Entertainment

Welcome to Richmond, BC! Nestled where the Pacific Ocean and the mighty Fraser River meet is Richmond, BC, a thriving multicultural destination city offering a growing range of cultural, heritage, culinary and leisure experiences. Upon arrival in Richmond, check into one of our 26 brand-name hotels, located a 10-minute drive or less from Vancouver International Airport (YVR). From four-star luxury to affordable family lodgings, you’ll find what you need in Richmond with some 4,600 guest rooms available.

Grab a bite to eat at one of Richmond’s 375-plus Asian restaurants – many clustered in the Golden Village off No. 3 Road. Or sample the fresh-caught seafood in oceanside Steveston. If you want some family fun with dinner, head over to Riverport in eastern Richmond. You’ll find a multiplex movie theatre, waterslides, bowling, and other entertainment options there, along with pasta at The Old Spaghetti Factory and great appetizers at the Big River Brewpub.

Ready for some go-karting excitement? Head to TBC Indoor Racing and go head-to-head in full racing gear. Or between March and October, zoom around the Richmond Go-Kart Track. The half-mile track is loaded with straightaways, S-bends, and hairpin curves. Two great options to quench your need for speed!

Enjoy authentic dim sum or fuel up quickly at the sprawling food courts in the Golden Village’s big Asian-themed malls. Then head a few blocks west to the Richmond Olympic Oval, the home of 2010 Olympic long-track speed-skating. Tour the huge building with its spectacular “wood wave” roof by the Fraser River. Or try out the state-of-the-art fitness facilities, from skating and ping-pong to indoor soccer and volleyball.

To wrap up your afternoon, check out our online schedule for festivals and events and attend one that’s right for you. It could be the Steveston Farmers’ and Artisans Market on a summer Sunday, or a Haunted Halloween Tour of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery NHS.

After another delicious dinner with local ingredients, head to the massive River Rock Casino which is conveniently located along the new Canada Line rapid transit system. Play poker, bet on horse races, or try your luck with 900 slot machines. Then catch a show at the River Rock Show Theatre, which features musicians like Peter Frampton and Smokey Robinson and comedians such as Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson.
 

Have a delicious breakfast and then check out of your Richmond hotel. We encourage you to explore more of Richmond, from our three new wineries to the 80 km (50 miles) of bike routes and dyke trails - the perfect balance to a fast paced trip! Or simply enjoy a safe trip to your final destination. This concludes your Richmond Entertainment Tour.
