"Accessibility: Reserve a main-floor table and confirm the nearest accessible washroom when booking.Seating tip: Request a table near the entrance to minimize walking from the drop-off point.Local tip: Try local seafood or seasonal dishes; staff can recommend lighter options if preferred."

"Child-friendly picks: choose simple pasta, sandwiches or fish & chips — ask for smaller portions or a shared plate for your 7-year-old.Seating & accessibility: many cafes in Snug Cove have ground-floor seating and accessible bathrooms — request a table near the door for stroller access.Local treats: pick up a small bakery treat for the ferry ride home — good calming sugar boost if the child is tired."

"Accessibility: Elevator ride to the top is step-free; look for benches on the observation level to sit and enjoy the view.Pacing: Plan 45–60 minutes to take photos, enjoy the view and return at a comfortable pace.Local tip: Ask staff for a quieter window/viewing area, and avoid peak late-afternoon times if you prefer less crowding."

"Request assistance with luggage or a porter if you have bags—hotel staff can help at drop-off.Use this time to change into comfortable evening clothes and to rest feet — schedule allows a 90-minute quiet break.Confirm tomorrow's plans with the concierge and ask about accessible taxi services for the following day."

"Ask for a patio table if you want fresh-air group seating; they can usually accommodate 4–6 with a reservation.Order a mix of mains and shareable sides to sample more without breaking the bank.Easy exit: grab a group photo on the patio steps for a timeless Stanley Park memory."

"Ask for a large table or two pushed together — the Sandbar is used to groups and the host will accommodate when you mention 'group of 4–6'.Order a couple of shareable starters (calamari, oysters, seafood chowder) to keep costs manageable.If the patio is full, ask to sit in the window area for similar views and acoustic live-music vibes on weekends."

"Arrive 20–30 minutes before sunset to claim a quiet stretch of sand and settle in.Pack a small bottle of chilled sparkling wine and two glasses — dusk is magical here.Bring a light sweater; coastal breezes cool quickly after the sun dips."

"The conservatory is fully step-free and climate controlled—great for avoiding sun and heat while still enjoying plants and birds.There are benches throughout and a short, paved loop of the Quarry Garden for a gentle outdoors rest if preferred.Visit mid-afternoon when light is soft and crowds are lighter; accessible washrooms are available near the conservatory."

"Accessibility: Main market aisles are wide and mostly step-free; accessible washrooms are located within or nearby the public market buildings.Pacing: Focus on a few stalls (baked goods, local produce, and artisans) to avoid standing for long periods; sit at the public seating areas to sample foods.Local tip: Arrive just after opening to avoid crowds and secure a seat at the market benches and sheltered eating areas."
