I went to REC Retreats for a weekend workshop. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt like I was coming home. Kjerstin was an amazing host. It was such a treat and I truly felt relaxed and comfortable. The meals were amazing, tasty and plentiful. The workshop was fabulous and it was fantastic to connect with so many wonderful women. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I have just returned from a fabulous one-day workshop with Joanna Powell Colbert at Kjersten's gorgeous REC Retreat center on magical Lummi Island. Kjerstin has created a remarkable space for individual retreat and community gatherings! Her attention to detail and tender loving care is reflected in the spotless and tastefully decorated rooms; the scrumptious food; and creative and playful possibilities for learning and pleasure (both business and pleasure).

What a fun event at REC Retreats! My daughter-in-law and her mom and I attended the wreath making class and had a blast! Kjerstin had everything (and more) that we needed to make a beautiful wreath to take home. With the lovely Christmas music and hot apple cider we now feel ready for the holidays! This was my second time at REC and I highly recommend her venue and programs!

As a workshop teacher / facilitator ... I love working with Kjerstin at REC Retreats. I’ve taught two workshops there with a third one coming up, and I plan to offer more in the future. Kjerstin makes it so easy for me as a facilitator to focus on what I do best (teaching) while she creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere and makes every participant feel right at home. I’m grateful that I don’t have to think about the details of setting up the space or coordinating meals and snacks, or the administrative work of registration. Her attention to detail is extraordinary; she is always thinking of ways to make the gathering spaces more inviting and ways to make the workshops flow seamlessly. I love collaborating with Kjerstin and I hope we continue our partnership for many years to come! As a participant ... I loved easing into the holiday season with Kjerstin’s Wreath Making workshop at REC Retreats. I was delighted with the sparkling lights, the Yule tree in the corner, the soft Christmas carols playing, the mulled cider, and the frosty water decorated with raspberries and rosemary sprigs. I was just delighted. I felt like I was being warmly welcomed into a home, not just a workshop studio. Kjerstin’s attention to detail wasn’t limited to being a gracious hostess. She had a wide array of supplies available for creating beautiful wreaths. There were all kinds of greens … cedar, fir, boxwood, rosemary, and more. There were pine cones, dried seed pods, curly maple branches, red osier dogwood twigs, rose hips, and more I can’t name. She had all the tools we needed on hand too. Kjerstin gave a great demonstration on the different ways to make wreaths, and then let us all have at it. Every wreath or swag or garland turned out different, and all so beautiful. It was a lovely evening.

My seven year old son and I attended a cookie flooding workshop hosted by REC Retreats. It was so much fun! Kjerstin, our hostess and teacher, had everything prepared on our arrival, making it easy to dive straight into learning. We were taught how to make royal icing and obtain the right consistency, how to color the icing and properly fill and hold a coronet, and different methods of flooding cookies for a professional looking finish! Kjerstin's easy-going attitude and experience teaching children made this super fun for the kids who produced some truly astounding designs! Adults had a great time, too, and it was so much fun to do this in a group so that we could collaborate on designs and visit while we decorated. We ended with a tea party to share our favorite designs, and went home with a dozen cookies. Absolutely delightful afternoon, and my son has not stopped talking about it! Thank you, Kjerstin!

The accommodations were very comfortable, warm and welcoming. Owner Kjersten Secord was the perfect host, pampering us and ensuring everyone had what they needed to enjoy their stay. She made certain my dietary needs were met (vegan gluten-free) with really awesome food, including locally made vegan gluten-free bread-the best I ever had. My entire weekend experience at REC Retreats was just perfect!

What a fabulous place! Kjerstin has created a haven to spend a day or a weekend basking in her care. I felt nurtured and pampered by her attention to detail in the setting--both inside and out--and in her partnership with the retreat leader to create a meaningful and restful break from life as usual. Her passion for this place she dreamed into being and for those who come to Retreat, Enrich, and Create is obvious. Anyone who leads or attends a retreat or other event here will not be disappointed.

Lots of free parking. Clean. Safe. Room was nice. However, first morning no hot water for 5 hours. No offer of compensation from management, no offer to move us to a new room. And this on graduation morning. They just couldn’t get it together. They have a room for smoking in casino, but you can smell the smoke in most of the hotel. Can’t just go use the gym, have to go to front desk and then accompany you to open it for you. Never seen that before at a hotel. Only sit down breakfast place (Red’s cafe) doesn’t open until 8 am. Fine if you’ve been hitting the slots until 2 am, but for regular visitors this is way too late. Staff really didn’t sell their amenities or seem to care much about us not having hot water until I raised hell. Will not visit again.

Silver Reef Hotel property has a lot going for it - clean rooms, decent amenities, and a generally comfortable atmosphere. The location is good, particularly if you're passing through or looking for something close to shopping, and local attractions in Ferndale and a short drive to Bellingham. However, there were a few drawbacks that kept it from being better than average: The bathroom didn’t come stocked with toiletries - no soap, shampoo, or other basics. It’s a small thing, but pretty inconvenient when you arrive expecting those essentials. Some of the facilities felt a bit dated (lighting, decor), so it didn’t feel as fresh or luxurious as some competitors. Staff was friendly overall, but service could be more attentive; small requests took a while. It is decent and delivers on basics, but it misses those little touches that make a stay feel good. Good for a short overnight or business stop.

The casino is fairly new and a good size, with plenty of new slots and table games. Craps info: On Saturday nights, the craps minimum is $10, and the All Tall Small minimum is $1 each. One odd thing—if the dice roll off the table, they don’t offer the same dice back. Overall, this casino is worth checking out! That said, the craps dealers could definitely be friendlier.

My wife and enjoyed our two-night-stay. The North Tower room was clean and spacious. The bed was a bit on the firm side for my taste. The Mexican restaurant was terrible, and the breakfast restaurant was above average. The casino offers complimentary coffee and soda. This is a non-smoking facility, but there is a smoking area with slots. If you're a non-smoker, be aware the entire casino does have a lingering tobacco odor, as the smoking section air filtration circulates the smoke throughout the property. Sign up for the free players card and get 10% off all purchases on the property. We also recieved $20 in gaming credits. Blackjack tables are $10 minimum, six decks, hand shuffled.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Beds are comfy very peaceful comfy lobby to relax in, clean staff were great also. Will definitely be back 🥰 the outdoor secenry is beautiful to. Parking in front wasnt the greatest but not a massive issue for myself & not gonna lie the tablet was a bit annoying,could just me i dont know technology very well😊

Great Casino, excellent RV parking. I stayed in my RV so I'm not sure about the hotel but the area for the check in was really nicely set up. The rv parking was nice, safe and well patrolled by security. They enforce their quiet hours which I appreciate for the good night sleep after traveling. The Casino was one of the nicest I have been to in my travels. They gave a good welcome package with their players card. The games are newer. They have exciting hourly raffles. Good food, a bar, and complimentary pop for the designated driver. I even won on the slots. I will definetly be back next time i'm in the area.

