    One of the most beautiful attractions in the Vancouver area and absolutely worth the trip to North Vancouver. Most people come for the famous suspension bridge, but the entire park is impressive. Walking high above the forest canopy on the Treetops Adventure gives you a unique perspective of the rainforest, and the Cliffwalk provides some incredible views for those comfortable with heights. The bridge itself is longer and higher than it looks in photos, with just enough sway to make things exciting without being scary. Everywhere you look there are towering trees, rushing water below, and stunning Pacific Northwest scenery. Yes, admission isn't cheap, but the park is well maintained, the staff are friendly, and there is much more to do than simply walk across the bridge. Plan to spend a few hours exploring everything. A must-visit attraction if you're in Vancouver and want to experience the natural beauty that makes British Columbia so special.

    Worth every penny, the park is beautiful, and extremely well maintained. The views were unbelievable, and the weather was great when we went.

    A super fun park to explore, especially when they have their light exhibits! Coming from a person who is terrified of heights and prefers to have stand on solid/still ground, the suspension bridge is a lot of fun. It is pretty terrifying the first time, but when you have to cross back over (and you've accepted the fact that there's no other way to get back) it's actually super fun. Also, if you get the chance to come here for the Valentine's lights it is stunning and you won't regret!

    One of the most visited attractions just outside of the city of Vancouver. I love this little adventure! The bridge itself stretches 450 ft over the river and stands 230 get above the river . So yeah pretty cool ! The park showcases the bridge well, you sway across gently with great views. Also there are a few other cool parts you must do. The cliff walk is neat. Attached to the granite cliff it's a narrow walk but not scary. Then the mini suspension bridges in the treetops was a fun part. High in the trees again with awesome views. You just kinda stand sometimes on the bridges and admire all that's around you. Also a few exhibits showcases the ecosystems. A great place 20 mins from the city for views. Nature and a little thrill seeking. Super safe and really nicely maintained. We went during fall and the had Halloween all around the park . Very extensive decor. Can't imagine it at Christmas! Highly recommended this place. Outside of city life but so worth it.

    I visited with a group of 11 from out of town, and while the prices are a bit high at $75 for adults, there's a nice perk for BC locals like me. Just show your ID and your ticket from that day, and you get a full year of free admission -- which is fantastic! I've been to Capilano many times and always enjoy it. The grounds are kept clean, and the washrooms are tidy, making the visit even more pleasant. I love the Tree Tops Adventures, Cliff Walk, and the bridge -- it feels like walking through pure nature. My family from out of town really had a wonderful experience, and I truly enjoyed sharing this beautiful place with them!

    Visiting Capilano Suspension Bridge Park was one of the highlights during our time in Vancouver. We caught the free shuttle from downtown, which was quick, easy to find, and surprisingly efficient. There were a few stops along the way, but overall the ride was smooth and fast--no stress, no hassle. We arrived around 2:30pm, which turned out to be the perfect "off time." Visiting during the holidays meant we were able to experience the park during their Canyon Lights event, and it was absolutely magical. I love Christmas and holiday lights, so being there early enough to explore in daylight to get great photos and stay through nightfall was the best of both worlds. The decorations transformed the entire park and really brought the holiday spirit to life. We spent a couple of hours wandering, soaking it all in. There were so many Instagram-worthy moments, interactive activities for kids, and fun decorations along the way. One unexpected highlight? Spotting a couple of bald eagles, which was incredibly exciting and made the experience feel even more special. My son and I watched in awe as the eagle sat perched high up in a tree. We also stopped to enjoy some poutine and live music on the gift shop patio, which was the perfect cozy break. After dark, the park did get extremely busy with many lines forming, but because we arrived earlier, we had no issues walking straight onto the bridge or other attractions without waiting in long lines. Timing really is everything, and 2:30pm was just right. Before leaving, I picked up a few gifts from the shop, which had a great mix of affordable souvenirs and higher-end items. While it's definitely on the pricier side, I truly felt it was worth it. The atmosphere, the lights, the nature, and the overall experience made it memorable and festive--and it completely got me into the holiday spirit. If you're visiting Vancouver, especially during the holidays, I highly recommend making a stop at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

    Late review but wanted to note that this cool place to visit. A bit crowded it organized. Worth a visit to cross the bridge and check out the site

