Things to do in Vancouver with a baby
303 dated listings for babies in Vancouver in the next 60 days — babytime, rhyme time and new-parent programs, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.
Baby life in Vancouver — the short version
If you're raising a baby in Vancouver, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Dec 4, Vancouver's feed lists 303 dated listings for this age — 6 different programs, covering babytime, rhyme time and new-parent programs. Most of it runs at Central Library (48) and Firehall Branch (34).
Everything here is a real listing from Vancouver's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 0–1 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door. The library branches showing up for this age are Central Library.

Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Vancouver: 303 dated listings in the next 60 days; 267 of the 303 listings with a start time begin before noon — this age runs on mornings; the busiest single venue is Central Library with 48 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Vancouver's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.
Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in Vancouver run indoors at Central Library — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.

Common questions
What's on in Vancouver for babies right now?
The feed lists 303 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Dec 4 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for babies in Vancouver?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