We stayed in both towers on 2 different nights while traveling thru to Canada...the desk clerks are very by the book cold...not welcoming....but the rooms make up for that..they are comfortable and large enough....the complimentary toiletries are first class...beds are super comfortable linens and towels great quality...had a meal at the Red River Cafe, DELICIOUS... the North Tower was my favorite....

Wonderful hiking area with many trails and beautiful beaches. Good anchorage and easy access to the beach. Amazing site for whale watching and bird viewing.

Didn't think I'd like it before we got there. Was I wrong! FYI...You can only get there by boat. Enjoyed a nice hike and beautiful scenery.

Stunning island. Complete island is a State Park. Interesting area life, going trails, boat dock, restrooms .and pavilions, camping, beaches, friendly park staff

Nice island for hanging out. Quite few boats here. Not totally sure what that’s about.

It’s great has hikes, places to camp, you can see orcas and stuff. But there are NO sucias here..

A fun place to moor up to one of the mooring balls and go explore. Beautiful surroundings. Sunset views are fantastic.

The best state park in Washington! Multiple coves, great hikes and scenery.

This site is incredibly well maintained and thoughtfully run. Whether you’re visiting with kids, friends, or just on your own, it’s a great stop for all ages. It offers a hands-on glimpse into early Canadian life. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. A must-visit if you’re exploring the area.

Wow, it was a great place to learn about Canada’s history. I was amazed this village is preserved for our next generations of Canadians… the one in the fur area was welcoming and she was amazing in explaining Canada’s history… she is awesome!!!!! Thank you so much for being so welcoming and explaining the history of how different furs impact our history….

Fort Langley National Historic Site 🇨🇦 is an absolute gem! Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time — the grounds are beautifully preserved, and the atmosphere is full of history and charm. From interactive exhibits to hands-on activities, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a fun family outing. It’s the perfect blend of entertainment and learning — a must-visit when exploring the Fraser Valley!

This is just a marvel to watch. The place has been preserved and takes to actual historic times. There's a small café that serves excellent summer beverages. We spent around 5 hours, still felt it's not enough to explore the whole place.

We absolutely enjoyed this space during our visit. Staff was friendly, helpful and the space was immaculate. And excellent way to spend a day out with the family. And I absolutely LOVED this café, I wish all Vancouver Cafés would start serving this level of healing yumminess.

Intricate stories at every stop provide a welcoming atmosphere for even the faintest of history buffs. Each building is a place bringing back a time in Canada's history in a fun, at times interactive way. Lots to see in every corner. Pull the handle on boxes to be surprised by artifacts. See what Blacksmiths, Traders, Stewards and many others used to do in a time far from the present. Live demonstrations and friendly interpreters make the experience immersive.

Visiting Fort Langley felt like traveling back in time. The well-kept historic site has interesting exhibits and helpful guides. It's a great place for history lovers and families.

A quaint little museum in the historic area of Fort Langley. We were able to enjoy a rotating gallery (featuring Syrian Refugee art during our visit) and a permanent exhibit displaying the history of the township as well as the First Nations that came before. Admission are requested by voluntary donations. Once in the museum you can enjoy a small gift shop that is primarily First Nation themed or enjoy classes and party areas for kids (a birthday party was commencing as we stepped inside). The volunteers are extremely helpful and informative and make this small museum a small treat while exploring the city! (Out of respect for the artists, no indoor photos were taken)

This is a cute little museum, and not too expensive, so if you're already in the area and seeing museums (there's 2 others within steps of this one) then I'd say it's worth it. When I was here, they had an art gallery type exhibit on one side and a cool step with historical artefacts and dioramas to peruse on the other side. My favourite part was the densely packed little general store exhibit.

Lot's cool displays and historical artifacts packed neatly into a small space. This is great for kids with short attention spans.

This small museum is a great place to go before or after the Fort Langley Fort. It has a lot of history and showcases local artisans in their trades and sells various art and jewellery and other touristry things.

Kids had a great time! And learned a lot about aboriginal art! An experience they will never forget! Thank you Docents !!!

A wonderful community museum with a lot of local history to share. With permanent and changing exhibits there is something here for all ages and interests.

Very cute inside: a lot of stuff, small space, but very neatly organized! It is a great place to go when visiting Fort Langley, my kids thoroughly enjoyed looking through here! They also love the summer camps hosted here! Great family fun times!

This is an INCREDIBLE museum with the most wonderful volunteers. Lots of working equipment, old appliances and fun historical items (player piano and old timey record player!) that volunteers will happily demonstrate for you. Just be mindful if you have toddlers - lots of sharp metal farming equiptment so you will need to have them in a stroller, carrier or carried.

One of the most unexpectedly interesting places to go! It is not just farm museum, it is a museum of people’s everyday living 100-150 years ago. We spent there a good 1-1.5h and were very impressed by the collection. The people are the nicest are willing to tell you and demonstrate you how things work if you ask. The admission is by donation and they also accept cards.

A great place for all should go at least once. It's well worth that you make a trip there. They have huge collections of anythings of the old days! It's not only a farm museum but it's like a great book we can read our history in BC. They really need a much bigger place for all the great collections. The volunteers are all great. If we don't have all the hard working volunteers, there are no chance for us seeing our history. I think people don't know about this museum. We went to Fort Langley National Historic Site so many times. But it's the first time we went there, people may think farm museum is not interesting. It's all about people life in our past. It's really a great place. Make sure you come to visit when they reopen April next year. They are closed for the winter season. Please check their website. Bring the whole family and friends next year. Thank you all the volunteers and staff there! The admission is by donation and accept credit card.

First time visiting as part of the 2025 Greater Vancouver Vancouver Tourism Challenge! Shoutout to Jim as the best volunteer I met today across 3 museums !

It was fun to visit and see and learn about the history of farming equipment and farming life. Lots of wonderful antiques. The scavenger hunt was a hit too for my daughter and myself.

Interesting museum, loads to learn and see the century old farming tools and living conditions for the farmers. Lot of well maintaince exhibitions and images to view and learn from. It was a comfortable visit.

Lots to see, friendly volunteers to explain the areas. Great museum.

Good one to spend 1-2 hrs, make sure to park your car on the parking otherwise you have to come through border security which will take not less than 1 hr. Parking is on first right turn and there are not turns beyond that point

Beautiful park on the US-Canada border. The park has large green open space. The peace arch towering the park is magnificent. There is ample free parking. The view of the ocean, totem pole and Japanese garden are really good. But the most unique thing about the park is that people from US and Canada can meet without going through immigrations. There are rangers who monitor that there are no illegal crossings but nothing is checked while you are in the park. The park is very peaceful and well maintained. USA also maintains the park on the other side of the border. The US side has a play area with some swings in addition to restrooms and picnic shelters. Looking forward to visit again.

Peace Arch Park is an ideal spot for family outings and mini picnics! The lush greenery, spacious grounds, and tranquil ambiance create the perfect setting for quality family time. Kids absolutely love exploring the park, playing games, and having a picnic under the clear blue sky. With ample space to run around and plenty of picnic spots, it’s a wonderful place to create lasting memories with loved ones. Highly recommended for families seeking a fun and relaxing day out!”

