Top 10 Pin Trading Locations

Number 4 - The Richmond OZone, Richmond

Overview:

Exciting, spectacular, free, accessible family fun ... bigger than 66 football fields ... and a fantastic pin trading location too. That's our take on the Richmond OZone.

The OZone will be the biggest celebration location of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, covering over 60 acres in the heart of Richmond City Centre from Richmond City Hall into Minoru Park ... and just minutes from the new Canada Line.

From ice art, high-definition screens and outdoor skating on real ice to entertainment from around the region and around the world. From art, athletes, exhibits, virtual reality, food and nightly fireworks to Holland Heineken House and the BCLC Ice Dome. From headline bands like Our Lady Peace to theme nights saluting Canada’s diverse cultures and regions. From World Beat rhythms and South Asian dance and music to Pan Northern sounds from above the Arctic Circle. And it's all free.

Friday, February 12 through Sunday, February 28, 2010
Monday through Friday: 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM
