Vacation to BC

[Snufflupagus]

Hey all,

Heading to BC next week for a little get away. I'm thinking about checking out some of the LFS while out there, does anyone have any suggestions on places to stop? I don't know much about BC so I thought I'd ask for some advise. I'll mainly be in the Van-city area.

Thanks.

Take a hunt through the supporting vendors list, and see which ones are close to the area you will be visiting. Pretty much all the supporting vendors are worth checking out. It also depends what you are interested in seeing...corals, fish, impressive floor space, etc.

And if you want to venture out into the surrounding areas I would add Oceanic Corals in Aldergrove and Ocean Aquatics in Delta. Adresses etc. are on their websites.

King Eds pets in New West/Burnaby
Rogers Pets in Surrey
Island Pets in Burnaby or Richmond


These are the best as far as selection and being worth taking the time on a trip to go see, IMO, in that order.
there are a few other lfs but they are more boutique and not as exciting, if that's the word...

Thanks for the replies all. I'm sure to make a visit to a few of these places on my trip, maybe even bring a little something new home. Thanks again.

I'm in BC now vacationing. I've been here for almost a week already, but looking on the maps everything seems so "far" away from all the spots that we are going with the family. We did check out blue world aquariums in Victoria cause it was down the road from our hotel. We're in the Van City area these few days and I doubt I'll check any stores out - don't want to bore my family and we have everything we need in Edmonton. It's always nice to visit new stores though....hope that you find time to do that.
