Surrey

Surrey is currently the second largest city in BC and one of the fastest growing in all of Canada. Within the next decade, Surrey is expected to take Vancouver's place as the largest city in the province. It's no surprise then, that with Surrey's diverse array of cultures, our city has a truly international flavour. Surrey is known as the City of Parks, with over 6,000 acres of parks and green spaces beautifully sprinkled throughout a growing metropolis. The natural beauty of Surrey and the cultural opportunities lend themselves to many tourism and entertainment opportunities throughout the year. We welcome you to join us in celebrating all that Surrey has to offer!

Activities:
Although quite large there is a limited number of big activities to do here other than golf. There is plenty of small sites and activities like Wild Play Elements Park.
1.5/5

Events:
Other than the regular holiday events there is nothing that stands out as a must see event during the year. though limited in the number of events when there is one it is definately worth checking out.
1.5/5

View:
The layout of the land makes it hard to see the mountains and ocean from most of the city, there are plenty of parks and gardens though to walk around and enjoy.
0.5/5

Accommodations:
Being further away from the larger city centre give Surrey the opportunity to have a larger selection of accommodations, especially in the camping area.
4.0/5

Dinning & Shopping:
Plenty of options for dining here, it is just a matter of getting one near you because of the size of the city.
4.0/5

Visit-ability:
Overall Surrey does not have much to offer considering the surrounding area and other cities in the Lower Mainland. It is central and affordable so it could serve as a good "Home Base" as you visit the other things to see.
2.5/5

Total Rating: 14/30

Thoughts:
Although it has some nice areas, this is not a great place to visit. It is very large and not a big variety of things to do.