An interesting and spectacular place where the border between the two countries, America and Canada, has no guard, the park has a picnic area and a children's play area, you can visit both sides of the park in America and Canada.

Shopping in the US is our family’s routine every now and then. I loved to see the historical Peace Arch with its gorgeous garden across the border. It’s a beautiful monument situated between the communities of Blaine, Washington and Surrey, British Columbia.

This park is very hard to get to or find if you have never been there before. Google maps takes you all over the place even tries to send you across the border to the USA, but does not give good directions to get there. When you get to this park it is very small, but it has beautiful large trees and a small path to the railway tracks and you can see the beach on the other side. You are not allowed to cross the tracks. There is a sign threatening charges if you get caught. Don’t get caught crossing the railway tracks. At the end of the path you can see the USA and Canada sides of the border. Across the water you can see the Island and the open ocean. The sight is beautiful. There is very little to do at this park. If you are not going there for a planned gathering or to see the railway tracks and the beach across from them, this park is boring.

Make sure you take the beach road exit before the US Canada border ! Orelse you will have to make a u turn and sit through a line . The police man at the duty free exit are not well trained in Canadian politeness to say the least. Park itself is amazing , you can bring your on stove and have a good time.

Great place for a walk. Cute shops and decent dining in White Rock. The pier is a nice sunset stroll.

It is a beautiful spot when the weather is good. Great street music going on, a lot of happy people enjoying the walk. I highly recommend it. Keep two hours min. Add more time for eating out as a lot of options for dinner there.

A place to walk, chill, make your mind in peace . White rock pier is a place full of positivity , serenity . One can go there and sit for some time and take a small walk on the pier. Enjoy the beauty ,nature,water, seagulls chirping , sea shore sound. There are enormous restaurants where you can eat and see sunset peacefully. Easily accessible by car till that point . Less walk for seniors and kids too . One can easily take small bus too to reach till that point .

My absolute favourite place in Vancouver. The most satisfying walk is walking through the promenade and the pier. This place always has something fun to offer .. be it sea festival or some rockband playing some beautiful music. Best place for families to come and enjoy some fresh breeze

An incredible adventure! Walk the prominade, the pier and stroll the beach. Observe the starfish on the U.S - Canada marker. Visit the amazing icecream shops and many restaurants with huge platters of fish & chips. White Rock is definitely worth the visit. You won't be disappointed.

This was our destination when we went ebiking this weekend with my son. The scenery was breathtaking and relaxing. Very nice to visit specially in the early morning where there is less people around.

White Rock Pier is a 470-metre-long (1,540 ft) pier in White Rock, British Columbia. Originally built in 1914, it was a dock for steamships that arrived when the Great Northern Railway began operation. On December 20, 2018, the pier was severely damaged during a wind storm. The pier was repaired and reopened in 2019. 🤍

Overall good experience. Performance was funny and edgy. Definitely not for sensitive people as they mention on the website but not over the top. The circus show was great and the live music afterward was enjoyable. Even the music choice before and between acts was awesome. Great selection of drinks. Food options cater to all, I feel, and was delicious. Some changes obviously due to covid but I didn't feel it took away from the quality of the show overall. Definitely recommend for a fun night out.

This was my 4th visit to The Giggle Dam. The shows are always top notch. They are funny, a lil raunchy, and always full of talent!! The food is delicious and generous. The atmosphere reflects the current show perfectly from the decor to the servers and waitstaff costumes. The drinks are delicious! It's well worth the price

We had an absolute blast celebrating our 6 month wedding anniversary! The Giggle Dam puts in such a great show. They had us laughing all night. Dinner wasn’t half bad either. They serve a four course meal with various options for your main.

I LOVE this place! The cast is incredible, and ridiculously talented. You will 100% have a good time. It's saucy, racy, original, and hilarious. You can tell the cast is having a good time, too. Get the Dam sized cocktails if you want to have extra fun ;) there's a full bar! 🍺 Super fun experience, great for groups and parties for sure.

Same dam place. One thing they have going for them is consistency. Consistently delicious alcoholic mixology, consistent politically incorrect dirty humor, consistently terrible food and a consistently GREAT TIME!!!! If you have never been but you like dinner comedy and old time rock and roll, this place should get up on your list. The owners are getting on in age, this place must have been around 15 to 20 years so it wont last forever. Get in while they're still warm! The place is always packed, be prepared to be in a small room with a couple hundred people. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE ATTENDING, COMEDY IS SILLY AND VULGAR, SHOW IS FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART, NOT FOR PRUNES AND PICKY CRY BABIES. These people put it out there trying to entertain. This isnt a 200$ ticket you are buying...

Went here for the first time this evening and it was so much fun! They took plenty of precautions to keep us safe, the food was good, and the entertainment was... well... hilarious! Hope to come back again soon! Cheers friends!

Irreverent! Politically incorrect! And just flat plain funny. A place where you can truly go to laugh at yourself and real comedy. Great show and a good meal for the price. I'm from the US and have been twice. Definitely will be back for more!

A lively casino with plenty of gaming options and a fun atmosphere. The staff are professional and helpful, and the space feels modern and clean. Parking is convenient, and the location is easy to access. It can get quite busy on weekends, but overall it’s a good spot for entertainment, dining, and a night out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unfortunately, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver didn’t meet expectations. The overall vibe was downbeat, with a somewhat tired atmosphere and a crowd that didn’t help lift the mood. The table selection wasn’t great either, lacking variety and energy. The location itself isn’t particularly convenient, making access less than ideal, especially if you’re not living nearby. The one bright spot? The Gordon Ramsay Burger restaurant inside the casino. easily the best part of the visit, offering good food in contrast to the casino experience. worth visiting only for the burger, not the gaming.

This was my second time at the casino so I am a beginner but I won big! I liked the selection of slots and the service and staff were good. I won 3 jackpots off one machine and the others were decent small wins.

We have been going to this casino for a little while and was feeling alright about our experience until today. I sat down at a machine and there was a slip with about $80 on it sticking out of the beeping machine. I looked around and there wasn't anyone nearby, walking away. My boyfriend thought it was best to ask at the cash counter what the policy was. Was it possible to connect this slip to someone? The lady behind the counter eagerly took the slip from us and said the money would probably go to the casino. She seemed kind of shady with her answers. In that case I was very sorry my boyfriend had taken it out of my hands and allowed the cashier to grab what would be just more money for the casino. Chances are that it will never go to the actual owner but just go to the casino or more possibly the worker. So far I have not received a response from the casino to my email asking to clarify thier policy surrounding found money. I don't think I will be going back as I don't like throwing away my money here.

Absolutely the most poorly managed casino that I’ve ever visited. The first day of NFL football with 50 empty tables and they can’t figure out how to play the sound, so we were having to listen to horse jumping while the football game was on . 20 minutes after ordering a baileys and coffee they come and tell me that they don’t have any baileys. I walked out without spending a dime and never going back.