    What a fun and fantastic experience. You just have to make sure you're not too afraid of heights. We came during the holidays (around Thanksgiving time) where the Bridge Park was lit up with holiday lights and the Christmas theme. We were told that there were some discounts such as getting a ticket online or getting a discount ticket form our hotel. This was easy to do and get to. The other lovely part is that there are shuttles that run throughout Vancouver in order to get to the Bridge Park. We stayed at the Fairmont Waterfront, so we were super fortunate that the shuttle was literally right next to the hotel. Super easy to get to with a timetable that was available at the hotel and online as well as at the site. When we went to the Bridge Park, it was raining on and off, so the park is definitely open rain or shine for the most part. Getting in was a breeze and wasn't overly busy. There was a live musician near the start of the journey who was great. The gift shop was expansive, and there were a few spots scattered throughout with hot chocolate and other treats. When you first get in, you see a map of the entire venues and 'attractions' - basically hiking trails in really fantastic ways. And there was a lot to do that took up at least 3 hours of our time which we rushed thru a bit as the park was about to close. My favorites included the bridge itself (longer than expected and pretty high up); the tree top trails that really seemed super long with wonderful little nuggets of information about the forest and area; and the cliffside walk which also included facts about the land while going across a gated area. Each area to me was really lovely to walk around and seemed crafted with a lot of care. Yes, it's a bit touristy and as one of my friends may border a little corny to some. But I think if you're a fan of nature walks; don't mind the heights (there sure are a lot of them); and especially go during special themed times, I think it's worth the time.

    Beautiful and Breathtaking views! A must visit when in Vancouver! Go in October to experience the Halloween decor. Free shuttle from the downtown area. Tickets are around $55 USD for adults.

    One of my favorite attractions in BC! We came at a time where the place is starting to show fall colors and getting decked for the holidays, and with the christmas lights, made this place even more magical. This is a place for both the young and young at heart. If you are afraid of heights, you can still enjoy walking around the grounds without crossing the bridge and watch guests crossing from a distance. Loved the Treetop adventure, Cliff walk, and crossing the bridge itself. Beautiful nature sceneries everywhere. Definitely a must if ever in BC, especially during the holidays!

    Definitely a must for anyone visiting Vancouver for their first time. The entrance fee is a little expensive but definitely worth all the crazy views. My wife and I took a free shuttle bus from the Grand Hyatt Vancouver hotel which only took about 20 mins. The bell hop at the hotel even gave me a $5 off entrance fee coupon when I asked him for directions to the shuttle. Gve yourself at least 3-4hrs to completely walk around and take in all the fantastic scenery Capilano has to offer. They have some snacks stations to get hot coffee and hot cocoa along with a full on restaurant to get a full meal. When you are done with sight seeing definitely drop by the gift shop and pick up some goodies to bring back home.

    There is paid parking near the business. The lot that we parked in was close to the entrance. We brought our tickets in advance to the park but you can also purchase them at the entrance. Inside we had to stand in multiple lines to access the bridge and other attractions but the lines were organized. We also got to see animals such as an owl and an eagle in the park. The employees provided informative information about the animals. There are also multiple souvenir shops in the park where you can buy gifts like shirts and food items such as ice cream and fudge. The fudge was very good.

    What a fun and uniquenplace to visit. We came on a rainy day and it was still enjoyable. It has mild ameluesment park vibes but is not gimmicky. They value nature and connecting with the land. The views are beautiful and attractions are fun. Would definitely recommend. Gave 4 stars only because I did think the price was a bit steep. However, would still recommend experiencing it atleast once.

    Mom, trying not to show her nervousness.

    Last year I discovered a hiking group that hikes in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR)…read moreevery Monday morning for a couple of hours. Due to my school, I was only able to go on one hike with them last year as I found the group just before the fall semester started, but this year I've gone on half a dozen hikes with them and look forward to many more. There are 65km of hiking trails in the LSCR, ranging from easy (such as the Rice Lake Loop) to challenging, for more experienced hikers. There are several intermediate trails, including a portion of the Baden Powell trail, and with all the different trails, it is a great area to explore and your hike can range from an easy one hour walk to a hike of several hours -- there's something for everyone. The LSCR is located between Lynn Headwaters Regional Park and Lynn Canyon Park, so you can combine a hike in the LSCR with a hike in Lynn Headwaters or Lynn Canyon for more variety. Another great thing about the LSCR is that it is transit accessible! You can take the #227 or #228 bus, or take the #210 bus to Lynn Headwaters and walk about ten to fifteen minutes to LSCR.

