Not sure when you are going, so the weather may have an affect on where you should go. Here are a few things i'd suggest:
Talk a walk (or roller blade) around Stanley Park and the harbour
Chill out with a coffee and watch the cruise liners on Canada Place
Take in the atmosphere on Granville, Robson and Davie St. and in Gastown
If you are there when the sky is clear, go up Grouse Mountain - you can see for miles
The Capilano Suspension Bridge is reasonably fun, if very touristy.
The market at Granville Island has some great cakes!
Depending on your finances, you could fly to Victoria, Vancouver Island on the sea plane
Take in the city from The Harbour Centre and have a great slice of pizza at the bottom for only 50p.
Don't miss the short ferry ride to Victoria, check here:

Don't miss Gastown, check here:
Cross the Suspension Bridge (not the Capilano Suspension Bridge) Lynn Canyon Park
Don't miss Robson Street (Robsonstrasse)

And... don't miss the Aquarium Marine Science Center
My list duplicates some of challam's; you'll have plenty to do...Enjoy!
