Vancouver’s schools get out for a two-week spring break starting Monday, March 21, 2011, which means many families will be wondering what to do with the time. Never fear, though—if you’re in Vancouver for spring break, there are lots of fun, cheap, and educational things to do for just the kids or for the whole family.

1. Learn about Stanley Park’s biodiversity at the free Stanley Park Nature House.
2. Take a Shakespeare 101 acting workshop at Vancouver’s Place des Arts (for kids grade 6 – 8).
3. Go CSI at the Forensics for Kids workshops at the Vancouver Police Museum.
