4 One Under
Summer in Vancouver means lots of days of disappointing rain or smoke, so if you get one of those, the virtual golf experience at One Under will make being indoors a good thing (and everything is better with booze). T up and practice your swing at some of the best golf courses around the world via One Under Urban Golf’s cool simulators!

3 Big Splash Water Park
With the largest tube slide in Western Canada by the makers of the Atlantis The Palm in Dubai and Wet n’ Wild in Las Vegas, milkshakes and burgers, and now – summer cocktails like piña coladas and daiquiris to keep the big hydrated. They’ve also added cabanas and table rentals for a Vegas-esque VIP experience!

2 Boating
The best reason to live in Vancouver… boating season. It’s one we hate to see end and a Vancouver rite of passage. Having a friend with a boat is definitely common and a hot commodity but if you’re not as lucky, you can always rent one at convenient locations like Granville Island. Debbie Downer part: Canada loves rules and operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs will get you fined, so get yourself a DD.

1 Grouse Grind
Mother Nature’s stairmaster, the Grouse Grind is a serious workout. Complete your climb (all 2,830 steps) and be rewarded with a cocktail, a glass of vino, or cold beer while overlooking the Lower Mainland at Altitude’s Bistro atop Grouse Mountain. #GuiltFree
