I came for Sunday branch. Around $15 is a reasonable price. The taste is ok, and the service is also good. The soup and coffee is really great!
Frank L — Google review
Small casino. Buffet was ok. Too noisy, place smells like smoke. If it wasn't the good service from our server, I would have given a 1 star.
Joe O — Google review
This casino needs better machines and make it a smoke free not to mention has only one bar and one all you can eat restaurant. They need to add 3 more different restaurants. I would not go visit again.
Maria M — Google review
Way too smoky and the food was not good except the clam chowder. I was shocked how bad the smoke was and it was mostly empty. They need a decent ventilation system or no smoking at all. The French dip was disappointing, not much meat that was very dry with big chunks of fat. It was $19 and came with decent fries but not worth the price plus the smell of smoke was so gross.
Sunny — Google review
The buffet has a very good variety most of the time. On the weekend when they do all you can eat crab and you have to almost beg to get them to refill the hot crab and some of the other items. The staff wait until they’re empty and then take a long time to refill them after they are empty. Please be proactive and not reactive!!! The biggest complaint is that the ICE CREAM MACHINE has been broken for a year, plus and although they promised last year to have it fixed. It is still not been fixed or replaced given its apparent age. It’s an important and fun part of the buffet. It needs to be replaced immediately!!!

Nice casino to just chill and gamble. Unlike others that attract the wrong crowd and have to look who's around you. Employees are super nice and always helpful. I only wish that they would be open 24 hrs on weekends.

Loomis is a beautiful golf course! Even though it will eat you alive (they are not kidding about water in play in every hole), the setting is so peaceful and serene. Now that I have my first round there under my belt, I expect to score better next time!
Mary B — Google review
Very reasonably priced with a lot of Canadians. Course drains pretty well overall. Not a ton of elevation change, but rolling fairways. The course is beautiful in a not articulate way The clubhouse is huge and pretty nice inside, unlike the outside look.
Jong L — Google review
4.5 stars if I could.. Very nice course...not up to resort standards today due to the pandemic...I think. Nice track with lots if sand traps and even more water Hazzards...bring extra balls if ur nit so great at target golf. I am a 6 hcp...shot 83 from the blues...easy to get into trouble.

First time heading down to the states since 'last year'. Canadian rates for golf, exceptional staff, and the golf course, even for August, is immaculate. Can't wait to go back.
Mike P — Google review
A hidden gem of a course just across the border in Blaine. I played it in late December, 2024 and the course was welcoming for Canadians to take our currency too The drainage at the course was great as even though it was a continuous rain, there were no major puddles/issues. Challenging course that I would definitely look to play again down the road

What a wonderful course. First time I have played there and I was not disappointed.

First time playing here, Nice golf course, good layout, plenty of water and bunkers to keep your attention. The greens were rolling as well as anything I've played all summer, every putt had a chance.
Cliff N — Google review
Such a fun and challenging course, and the friendliest staff at any course in whatcom county. If you are considering a visit I would check it out while they have their discount rates through July. I have been forgoing my usual courses and playing here more than ever to take advantage of the deal.

Greater Vancouver Zoo

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Zoo
Outdoor Activities
The Greater Vancouver Zoo, sprawling across 120 acres, is a long-standing establishment that houses a diverse array of wildlife, with approximately 140 species in its care. Many of the animals have been rescued, donated, or orphaned. Visitors can encounter an impressive range of creatures such as lions, flamingos, cheetahs, grizzly bears, and hippos.
A great experience for the whole family! We really enjoyed our visit to the Greater Vancouver Zoo. The animals looked well cared for and had plenty of space, and the walking paths were clean and easy to follow. The highlights for us were the giraffes, lions, and the safari-style enclosures. Renting the golf cart made it even more fun and convenient to explore the entire park. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there were lots of spots for snacks and rest. Highly recommended for a relaxing day surrounded by nature and wildlife!
Negaresh N — Google review
Had a great time at the zoo with friends and family. The food prices at the Oasis Cafe are steep and for what you pay the food is nothing fantastic or memorable. Burgers are anywhere from $16-$18, small fries are $5.75 and large fries are $7.75. It is better to pack your own food that you want and like. The train and the bouncy castles weren't operational either which was disappointing. My little girl was really looking forward to seeing both in action. The animals were great and the grounds staff were busy at work.
Christian M — Google review
First time visiting the Vancouver Zoo, and it was better than I thought! We were able to see lots of animals, and they all looked happy and relaxed. I highly recommend joining some of the spotlight programs, as they were free and educational. The safari cycles rent out very quickly, so if you want to try them, it’s best to rent early. It took us about 3 hours as adults to walk through the entire zoo. The only improvement I would suggest is for the zoo to have more water dispensers inside.
Furu H — Google review
Wonderful afternoon checking out the Zoo. Well maintained with plenty of friendly hard working staff. Hippo, Giraffes, Siberian tigers, Elk, Reindeer, Lions, Grizzlies...and plenty more including a delightful mass of flamingos in full zen modes. And a Jurassic park like area full of animatronic dinosaurs and raptors. Spectacular for the kiddies. Screams of excitement and a little fear filled the air as the Dino's roared and shook all around. Must see for locals and a great place to take visitors. A little pricey but worth it. We are from the lower mainland and decided to buy annual pass so that we can many more times. Check it out. It is a wonderful walk and eye opener to the World beyond our urban lifestyles.
Gian C — Google review
Great Family Day at Greater Vancouver Zoo! We had a wonderful time at the Greater Vancouver Zoo! It was a fun and relaxing day with family — especially the excitement of spotting hidden animals like the red panda and snow leopard. 🐼❄️ The zoo is very family-friendly with plenty of picnic tables and clean washrooms available throughout. It’s a great place to spend quality time with family and kids of all ages. One small suggestion: it would be nice to have more food options available inside the zoo for visitors who don’t bring their own meals. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting at least once! 🌿🦓🐘