Don't waste your time here...go to Langley instead you might actually win something over there...this casino sucks bigtime.. they charge 30$ for a burger and fries with a fry portion meant to feed a 3 year old so after your done being ripped off gambling, you can feel ripped off on your meal also....I promise you, you will not win anything here. the RTP value in this casino is complete and udder crap...im consecutively disappointed with this place and will not be going back myself...

Guest services act like jerks to guests. I went to ask a question and the lady just talked over me the whole time. I asked if it’s common to talk over someone like that and she said “I have to go because we’re busy.” Apparently they’re too busy for customers, don’t really know who the hell they think they’re existing for. I wanted ask about staying here multiple nights, but the clerk was “too busy” so I’ll just spend my money somewhere else. Don’t waste your time. 10/2/25 8:00PM

Lafarge Lake Park is like the central park of our city. It’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with family and friends. A true gem in the heart of the community!

I love taking a stroll around the park especially seeing the changes every season. It’s great that there is something for everyone to do. Two ice cream shops/cafes now. Plus free wifi!

This is the perfect place if you want to feel the Christmas spirit.. the park is beautiful with all the lights and music . We went there with my son and he was fascinated… we all loved ..-and it is free …

Having grown up when Lafarge Lake was little more than a former gravel pit filled with water, I can't help but be impressed by the fantastic job the City has done with this park. Loads of amenities and plenty of room to wander, play, explore, and relax. Always a lovely visit!

A great big park for everyone. Lots of sport fields, playground, large big lawn, a big lake. It's very popular for the lafarge Lake lights Festival in Christmas. It also holds a lot of summer events too. The big stage by the lake is good for concerts and shows. The flat trail around the lake is good for a walk. Lots of parking is good for all events. But it will be not enough washroom when the events take place, more washrooms are really important too. There are also with a electrical scooter station in the park. It has free wifi.

Our family's one of the most favorite places for walk and outdoor play. I had taken my younger daughter there, when she was younger to play at the playground or in the spray park, now I take my grandchildren there. We enjoy each year the Christmas Decoration. Today, we walked in the beautiful garden, which had never been that beautiful before.

An extraordinary and amazing park in downtown of Coquitlam. This park is really enjoyable, with many different things and spots to visit. There are soccer fields, basketball, volleyball, water park, tennis court, baseball field, a huge and official running field, so many things. Large parking lot, public washrooms, some places to eat and do small snacks, spaces for a BBQ. For who likes run or walking, there are a lot of places to do around the park. I really recommend this place.

This park is absolutely beautiful with the lake in the middle and all the beautiful flowers that surround it. Great walk! Spotted a Blue Heron today. Would definitely visit. Lots of benches and great for a Picnic. Lots of people fish too. There's also free WIFI, hit or miss.

Small man-made lake within the city, full of geese and ducks. Nice place to take a little walk around, very close to transit.

Very beautiful place gets crowded after sun goes down. We enjoy it all year round.and Lotsa ppl walking their dogs.

Wonderful event experience at Lafarge Lake last weekend of July. The lake has lots of green spaces for picnic. Beautiful gardens, a wonderful man-made lake with a waterfall. Nice place for a weekend, relaxing enjoyment with the family. Only setback the pay parking when events are happening at the park are unrealistic. You have to park blocks away.

We went here to participate in Water lantern festival. This is a beautiful park with stage in the middle and lake and fountain.

Love this place!clean,green and full of energy-one of my favorite spots in coquitlam.

Great atmosphere at this public park. Lots of action whether it be private get-to-gethers or public activities in the stage area or in the numerous buildings supporting the area. Sounds of laughter and delight are a big draw for me to come here often. Wait till you see the light display---spectacular!

A beautiful beach and hiking trail. Although there is no shade or trees along the hiking trail but if you want a nice view of Mount Baker in Washington then you are at the right place. Plenty of parking here The beach hike is nice and if you love to swim then it is worth to cool off here while looking at Mount Baker

We simply love it there! Parking is easy & free, amenities are great (easy to clean yourself & the kids up after a sandy day on the beach 😅)… perfect spot to chill - and really cool is low tide time when you can walk aaaall the way over to White Rock! (no kidding!) It‘s clean, it‘s super safe - fantastic place for everybody! Small kids can play in the water & everybody else can practice their SUP skills! Enjoy!!

Excellent location with stunning views, walkable beach with Mt baker views! All faculties are in great conditions, love of picnic tables and parking spots! My kids love the big playground so much, it connected the old and new play sets together. Highly recommended to visit or spend a day here if you come to tsawwassen!

This is my new favorite beach! What a gorgeous view of the of the sand bar when the tide is out, there is lots of parking huge clean washrooms and a very impressive kids big toy play area. Lots of bird watching there everywhere. Lots of logs spread all over the beach to sit on. On the far right side is the USA/Canada concrete marker that's cool u can just walk right into the states. This beach would be amazing during sunset. They also have a food stand here near the entrance. Great beach 💯💯💯

It's a complete package, dog friendly walk areas, beach access, large parking lot, playground etc. One of the best place to get away from your daily life. You can be in nature and see some beautiful landscapes, birds and more.

It's a great place to take the kids out to play in the water and Barbie Q. you can walk them all day long but you have to watch the tide come in and go out and if you catch the tide you have to walk a long, long way to see the sea and the other thing is that the place where you can put the tent up is probably sand so it's best to put a layer of somethingor, Otherwise the bottom of the tent will be covered with dirt. there's only one place on this big beach where people line up to wash their feet and sand and that's very, very, very bad and needs to be improved.

We came here on Monday BC day as we've heard it was great for families. Although very crowded we managed to get a parking spot nearby without having to use their free shuttle. It is indeed a great beach for families. Calm water and safe enough for young children. You can walk a 100 meters from shore and water is still about waste deep. There are Park staff that help keep everyone organized and safe.

A moderately challenging out and back hike that takes me an average of 1 hour and 20 minutes depending on how bad my quads are burning. Contrary to what others have been reviewing I don’t think there’s that much of a view but I appreciate the good workout. Itll be hard to do this hike on a sunny day as there’s not much shade but it’s enjoyable on a nice breezy day !

Tackled the Coquitlam Crunch with my cousin and aunties—and wow, those stairs don’t play around! 🥵 Over 400 steps straight up felt like a mini Grouse Grind, but we powered through together, one step at a time. Legs were burning, but the views (and the company) made it all worth it. 💖💪 Reaching the top felt so fulfilling—like we conquered something big as a team. So proud of us for pushing through the sweat, laughs, and occasional “Are we there yet?” moments. Grateful for this day, the climb, and the strong women beside me. 👣⛰️

I'm an old guy and not very fit...yet. I love the Crunch because it is wide enough that I can take my slow pace and know that there is plenty of room to have others pass me without a problem. At first I thought it would be ugly having to walk under the power lines, but they have done a fabulous job in creating a nice trail and there are some great sport fields, a community garden and pickle ball courts on the level areas. A dog park too! The stair section has signs every 25 steps with a few motivational quotes. On our last visit the skies were clear giving us gorgeous views of Mt Baker. There are many entry points to the trail along the way. At the bottom there are well maintained restrooms.

