Event Dates: September 27 and 28, 2025
Event Hours: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. local time

Pokémon GO City Safari turns the city into a living playground where Trainers can explore landmarks, create lasting memories with their community, meet fellow Trainers, participate in giveaways, and collect Pokémon!

Trainers can begin their adventure anywhere in Vancouver. There are five zones throughout the city with City Safari–themed PokéStops and Gyms. Check out these spots to collect stamps for the in-game stamp rally!

• Eevee Explorers: Gastown
• Eevee Explorers: Downtown Vancouver
• Eevee Explorers: Granville Island
• Eevee Explorers: Stanley Park and West End
• Eevee Explorers: Coal Harbour

On both event days, a limited-time Trainer lounge will be available at the iconic Jack Poole Plaza (1055 Canada Pl, Vancouver, BC V6C 3L5). Trainers can relax, add friends, trade, battle, and more!*

GO Stamp Rally is coming to City Safari! The in-game stamp rally replaces previous City Safaris’ Timed Research, but the rewards are the same.
Collect up to eight stamps as part of this stamp rally and earn an encounter with Eevee wearing an explorer hat for each stamp!*

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