First time in the zoo and we had such a great experience! We followed the schedule to meet sone animals and it was so worthy. My kids loved it! They also have a very nice Dinosaur area! Kids have playground and big bounce castles! There is food, ice cream, and very affordable store to buy souvenirs!
Jhes — Google review
Today we visited the zoo for the first time and I’m really happy with the overall experience. We saw many animals. the most interesting thing I enjoyed to ride the critter cruiser. Zoo was very neat and clean. It was fun 🤩
Riddhi P — Google review
Zoo was fun, worth renting the bicycle or little cars. The weather in this area is extremely unpredictable we visited in July and it was so windy and chilly we had to buy sweaters at the gift shop. I was happy they had little cafe to get food. Not as much animals as I expected but I also understand it costs a lot to maintain and feed many. The back in time exhibit with the dinosaurs was our favorite. For the administration of the zoo ,I see a lot of land space so maybe you guys can team up with some agriculture school to start some gardens to help self sustain or reach out to the Government for some funding. Just some suggestions but I'm sure you're trying the best you can.

Krause Berry Farms & Estate Winery

Farm
Sights & Landmarks
Krause Berry Farms & Estate Winery is a delightful destination that offers an array of experiences for visitors of all ages. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Langley, this farm and vineyard invites you to indulge in wine tastings while enjoying the beauty of their pick-your-own fields. Known for cultivating some of the juiciest berries in the Lower Mainland, Krause Berry Farms also tempts your taste buds with a delectable vanilla whipped cream cake layered with fresh berries.
We visited Krause Berry Farms on a sunny day, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. While we didn’t do the strawberry picking, we came for what they’re just as famous for—the waffles topped with fresh strawberries, and they did not disappoint! The waffles were crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and generously topped with sweet local berries and cream. We enjoyed them outdoors with a gentle breeze and scenic farm views—such a relaxing and feel-good experience. The whole place had a charming countryside vibe, with outdoor seating, families, and a welcoming, festive atmosphere.
Highly recommended for a casual farm visit, even if you’re just there to eat and soak up the sun.
Mano R — Google review
We had such an amazing time at the farm today :) It does get quite busy, especially on Sundays, so I definitely recommend going early. And whatever you do, don’t skip the waffles.. they were absolutely delicious 😁 The farm market was fantastic as well. We picked up some fresh fruit, and everything tasted incredible. The berries we picked ourselves were hands-down the best! Everyone working at the farm was so kind and welcoming. If you’re looking for a fun day out, this place is a must-visit 🥰
Atian M — Google review
This place is absolutely fantastic! I wasn't expecting the fact that you can spend time there doing so many different things... first and obvious thing is berry pick up. Lots and lots of berries to choose from, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. People grab buckets ona fixed price and they can load them until the berries fit. If you're not familiar, staff is always nice and available to help you with directions. Then there is the market, where you can buy lots of local products, mainly handmade with the same local berries. There is also a place where you can seat and eat, plus the winery with live music inside. The winery is so special... carefully designed and organized in an old ranch-style, with nice displays of wine bottles and other cool furniture. An old guy, Ted, was super nice and friendly, beautifully dressed up and very kind with every guests, helping them to choose the best wine. Absolutely a must go location, ideal for people of all ages, families, couples or friends groups to enjoy a nice afternoon. Suggested to go when it's not too hot as it is obviously a wide open space outdoor when doing the berries pick up. Highly recommended. Thank you!! 😀
Alessandro S — Google review
I really liked this farm! It was our first time doing a U-pick for strawberries, and we really enjoyed it. The strawberries were so sweet, and it’s easy to pick them since there are plenty even at the end of the day. We also tried the pancakes, wine, and lemonade — everything was delicious. At the market, I bought coffee with strawberry flavor for $8 and 6 ears of corn for $5. The corn was really sweet too! Highly recommend visiting this place with family and friends. 🍓🌽🥞
Kateryna S — Google review
This was my second year visiting Krause Berry Farms & Estate Winery, and it was just as great as the first! You can easily spend the whole day here, from picking fresh blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries and wandering through the beautiful flower gardens to enjoying a relaxing coffee break. The local wine flight and the corn pizza in is absolutely delicious, especially when followed by their famous waffle for dessert. The live music adds such a lovely atmosphere. Before you leave, don’t miss the charming local shop, we picked up a fresh pie and some unique handmade crafts to take home. A perfect spot for a fun, relaxing, and flavorful day out!
Radman S — Google review
I had a great experience at Krause Berry Farms. I usually come back a few times each summer for berry picking. On Sept 12 the strawberries were still good, though blackberries were low. The berries are always fresh and sweet. I love their custard pie jar and the no-sugar raspberry jam, finished it in two days! The slushies are refreshing, but the hot food is overpriced and a bit disappointing.