It is a fantastic place to burn your calories. You have two ways to use. Either way to go up and come down. Total of 2.25 km from the beginning. Ample parking spaces in two locations. The availability of toilets with running water is also a notable feature. Found separate bins for dog waste and garbage but no place for recycles.

Lovely wide park pathway with a bit of a challenge whether going up or down. Has a water bottle station and public bathrooms along Lansdowne Drive, with plenty of parking scattered around. A bit of a workout if inexperienced with decent slope grades, yet beginner friendly, just take your time and enjoy the views. I came downhill, and the stairs at the end were a killer after hiking towards Eagle Mountain for a couple hours. But I lived. Take it easy, believe in yourself, and you can easily conquer the Crunch in a day whether going uphill, downhill, or both.

Great place to exercise your legs and take in fresh air. The most challenging part would be the stairs but after the stairs it is just a paved path. As you go higher, the views start to emerge itself. I can imagine just how beautiful it can get during sunrise and sunset. Fun fact, at the top of the stairs you are higher than the high rises! You can also see just how close the clouds are to the mountains on rainy days. Free parking and public washrooms are available.

The Coquitlam Crunch Trail is an intense yet rewarding experience. I regularly hike this trail with my daughter, and each journey strengthens our bond. The trail's challenging nature makes our time together even more meaningful. However, it's essential to choose the right time of day for your hike, as the trail offers limited shade and can get extremely hot. We find early mornings to be the best time to enjoy the trail and avoid the heat.

Busy, but very efficient ferry dock for BC ferries and others to go to islands, such as Vancouver Island. Little marketplace with food outlets and shopping vendors. It's great to have a bite to eat before docking.

Fantastic way to transport car $80 over from Vancouver to Victoria. On time, nice big clean boat, and with a cafeteria on board. Amazing views throughout the ship of the journey. Attraction in itself. Buy tickets in advance, they do fill up, especially when going with a car.

I was in Vancouver last week and decided to take the ferry to Victoria Island. We purchased ticket ahead of time and arrived with our car. It was a very smooth and fast process, you check in at the toll station and you show your boarding pass. They will assign you a lane and you go to the lane and wait for the boarding process. Surprisingly the process was very fast and efficient. They loaded over 200 cars and truck under 10-15 min. Once inside you can turn off your car and go up in the deck. They have nice sitting area, work stations, coffee shop and you can go outside and enjoy the beautiful view. It was a pleasant experience.

We got there just less than an hour from the next ferry to leave for Victoria. We paid at the entrance booth to the ferry terminal. The price for the car and two people was very reasonable. No need to book ahead. There was no extra charge for making the reservation. We got the line to go to and we drove there and placed our car next in line. It seems people get out of their cars and go shopping and eating at the enclosed mall. The building was great! Wonderful quality shops and many nice priced places to eat. Then, off to the car and enjoyed our hour and 30 minute trip. The ferry was pleasant and the view was very nice, Great experience!

BC Ferries are well-organized, speedy and clean. Booking our tickets online proved to be a wise decision, as it spared us any delays upon entering the terminal. Our ferry departed on schedule, and the boarding process was smooth and hassle-free. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking in every direction. Regrettably, the prices are notably steep. Nevertheless, the ferry journey itself was a delightful experience. Brace yourself for the wind on the ferry deck. We captured so many pictures. I thoroughly enjoy boarding the ferry at Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal.

Arrived 1:10 early and they said do we want to go on the earlier boat, yes please. Restaurant closed on Sunday but vending machines. Boat really smooth and the views are amazing of the little islands to Vancouver Swartz Bay. Tip make your way to the sun terrace at the top it’s the warmest and best views.

I Love the ferry terminal. Washrooms are always clean. Instructions are which line up to get in are clear. I think there is lots to enjoy as a casual user. Just be sure to get a reservation as sometimes the ferry can be very busy and it does get boring to have to wait a sailing or two….

We love it here Went today after not going for a few years. Caught myself saying to my daughter who was 2 when we first went… why did we wait so long to come again (now 9) We saw SO many birds. 2 bird nests I have never seen before. Hand fed red winged black birds and chickadees with the provided seed $2 a bag. DO NOT BRING your own seed or food for birds. Gift shop is adorable. Picked up some bird colouring books and paint by numbers on our way out. Make a day of it and hit up Emma Leah farms and westham island herb farm on your way home. We will be back soon for some birding !!!! Thanks

Very cool place for bird lovers. Might be hot walking in the sun so recommend bringing umbrellas or hats. Requires parking reservation for the 2 hour stay, on their website. Saw beautiful herons and little birds are likely to feed off seeds from hands! Very well kept sanctuary considering how many birds live there.

Absolutely love this Sanctuary. There are cranes, ducks, grease, and tons of other birds. A lot of birds here are very friendly and will eat out of your hand. Nice trial walks. $8 per person and I am usually there for 2-3 hours!

Fantastic spot to visit if you have access to a car, absolute gem of a bird sanctuary with knowledgeable staff and community. Worthwhile way to spend an afternoon in the late summer and I can only imagine how incredible it would be to visit in the Spring!

Such a peaceful spot! We saw lots of ducks and even a few sandhill cranes wandering around. Feeding the ducks was a fun highlight. The trails are easy and perfect for a relaxing stroll. Great way to unwind and enjoy nature. Can’t wait for fall/winter time when the vegetation not so dense

I think this was good value for the money. It's just a bit out of the way to access. I'm not a bird watcher, but there were certainly plenty to see. They may be a bit too accustomed to humans though lol. The trails are well maintained and there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view or watch the birds along the way. There is a tower and several blinds along the way. There are picnic tables and washrooms near the parking. It took us about 2 hours to circumnavigate the area and also wander through the middle a bit. There is plenty of parking, although you do need a reservation. They don't kick you out after your 2 hour block - I think it's just an arrival window - and they are strict on not letting you in before that time starts. We went during summer and we may return again during another season to see different birds.

We had a great experience at the bird park. Plenty of birds to view. Make sure you carry pumpkin seeds to feed birds - it's a great experience. Also make sure to carry binoculars, a bag pack, lots of water/snacks and be prepared for a beautiful walk around the reef.

This is a beautiful and relaxing Classical Chinese Garden. We visited on a recent trip. It was $16 to enter as an adult. Inside we could enjoy the walk and relaxing atmosphere. They offered free tea and there was a room with a few traditional Chinese activities to learn or try. The Garden neighbours a park by almost the same name. The Park is free to enter, and if you were just looking for a taste of the experience, you could do that at no cost. The Garden looks over the pond that is shared by both the paid garden and the free park. Spent about 1 hour total between the 2. The exit is through a lovely gift shop.

