Are things like museums and restaurants open on Easter Sunday & Monday in Vancouver BC?

I’m not sure how much Canada is like some other non-US countries in this regard with stuff being closed, especially on the Monday.

Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are not stat holidays in BC. Good Friday is a stat holiday.

Most restaurants and museums will be open if they are regularly open on those days (though the hours may be modified). If there is specific one that you are interested in visiting, you should visit their website/call them to confirm.

I recommend visiting ([Stanley Park](http://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/stanley-park.aspx))(free) or the [Vancouver Aquarium](http://www.vanaqua.org/) at Stanley Park (not free, but well worth it).

[Science World](https://www.scienceworld.ca/) is pretty interesting as well.

Vancouver is a great city and when the weather is nice you can’t really beat it. Be prepared to buy a couple of cheap umbrella’s if it’s raining, but hopefully you won’t need them.

Enjoy