We had the most wonderful morning/afternoon at Krause Berry Farm. And the corn pizza and raspberry waffles for lunch were 10 stars. Bought several frozen pizzas to take home, along with pounds of blueberries and strawberries! And of course I bought their beautiful cookbook! We will return to Krause Berry Farm again soon!

Among its charming attractions is a whimsical fairy garden hidden within the towering trees, captivating both children and the young at heart with its ever-growing collection of tiny fairy houses.
A place we visit often - beautiful park and love the fairy garden. Family and stroller friendly. Lots of parking and hard to get lost. Last time we went we did come across a few very muddy areas with no ways around so don't bring nice shoes and bring a extra pair of socks. Of course to be expected since it outdoors but has been many times and never had the issue so we're underprepared.

Absolutely beautiful park packed with Redwoods and other amazing trees. Well maintained and very peaceful. Great place to bring the kids to expend energy as there is a play area as well as a fairy village. There are relatively clean and accessible public washrooms but they are quiet old. Great sheltered seating areas for those short notice showers or BBQ sunny days.
Gareth G — Google review
Short 10-15 min trails makes a decent stroll with toddlers, strollers, and seniors. There are multiple picnic areas depending on what context you're going for: by the playground, own larger field, views, etc. The diversity of tall trees in the park makes an interesting walk. Other highlights: Meadows, treehouse, stroller/wheelchair access playground feature, vast bird house displays. We'd come here again for the picnic and stroll.
Angel A — Google review
Went for a walk here with my husky today. All around beautiful, nice clean well maintained bathrooms, a huge plus. Playground looks nice, I'm sure my kids will love it when I take them next time. Trails were nice, albeit a tad covered in debris and I was hoping it would be a bit bigger to navigate around. But all around really enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

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 .

We usually go to this park a lot years ago. When we come back there again, it's changing a lot but it's getting better. A big playground had built. It's good for kids. The green area is smaller than before. The small concession was gone. The water is so clear and the new soft sand in the beach for good for all. If you plan go to there in summer, you better go early morning to get the parking spot. There are 6 portable washrooms in the park. The washrooms in the centre are still open. The calm lake are perfect for all water sports.

This nice lake is located in Maple ridge which is just 15 min drive from our house. It is really great for family outdoor fun, and the water gets warm in the end if May, great for small children. Has picnic tables, washrooms, and really nice playground which is a big + ! Be aware that parking lot gets full really fast on the weekend, the best time to arrive is between 9 am- 10 am. Or after 4 pm

Enjoyed a beautiful sunny day surrounded by beautiful white lilies at this pretty lake! Paddleboarding was a delightful experience, and the beach with its playground added a nice touch. While swimming isn't ideal due to some grass in the water, limited free parking can be a minor inconvenience

If you’re after a laid-back day by a clean lake with easy water access and picnic options, Whonnock Lake is a solid choice.

Wonderful place to go and spend time with friends and family! LOVE IT Peaceful, awesome nature with friendly visitors. Can organize birthday parties with friends and family with yummy food. Sand beach for soccer or volleyball. If you like fishing or swimming go for it. You have paddle board or any kind of watercraft like kayak or canoe even better.

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.

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.