It’s a calm and pleasant spot in an otherwise noisy town, but since it’s part of an open-entry park, the house itself doesn’t really justify the ticket price. Inside you’ll only find some Chinese-style furniture—unclear whether authentic or just styled to look old—arranged in a very bare interior with an equally plain garden. If you’ve ever seen original Chinese homes, you’ll find this one strikingly empty; if you haven’t, it may give you a very basic idea of how they look. The most interesting moment had nothing to do with the house at all: I watched a heron catch a fish from the pond right in front of me. It was extraordinary, something I had never seen so close before. That alone was beautiful. Otherwise, don’t bother paying for the entrance. Just walk behind the statue and you’ll enter the park for free. Nothing inside is worth your time.

Visited June 2025. During our walk around Chinatown, we came across this garden. We walked through a store and out the back door and ended up here. This was a great surprise in an overall depressing situation in the area. The garden is very peaceful to walk around and take in nature right in the middle of the city.

A peaceful place to soothe your peace, I visited the park and classic garden (entry fee) . I came here a few days after my dad's funeral. This has serenity away from the city life beyond the walls.

This place was so cute to stop in while exploring Chinatown. A little oasis in what is kind of a rougher part of the city. We just did the public portion, not the ticketed part, but we saw plenty of lovely botanicals and hidden paths and picture spots. Definitely worth a walk!!

I’ve been there twice — once in spring and once in summer — and both seasons look amazing. There’s a small garden that makes you feel like you’re in China. It’s such a calm and peaceful place where you can sit, sip your tea, and watch the beautiful fish swimming in the pond. There’s also a small shop where you can buy traditional Chinese souvenirs.

This is not just a garden, this is a monument to Chinese culture. A pure diamond in the heart of Vancouver. A safe place to rest and relax if you need a break from the city. It gives you the feeling to enter a bubble full of positive energy. Tea was great, the staff was more than happy to help you throughout the visit. What an amazing experience 🙏🏻

Great street with many shops

Nicely decorated, having many shops with prices on year ending clearing with assortment of items of innovative design many restaurants, populated by visitors number of which is more than other streets in downtown area.

Great place to walk . Interesting stories to window shop. Nothing is open but tons of murals on display.

Robson Street is one of the busiest and most beautiful streets in downtown Vancouver. It’s filled with all kinds of restaurants, clothing and shoe stores, as well as beauty shops. Anyone visiting Vancouver should definitely check out this street. It has a great vibe, especially in the spring when the weather is cool and refreshing.

Perfect place with all available sources. Very close to lake. Within walking distance.

A busy shopping and dining street.

Clear lovely street with spacious sidewalks.

Gastown is definitely one of the must-visit spots in Vancouver. It’s the city’s historic heart, with cobblestone streets, old brick buildings, and vintage street lamps that give it a unique charm. The Steam Clock is the highlight, fun to watch and a perfect photo spot. I really enjoyed just walking around, checking out the local shops, art galleries, and trying out cafes and pubs along the way. In the evening the whole place lights up beautifully, making it even more atmospheric. Great for a casual stroll, good food, and a bit of Vancouver history all in one.

Cool but of history. I think the best times are on the hour when you can hear the whole chime with the number of hours to match the time of day. The quarter chimes are cool as well but the whole chime is spectacular. There are bars you can sit at near by to get a view as well. Won't go out of my way but if you're in the area, worth a stop!

The Gastown Steam Clock is a unique and charming attraction, even though it is currently under maintenance and not whistling completely. The clock still runs and plays its melody every 15 minutes, though it is running about 3 minutes early. Despite these minor issues, the clock remains a fascinating blend of old-world charm and modern engineering, drawing visitors with its steam-powered whistles and historical significance in Vancouver’s Gastown district. It’s definitely worth seeing for its uniqueness and the atmosphere it creates in the area. Keep in mind to check maintenance status before visiting to catch its full performance.

A tourist attraction that is centered around a unique steam powered clock in the Gas Town district of Vancouver. The clock runs entirely on steam, and although as of October 2025 the clock is under maintenance, it still plays sound every 15 minutes. Thats the real attraction around this clock and you can time your visit. There is usually a long queue of tourists trying to capture their photo in front of the clock. The neighborhood and the road itself are really nice to be around. This has to be part of your Vancouver visit itinerary.

The Gastown Steam Clock is a beautiful landmark and a must-see in Vancouver. The clock is very well maintained and offers a charming mix of architecture and live steam music. The surrounding cobblestone streets make it a perfect area to walk around and enjoy the historic atmosphere of the city. Without a doubt, it’s something you shouldn’t miss during your visit to Vancouver!

Nice charm from the steam clock. Got to be there on the hour as the steam clock will steam out the hours by the number of hums. Though the clock doesn't show standard time, probably needs some lubricant.

Great quirky attraction. Would have had 5 stars had the time on the clock been accurate. It was 10 minutes out, but once we figured thay out we were able to watch it complete the full chime sequence on the hour. The surrounding area is a great place for shops, bars and restaurants, both day and night. Well worth a visit.

Such a great attraction this is! Family friendly, informative and absolutely stunning views. We loved the information cards placed right by the view. Children enjoyed this experience more than the adults. The staff were very well trained, they kept the facility spotless and well organized.

First time visit here as visited Vancouver couple times. Great view for 360 degree view of all the directions of the city, in a sunny day. Drawback is they will close before sunset, so you cannot come for a night view. But probably they are worried about the safety in downtown for that.

That was sooo exciting when you go up in the very quick glass elevator about 130 meters high, or actually 168 meters above sea level! You can see all of Vancouver’s attractions from above. Inside, there are pictures of different Vancouver spots with their history, and there’s even a QR code you can scan to listen to the guide. Highly recommend it!

We didn’t get time to go to grouse mountain so decided to do the lookout. Cost is approx $44 for two. It was ok. Not much atmosphere at the top but there are markers for each site/building etc. it was cool being in the elevator outside. I wouldn’t say it’s a must do.

The Vancouver Lookout definitely lives up to its name—you get a mostly great panoramic view of the entire city. It’s a beautiful way to get your bearings and take in the skyline, mountains, and water all at once. That said, the ticket prices are pretty steep for what is essentially a quick experience. I give them bonus points for the thoughtful touch of having stepstools for little kids so they can actually enjoy the view too. I’ve done it once and it was lovely—but at that price point, I don’t feel the need to do it again. Worth checking off your list, but maybe not a repeat visit.

If you’re a first-time visitor to Vancouver or keen on getting a quick, immersive city overview—especially with different lighting by day and night—the Vancouver Lookout is worth a stop. For seasoned locals or those watching the budget, you may choose to simply admire the skyline from street-level rooftops or nearby drinking spots.

