Featuring Local Spots in Metro Vancouver
Looking for inspiration for your next family day out? Check out a few parent-friendly Gerber® TotSpot™ locations in your area:
Feast & Fallow: Great for morning coffee and a dedicated play corner. This cozy, plant-based neighbourhood cafe has a kiddie corner in the back to keep little ones busy, along with house-made sourdough and pastries, so parents can actually relax with a coffee while kids play nearby
Science World: Perfect for interactive play, stroller-friendly navigation, and keeping hungry kids fed. The KidSpark gallery is built for kids under 5, with wide, accessible pathways throughout, and when little tummies start rumbling, the onsite concession and Triple O's inside the building make it easy to grab something kid-friendly without ever leaving.
Museum of Surrey: Perfect for interactive play and accessible changing facilities. The TD Explore Zone gives kids a hands-on play area with a slide, tree fort, and sensory activities, plus the museum offers child change tables, noise-cancelling headphones and sensory kits at reception, wheelchair-accessible paths throughout, and it's free to visit.
Chorus & Cloud: A cozy studio built for toys, games, and hands-on play. Run by an early childhood educator and musician, this music and art space is designed specifically for infants and toddlers, with sensory-friendly activities that keep little ones engaged while moms connect with each other nearby.
