2    VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Looking for something to do this weekend?  Here are some ideas for the whole family.

At the Vancouver Aquarium, the Amazon Gallery has had a full makeover, filled with Goeldi’s monkeys, a life-sized buttress root crawling with insects, and a tropical rainstorm complete with thunder and lightning cracks.

Take the kids to an Easter Bunny Breakfast at the North Shore Neighbourhood House in North Vancouver Saturday morning.  There will be breakfast, crafts, entertainment and a visit from a special guest.