The Vancouver Lookout is an absolute must-do experience for anyone visiting this stunning city. Perched atop the Harbour Centre, the observation deck offers truly breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views that encompass the entire Vancouver skyline, the majestic North Shore Mountains, and the vast Pacific Ocean. From this unique vantage point, you can clearly see iconic landmarks like Stanley Park, the historic Gastown, and even Vancouver Island on a clear day. What makes this visit so special is not just the height, but the well-designed layout of the Lookout, providing ample space to walk around and take in every angle. The informative signs help identify key points of interest, enhancing the experience. We spent a good hour just soaking it all in, witnessing the dynamic interplay of urban development, natural beauty, and the bustling harbour. The glass elevator ride up is also a thrilling part of the experience. Whether you go during the day to see everything in crisp detail or at night when the city lights twinkle, it offers a different yet equally magical perspective. This Lookout

Visited the Flyover Canada and did the Iceland Flyover. The ride cost about 32CAD discounted for BC residents. There is a short 6 minutes show before the ride.. I did not find the intermission show interesting at all. It seems they tried to make it kids friendly but even the kids doesn’t look interested. The storyline feels disconnected. After the intermission, visitors are led to the room with the rides. It was not a full room, there were vacant sits. The actual probably took amount 10 minutes (maybe less?). The show was interesting and I enjoyed it, although thee are a lot of room for improvements. It s supposed to be a sensory ride but it was missing the sensory effects. The mist was very milk and almost nothing, would also be nice if there will be strong cold or hot air, or some fragrance. The entire experience including intermission was about less than 30 minutes ( maybe about 20) which was quite an expensive for the price. Although I enjoyed the experience, I don’t think it’s worth the price. If you are tight on budget, I would not recommend this ride. This is expensive if doing it with family. Video recording was not allowed inside so I was not able to record the experience.

Had a wonderful time visiting the Flyover. All the team members are friendly and professional. We did both offerings- Canada and Iceland.It's really amazing to feel like you're soaring through the sky! If you arrive early there's a snack shop and gift shop. Great selection to choose from too. There's also a pic you can purchase to commemorate your visit. Try it next time you are at Canada place. BTW, if you need assistance with accessibility you can easily be accommodated. There's elevators if you have trouble with climbing stairs.

I recently went to FlyOver Canada in Vancouver, and honestly, it was absolutely stunning and mesmerizing. The ride itself feels incredibly real, you really get the sensation of flying over some of Canada’s most breathtaking landscapes, like the Rockies and the vast wilderness. The visuals are spectacular, and the effects like mist, wind, and even scents totally make the experience feel immersive and unforgettable. It’s the kind of adventure that’s great for all ages and really shows off the beauty of Canada from a unique perspective. One thing I noticed though is that the pre-show introduction could be handled better. Everyone ended up standing around, which made it tough to see the screen if you’re seated and especially if you’re disabled, you don’t get the best visibility unless you’re right up front. It was a bit frustrating and could be more organized to make sure everyone can see comfortably. But once the actual ride started, all those little issues disappeared. The flight was mesmerizing and completely captivating from start to finish. I highly recommend taking some pictures after the ride at the gift shop to remember the experience. Overall, it was unforgettable and definitely worth doing if you are visiting Vancouver. It’s a perfect mix of technology and storytelling that really brings Canada to life in the most incredible way.

Totally recommend this! I’ve lived in Vancouver for years and just tried FlyOver Canada — way better than I expected. The visuals are stunning and it really feels like you’re flying. Great for families or just a fun outing. Plus, there’s a discount for BC residents — just bring some ID! I’ll definitely be back when they rotate the films.

🎢 Entertainment: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👉🏻 FlyOver Canada is such a unique and thrilling experience! The immersive ride makes you feel like you’re truly flying across breathtaking Canadian landscapes. It’s both exciting and relaxing at the same time—an absolute must-try for locals and tourists alike. ✈️🍁 💁🏼 Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👉🏻 The service at the ticket office was smooth and professional. Staff were friendly, helpful, and quick to answer questions, which made the check-in process easy and stress-free. 👏🏼 💡 Tips for Visitors: 🗺️ The ticket station is located right by Canada Place, making it easy to find. 💳 It’s cheaper to buy tickets online, and if you hold a BC driver’s license (proof of residency), you can also enjoy discounted rates. 🥤 Drinks are not allowed inside the building, so avoid buying a big drink before entering—you won’t be able to bring it in.

This ride is the only one of its kind in greater Vancouver. The experience overall (including the mini film inside, lining up, the ride) lasts about 30 minutes, but the actual ride itself is about 10 minutes. My only complaint is the price is pretty steep for an attraction that is so brief.

My boyfriend and I did the Awaken Canada and Flyover Iceland experiences and absolutely loved them. We are from Toronto and really hope to see this come to us! Highly recommend you check this out. Get your tickets online before you go, they are cheaper and you can pick your time. Be prepared there is quite a wait time before you get to the actual flyover portion, however let yourself enjoy the full experience not just the main event!

The area offers an excellent atmosphere for strolling and observing tourists as they board their cruises. In addition to the lively ambiance, there are various rides and souvenir shops to explore, making it a vibrant destination. Walking to or taking a ride share service is best since I didn't see any parking areas.

It is an Iconic landmark and a must-visit in Vancouver. Canada Place offers stunning views of the waterfront, mountains, and city skyline. The architecture is impressive, and it's a great spot for photos. Explore the shops, dine at one of the restaurants, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. Perfect for locals and tourists alike

Place du Canada is an impressively large and beautifully designed public space right in the heart of Vancouver. The area is open, welcoming, and very well laid out, making it easy to walk around and explore. It’s a truly pleasant attraction, whether you’re visiting for the first time or stopping by again. There’s always something happening here—events, activities, or just the natural buzz of people enjoying the space. It feels vibrant and full of life, yet still comfortable enough to relax and take in the surroundings. The mix of scenery, atmosphere, and things to do makes it a great place to spend some time. Overall, Place du Canada is definitely worth a visit if you’re in Vancouver.

The water front area . Ferry, station and many bus pick up place. Very nice views of water front and city. Tickets to many tourist attractions including Capilano suspension park, grouse mountain, etc., available

Canada Place is iconic and you’ll see the seaplanes, cruise ships and famed whale statue and Olympic Cauldron. Perfect place to walk along the harbor, shop and enjoy the many restaurants. It’s usually busy given that it is by the convention center and many cruise ships dock in the area. There is also a very fun ride, FlyOver Canada that will make you feel that you are actually flying, suspended in air with an aerial and jaw dropping views of Canada. Nice activity if it’s a rainy day.

Last week was my first cruise and was pleasantly surprised how easy and efficient it was at Canada Place to drop off our luggage and proceed to get on board our ship. We walked by the day before our ship left to get a lay of the land (walking down toward the luggage drop off) and ended up taking an Uber the day of (overpackers, lol) and got down to the drop off very quickly.

A beautiful building and a must see place when visiting Vancouver. There is a hotel, convention center and other things but we go there for the beautiful views. There is a cruise ship terminal and you might see a ship docked there. You can see north and west Vancouver. There is port nearby that you can see ships being unloaded. There are benches around and the walk is beautiful by the water. The views of the city during daylight and at night are amazing. There are restaurants if you need to eat.

Awesome totem poles that are free to view and take pictures. They have a boundary, so no one is permitted to go directly in contact with these statues. As a result, they're well kept and maintained here. There is a parking lot and a gift shop nearby. Lots of warning signs around the area about wild animals. Wide and clear walkways and paths to go on. It wasn't busy at all when we visited on a weekend afternoon. I recommend coming to see the Brockton Point Totem pole amongst other landmarks at Stanley park. It makes for a great walk along the coast line to see Vancouver!

