For a great mix of Canada’s city life and wilderness, head to British Columbia. Vancouver and Whistler are the big draws in this western province, but there are kid-friendly gems to be found throughout the area. One day you can be swishing down the slopes; the next, exploring an urban art museum, giving a nice balance to a trip. Accommodations come in all forms: a skyscraper-style hotel; a rustic dude ranch; a luxury ski lodge; and everything in between. Given British Columbia’s popularity as a kid-friendly vacation destination, be assured that most properties welcome children in meaningful ways.
