Things to do in Nanaimo
Nanaimo Museum gives a downtown visit a local-history focus through exhibitions and community stories. Recreation then takes you to larger neighbourhood facilities, with Beban Park and Oliver Woods offering different sports and program settings.
Decide whether the day is centred downtown or includes a separate recreation stop. Check museum opening hours and your chosen pool or gym session, and leave time to travel between the venues.
