Activities:
There is something for everyone to do here. Golf courses, lakes and rivers, hiking trails, shopping and arts and heritage attractions. Although there is not big selection of adrenaline type of activities Burnaby's central location in the lower mainland makes it about a 30min drive to anywhere.

View:
You can take a stroll around Burnaby Lake and by the beaver dam or through one of the many wooded city parks to take your mind off the hustle and bustle of the city. Almost everywhere you get a great view of the North Shore Mountains or even Mount Baker in Washington. Burnaby Mountain gives you a great vantage point of the Indian Arm and world class architecture like Simon Fraser University.

Dinning & Shopping:
Plenty of restaurants with a selection of all international cuisine will keep you looking at where to eat next. Metrotown, the largest shopping mall in BC will keep you occupied for a couple of hours looking at the latest fashion and enjoying one of the many displays they generally have set up.

Visit-ability:
As a cheaper alternative to staying directly in Vancouver, Burnaby offers a few things to do but it will probably be the most memorable part of the trip and will probably get lumped into being a part of "Our Vancouver" trip.

Thoughts: One of the largest by land areas of the Lower Mainland, Burnaby offers a great deal of things to do. Although you wouldn't notice that you are in Burnaby or Vancouver, they get a lot of concerts and events that are not as far away as the down town core for people staying further out.