Parking is available in the nice large lot next to the water treatment centre. There are public washrooms here as well. Some of the trails here seem to be more like service roads. Very well maintained. There are plenty of bear warning signs too. Guess somebody got eaten at one point. Plenty of fellow hikers and dogs here for bears to snack on. I remember always seeing other people at some point. In other words, the place is pretty crowded during the summer months. The trails go quite a ways from here. Hikes can go from minutes to hours or days, depending on what one is looking for.

The urban park spans over 1,000 lush acres and has such a rich history. It officially opened as a public park in 1888, named after Lord Stanley, Canada's Governor General at the time. We decided to experience it in the best way possible: on two wheels. After renting bicycles near Coal Harbor, we set off along the park's famous seawall--a scenic path that loops around the entire perimeter and offers nonstop views of ocean, mountains, city, and skyline. It's the kind of ride where you find yourself stopping often because every turn reveals beautiful views. Along the way, we made stops at some of the park's most iconic landmarks. The Stanley Park Totem Poles were vibrant and deeply rooted in Indigenous culture and storytelling. We continued on to the Girl in a Wetsuit statue, and then made our way up to Prospect Point. Don't forget to take in the view of the Lions Gate Bridge stretching across the water! Further along, we stopped to admire Siwash Rock before finishing our route near A-maze-ing Laughter by English Bay. After hours of heavy rain, we got incredibly lucky--the skies cleared what felt like just for us, and we were able to enjoy the entire ride in fresh, crisp air. I was so happy seeing the beaches along the way and the tree-lined paths glowing with orange leaves as we soaked in the last bits of autumn. Best of all, we were treated to a beautiful sunset at English Bay. It felt like the perfect closing moment--peaceful, golden, and well-earned after a full loop around the park. I can't recommend visiting Stanley Park enough. Wish we had enough time to visit the teahouse, but will have to save that for next time. If you're short on time but want to see a lot, biking the seawall is absolutely the way to go. It's active, scenic, and such a memorable way to experience one of Vancouver's most beloved places.

By the time I reached the eastern edge at Alibi Room, I was going to turnaround until I saw a sign that said CRAB Park at Portside perched on the light pole at Alexander and Main. I remember reading about this area used to be called luk'luk'i by the Coast Salish peoples so I decided to take a detour see what it was like. It is a gem off the beaten path. The easiest (perhaps the only) way to get to the park is by the overpass at the north end of Main at Alexander. The overpass is also wheel-friendly. It has a huge off-leash area (though not fenced and I don't still don't understand how you can have a off-leash dog area with no fence but I don't want to digress into civic issues), a foot path along the water and even a beach! The view is absolutely gorgeous. Although you won't get a wide span view of downtown as you would from Spanish Bank, the south side of False Creek or Lonsdale Quay, the park renders you proximity to the building. The new Woodwards towers, Harbour Centre, Canada Place, Burrard Inlet and the cranes at the port are right there in front of you. When I was there during the day on a weekday around lunch time, there were only a handful of park visitors: nearby workers taking a lunch time stroll, neighbours walking their canine companions, retirees and those fortunate or unfortunate ones who do not work. It is a perfect alternative resting spot for a picnic on the weekends if you are riding your bikes but want to avoid Stanley Park crowded with tourists. I would image the view of downtown at night would be fantastic due to the proximity but I haven't been there at night. I would probably do a drive by with my car to check out how safe the park is at night before recommending anyone venturing out there on foot for a romantic walk after dinner in Gastown. It is, after all only a few blocks away from the most interesting spot in Vancouver according to Renee Zellweger (so she claimed on Regis and Kelly) - Main & Hastings.

The original lighthouse was wooden and lit in 1875 - this current lighthouse was built in 1912 out of concrete on top of a massive granite boulder. It's still in use today although the light is now automated. You can't access the lighthouse itself - it's closed off by fencing. But there are some buildings surrounding the lighthouse with interesting info signs on the parts they played during WWII. There's also picnic tables if you need a rest or some snacks. The trail up to the lighthouse viewpoint are wide and very well maintained. The entire trail is a moderate loop just over 4 miles long with almost 450 feet elevation gain according to AllTrails. Due to time constraints, we only hiked from the parking lot to the lighthouse viewpoint- it was pretty easy and it's less than a mile to the lighthouse with just over 100 feet of elevation gain. So round trip we did less than 2 miles. There's a large parking lot at the trailhead that's pay-to-park. We paid via QR code on one of the signs easily - we had good cell signal. It was just over $10CAD for about 2 hours so very reasonable.
