FAMILY ATTRACTIONS

Say cheese! If you’re going to meet your family's faves at the show, you’ll want to capture the moment with a photo op. Dress up, strike a pose, and clear up some space on your wall at home for a new core memory.

Have a special figure, poster, or keepsake you want signed? The family's favourite stars and creators will be at the show all weekend signing autographs, so you can have a keepsake that will last a lifetime.

Burp your baby Grogus and bring them to our Kids' Zone where you can experience activities the whole family can enjoy including crafts, panels, and programming just for kids (and kids at heart).

It's FAN EXPO Vancouver's cutest event. Come cheer on the cosplay stars of tomorrow at the Kids' Cosplay Showcase. Lineups will start 15 minutes before the event. Get ready to shine, little ones.

From Alderaan to Mandalore, there are many tales of the Jedi to share. Join the 501st in the Kids’ Zone for Star Wars story time. Check the schedule closer to the show for specific dates and times.

Bring your cards, your phone, your Switch, or whatever you use to play to the show to trade with fellow trainers. We'll be hosting a meetup for cards and another one for games. Check the schedule closer to the show for details.

Join comic creators for interactive draw-along sessions in the Kids' Zone. A weekend of creativity awaits as young fans learn to sketch and explore their artistic side alongside seasoned pros.

The world of Castles and Dragons has transformed into Fantasy Village, bringing you everything you love—plus more. Explore castles, encounter dragons, brew magical concoctions at the potions shop, and get hands-on with new activities in the crafting area.

No need to hop on a bus, the field trip is coming to you. Stop by the Vancouver Science World booth in the Community Zone for fun, science themed activities all weekend long.

Head back to the Medieval Times and watch some real knights in action at our combat demos.

Brought to you by our friends from the Barony of Lion's Gate.

Is the Force strong with you? Calling all Padawans and younglings (ages 6-15) for an interactive lightsaber training experience as we continue our quest to find the Chosen One.

Before you head out into the tall grass, visit Trainer Town to prep for your Pokémon journey. You can explore houses, get hands-on with Pokémon themed activities, and choose your starter.

Create some nerdy souvenirs to take home at our craft area or at one of our many craft workshops.

Fandom has something for everyone, and that includes fandom shopping. Come check out all the amazing toys, collectibles, and games we have for little ones working on their collections.

Introduce the fam to fandom with the help of your community. You can learn to wield a sword at Knight Fights, train in the ways of the Force at Padawan Training, and catch the younglings up on intergalactic lore at our Star Wars Story Time.
