Things to do in Vancouver.

With the kids off school and the summer sun finally beating down, it’d be a waste not to get out and be active. Aside from the typical bike ride along the Stanley Park seawall and trip to La Casa Gelato, what else is there to do in Vancouver? We’re glad you asked! This summer the PNE is brimming with things to do. From new attractions to shows and events, you’ll be back for something new everyday of the week!

1. UNCONTAINED

The smell of cotton candy and sound of bells ringing followed by screams of riders is a staple of the PNE. With all the hype and excitement surrounding the new rides and attractions it can be easy to accidentally miss a ride or two. Though you may skip over Merry-Go-Round’s and Teacups, a ride that will surely steal your attention is XRI’s UNCONTAINED experience. Unlike anything you’ve seen before, “UNCONTAINED” is a Hyper-Immersive VR experience that casts players into an intergalactic space war. At this attraction, players will enter a temperature controlled container filled to the brim with state of the art immersion technology. From rumbling floors to full 1:1 controllerless body tracking and pneumatic gusts of wind, players will experience a revolutionary sense of immersion. Within the experience, you and your two best co-pilots will return blaster fire at the turret station while fending off waves of alien foes. In addition to navigating your way through armadas of enemy space patrols, players will need to simultaneously perform a series of aerial maneuvers and ship maintenance protocols. This completely controllerless full body game will alter your perception on Hyper-Immersive VR play forever. Make sure to purchase tickets ahead of time and line up early before the line wraps around the park!

2. Other

Along with the addition of UNCONTAINED, the PNE has scheduled a roster of shows and events each week. From roller skating Saturday nights at the “Rolla Skate Club” to listening to LANY and Nelly there is no shortage of things to do this summer!
