Also seeing safari parks, water parks, and other amusement parks for Palm Springs and area. Even so I have never thought of Palm Springs as an “exciting” place to visit. More of a travel destination for the nearly dead.
Then you obviously haven’t been to Palm Springs.

Vancouver’s tourist season is the summer. People come for the scenery and the outdoor activities, which is similar to a sun destination. The winter market is skiiing, which BTW is something most other major cities don’t have.

Can you imagine how dead an amusement park would be in our rainy winter? Pattison should be thankful circumstances saved him from that mistake. As Isaidso pointed out the greatest lack is probably more cultural stuff to offer as an indoor option on rainy days. But Vancouver has never been a big city for culture and truth be told Canada is probably the least cultural of the western countries.
