VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 4, 2026 - Wild Kratts Live 2.0 takes the Emmy-nominated PBS Kids series off the screen and onto the stage, with brothers Chris and Martin Kratt leading audiences through a new adventure built around animal facts and "creature power" suits. It is a show made for young children who already know every episode, and for parents who are happy to see a kids' show that teaches something.
Vancouver families looking for a live outing this winter have a large, colourful option on the edge of False Creek.
Luzia raises the big top at Concord Pacific Place
Cirque du Soleil's touring show Luzia has set up its tent Under the Big Top at Concord Pacific Place, the waterfront lot near Science World where Cirque traditionally plays when it visits the city. The show opened November 4, 2026, and the current calendar carries 50 performances into January 2027.
Luzia is billed as a "waking dream of Mexico." It mixes acrobatics with striking visuals, including rain falling inside the tent during some acts. Vancouver Is Awesome went behind the scenes before opening, and Daily Hive published a guide covering show times and what to expect.
Why it works for younger audiences
Like Wild Kratts Live, Luzia relies on movement and spectacle more than dialogue, which helps children follow along. Performances run about two hours with an intermission, and the tent's seating keeps the stage close from most rows.
Main Street-Science World SkyTrain station is a short walk from the site. Weekend matinees are the easiest choice for families with younger children.
