Three Vancouver attractions teaming up to offer discount admission days
Those looking to save some dough while still having fun in Vancouver this year will want to make plans to visit Vanier Park’s three museums.
H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, Vancouver Maritime Museum, and the Museum of Vancouver announced today that they will be partnering up for Pay-What-You-Can Sundays.
On the first Sunday of every month, guests of all ages are invited to visit the three Kitsilano waterfront attractions and explore the exhibits without financial barriers.

“We believe curiosity should never be limited by cost,” said Michael Unger, director of programming for H.R.MacMillan Space Centre, in a release.
“Pay-What-You-Can Day reflects our mission of learning without frontiers, welcoming everyone to explore the universe in a way that feels accessible and inclusive, no matter their background or budget.”
Starting on Sunday, Feb. 1 and every month after that, guests can discover maritime history, learn about local heritage, and explore science and space.
The three Vancouver attractions are within walking distance of each other in Vanier Park.
