Avis rental car and take advantage of these activities during your trip here.
Vancouver Teams
A visit to Canada wouldn’t be complete without catching a hockey game. Visit Rogers Arena to catch some of the most exciting hockey games for the Vancouver Canucks. If you like football, the BC Lions play at the BC Place stadium, which is only a 15-minute drive from the the car rental lot at Vancouver Airport.
Skiing
Vancouver is one of the warmer cities in Canada, but the nearby mountains host some of the most gorgeous ski slopes in the country. If you’re visiting during the wintertime, head to Whistler or Blackcomb, both internationally ranked ski peaks. If you’re visiting during the summer, the ski resorts are great places for hiking, biking, and stargazing.

Burrard Inlet
The shallow fjord that forms Vancouver Harbor is known as Burrard Inlet. This is a great place for fishing, kayaking, and touring historic buildings. It’s also popular with orca pods, so it’s ideal for whale watching.
Museum of Anthropology at UBC
The museum at the University of British Columbia offers amazing exhibits from all over the world. However, this museum has an emphasis on First Nation peoples and the history of the Vancouver area. Learn about artifacts and language labs from the Musqueam, U’mista, and other indigenous peoples.
Stanley Park
Stanley Park is an urban park that offers all of British Columbia’s best experiences in one place. Ride a historic train along the original transcontinental railroad, see beluga whales at the Vancouver Aquarium, or take a horse-drawn carriage through the recreated historic town. There’s also fine dining, botanical gardens, and the park’s famous seawall to explore.