Important point in Stanley park. There are public washrooms and a store near this point.

Read the signs that tell the story behind each Pole

One Brockin Rockin Totem Pole point

Good totem poles

Not the best

(Translated by Google) Very pretty, it’s a shame that the explanations of the meanings of each totem are erased. (Original) Très joli, dommage que les explications des significations de chaque totem s’effacent.

Great (and challenging) hike up, but well worth the effort. Awesome views at the top. Check out the grizzly refuge, and if lucky see some colourful local birds. If you hike up the return gondola is only $25, compared to $87 for mountain admission (non resident)

We were visiting BC from the Prairies, so a gondola ride was a must! Picking one was tricky though — they all seemed a bit overpriced. We ended up choosing Grouse Mountain because of their discounted evening ticket, which felt like a good way to experience the views without breaking the bank. As expected, most of the daytime activities were closed by then, but they looked fun and worth checking out if you come earlier in the day. The ride up on the smaller gondola was smooth and enjoyable. The ride down on the larger Skyride, however, was a bit of a letdown — it was crowded, and we had to wait quite a while for it to fill before it departed. That said, the evening walk around the top was beautiful. There was lots to see, and we were lucky enough to spot deer just roaming around — and the bears were super cool to see up close! Even without all the attractions running, it was a great experience overall. Worth it for the views and wildlife alone.

Grouse Mountain was such a great experience! The Skyride up is amazing — the view of Vancouver and the ocean is unreal. There was also a really fun show that made the visit even better. I saw the grizzly bears, walked the trails, and just enjoyed the fresh air. Everything felt so peaceful and beautiful. Totally worth the trip, and I’d definitely go again!

Grouse Mountain was a great disappointment to me. I was expecting breathtaking mountain scenery like what you see in Banff Alberta but to be fair the weather wasn’t great that day- it was rainy and foggy the whole time, which really limited the views. To be honest, I didn't feel like I got to experience the mountain's natural beauty, I don’t even think there was any mountain The Gondola ride was just there never got a chance to experience lumberjack show, the wildlife viewing was limited to just 2 grizzly bears. Considering the high price point, I felt like It didn’t worth the hype. Maybe I will have to visit when the weather is better to appreciate this place.

I visited Grouse Mountain National Park recently, and it turned into quite an unexpected adventure. The day started with an unplanned downpour, heavy rain combined with poor visibility and strong winds meant most of the attractions were closed. Honestly, they should have halted ticket sales on a day like this, because literally everything was shut except for a few core offerings. When I arrived, only the gondola was operational, which thankfully gave some beautiful views despite the fog. The main restaurant was open, and I did get to see the bears in their enclosure, which was a highlight. The rest of the activities and shows — the lumberjack show stage, zipline, hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, wildlife talks, and chairlifts were closed due to weather conditions. Even the secondary eateries and shops were shuttered. One important tip: check the weather forecast before visiting. Grouse Mountain offers a range of outdoor experiences, but rain and wind can shut down almost all of them. On a clear day, you can easily spend 3–4 hours exploring everything from hiking trails to ziplining, grizzly bear viewing, dining, and panoramic mountain scenery. I just wish they had been more upfront about the closures instead of charging full price. Parking isn’t free, so plan for that in your budget. Even with the closures and weather challenges, riding the gondola up and seeing the bears made it a memorable trip. On a sunny day, I’m sure it would be absolutely spectacular. ** They have Starbucks on site ** During rain, Gondola glass gets foggy and drops don’t slide down - there’s literally no visibility to the scenery outside.

Great moderate hike. It’s essentially a couple miles of stairs but that makes for a great workout. I drank a couple bottles of water (1.5 l). I saw a guy who looked in distress and gave him some water. There’s also a water station in the gondola center. Very nice views on top. It’s a one way hike. You have to take a different route down or the gondola down. You can get gondola tickets at a discount online. Nice views on top. There’s also a couple of bears you can check out and a zip line. Best to make an appointment for the zip line.

had a great time at grouse mountain. We did the grouse grind (as a beginner took 1h50min). then we ate at the top, walked around, saw the bears and lumberjack show, it was amazing! I was glad the gondola ticket was not too expensive, only $20 per adult (download ticket). I would recommend and would go back here!

Fantastic day out. Three thrills in one 😂😂. The view from the bridge down into the valley are amazing, the only place you cannot stop is on the stairs on or off the bridge. Then follows the tree top walk. This was beautifully lit with twinkle lights. It is a bit of a climb up but well worth it. Then we did the cliff walk which again had fantastic views. The park was prepared for Halloween so the decoration was lovely. Well worth the trip and a free shuttle bus to/from Canada Place.

Such a gorgeous place!! One of my girlfriends and I drove up for a girls weekend and had such a wonderful time visiting the park! We got lucky and had the opportunity to visit while they have all of their Halloween decorations up and it was amazing! Definitely put us in a festive mood. All of my encounters with staff were great, everyone is so friendly and seems happy to be there, and the park is so organized and clean. Definitely worth a visit!

Suspension bridge and park is very beautiful. Easily 2 hours can be spent here. Good part is to see the bridge there is not a lot of walking. It is close to the entrance. Shuttle bus service is cherry on the top. That is the only thing which makes the experience worth the ticket price. If visiting near halloween, it is more decorated. Washrooms and eatery is inside.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is an absolute gem in Vancouver that never fails to take my breath away. I’ve been visiting time and time again, and each visit is more magical than the last. What truly makes this experience special is how accessible it is! everyone can enjoy the stunning views and the thrill of walking above the lush forest canopy. Every second spent there feels like a moment suspended in time, filled with awe and wonder. Whether it’s the gentle sway of the bridge or the peaceful sounds of nature all around, Capilano offers a perfect escape where unforgettable memories are made.

We had an amazing time visiting the Capilano Suspension Bridge! The views are breathtaking, and the bridge walk is both thrilling and peaceful. The grounds are well-maintained, clean, and beautifully landscaped, perfect for photos and family outings. The staff is friendly and helpful, and everything is very well-organized. A special thanks to Dr. Basil at Riverside Chiropractic Clinic and Massage, who recommended this must see destination it did not disappoint! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Vancouver!

I absolutely loved this place. We went on an extremely pouring rainy day and it was still lovely. I can imagine it is busy during high tourist times. I'm glad we went early and during the rain. Much less people. We got to enjoy all the bridges. Walk amongst all the giant trees. Staff were helpful, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. It's kinda pricy however people need to understand the sheer amount of maintenance it takes to keep up a place like this. To keep it clean, to maintain all the wooden bridges and structures you walk on, to keep that shuttle bus free etc. Their souvenir shop was priced just as other gifts shops in Vancouver. I could've stayed all day here, even in the rain but alas the last bus leaves at 5pm.

The place is amazing. I really had a lot of fan. I was there close to Halloween, and the park was fully decorated. Everything very cleaned and organised. It's definitely worth to visit. There is a free shuttle that leaves Canada Place and stop on different hotels along the way.
