Our Impact
Rave Reviews
Faces were painted, games were played, origami was folded and great food was enjoyed. Thank you for giving us such as fun filled, memory making day! We are already excited about next year!
You may know the Vancouver International Children’s Festival for its face-painting, and activity centres. But what really make it worth checking out are the innovative, wildly imaginative shows that come to it from around the world.
We had a fantastic time here. Saw Cirque Zuma Zuma with my 3 year old daughter — she was engaged for the entire hour of the performance! Lots of great activities, which are included in the price when you buy a show ticket.