Parking and small cafe with food options and different drinks. Sometimes you can meet weird noisy families who don’t respect others.

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!

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 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.

The BC Ferries Tsawwassen Terminal offers more than just a gateway to the ocean. Situated on a stunning land spit that extends into the water, it provides a unique vantage point of the surrounding city and sea. Reserving tickets in advance is recommended, especially during peak times like summer weekends. The terminal features comfortable seating, desk cubicles for laptops, and even a shop with quality items.
Got on my ferry to Victoria from here, pretty cool experience. The ride was about an hour and we didn't really buy anything on the ferry like food or merch or anything but it was really fun regardless. The wind at the top of the ferry is something to behold and the engine makes my voice sound all robotic, truly amazing. I do recommend the experience not gonna lie...

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….

Great Canadian Casino Vancouver, located in Coquitlam, offers a performance theatre with over 1,000 seats where visitors can enjoy a variety of acts including music and comedy. The casino also features slot machines and poker tables.
We came to the casino to go to see Queensryche. Stopped in first for a meal, and played a few machines. The casino is clean, smoke free and easy to navigate. Really good sized parking garage attached for easy to find parking. The best, for me, was the theater! A true stadium style seating theater makes for amazing concerts. We had great seats for a great view and the sound was spot on. We will definitely be watching the line up for other music we'd like to see because we really enjoyed the venue.

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.

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.

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

The Giggle Dam Dinner Theatre offers a unique experience of unfussy Canadian meals accompanied by interactive musical comedy performances and an 8-piece band. It's a great spot for a night out with family or a date, featuring funny and entertaining shows with harmonious singing. The circus show is particularly impressive, followed by enjoyable live music. The venue provides great drink options and delicious food catering to all tastes, despite some changes due to COVID-19.
This place is pure gold!! Everything they do is amazing, I’ve not seen it so consistently done. They play their roles the whole show with soul and pizzaz, the energy is on point. Wow, what a great place! Well ran, very organized, amazing service and the food is great! The drink menu is perfect, with lots of offerings and quick service but the overall continuity is impressive. The actors are a very talented bunch. I’m so impressed by them, I want to go back weekly and take everyone I know there. Fabulous crew.

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.

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...

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.

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 !
Mel W — Google review
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.

If you are looking to enjoy wildlife and nature, this is a fantastic spot. With $8 admission for adults and a $2 bag of seeds (all tax included), proceeds go to conservation effort and you will have a fun day feeding various birds here. In order to ensure you have space for parking, please book up to 3 days in advance per vehicle for the morning or afternoon slot. The attendant at the gift shop appreciates visitors who make advance parking reservations at no additional cost. Make sure to dress appropriately as there are sections where the marshlands attract a lot of mosquitoes and can become a nuisance if you stay too long. If you want to support local tourism and conservation, come on over.

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.
Matt F — Google review
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.

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden

Mentioned on 
+80 other lists 
Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, located in Vancouver's historic Chinatown neighborhood, is a serene urban park designed according to Taoist principles. Crafted by 53 Chinese master craftsmen, this garden is a replica of a classical Ming Dynasty Chinese scholars' garden and the first of its kind outside of China. The garden features carefully arranged water, plants, and rocks shipped from China to create an authentic experience.
Quiet & lovely garden in the center of the city. Scavenger hunt for kiddos, plenty of lush bamboo & maples, old bonsai trees & koi ponds. Cafe had neat original artwork for sale. Live classical Chinese musician played in the courtyard and incense wafted while we explored and played with the Buddha boards. Free tea samples and awesome gift shop. Definitely worth it. Easy location too, fun walking around Chinatown.
Ms A — Google review
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.
Alyssa B — Google review
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.
Ani R — Google review
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!!
Sara C — Google review
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.
Neda F — Google review
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 🙏🏻

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Gastown Steam Clock, located in Vancouver's oldest commercial district, is a well-known antique-style clock powered by steam and whistles to tell the time. Built in 1977 by Canadian clockmaker Raymond Saunders, it was intended to attract foot traffic to nearby shops and restaurants. Despite its name, the clock also has an electric motor and isn't entirely steam-powered.
This city is truly magical, filled with stunning architecture and vibrant culture. Its streets are alive with energy, showcasing a blend of history and modernity that captivates every visitor. From the charming cafes lining the bustling boulevards to the lush parks providing a serene escape, every corner holds a marvel waiting to be discovered.

Overall, Vancouver is a place that leaves a lasting impression, offering an experience that is nothing short of remarkable.
Sophie R — Google review
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.
Bàng L — Google review
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!
Rahul B — Google review
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.
Vijay T — Google review
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.
Avais S — Google review
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.

Without a doubt, it’s something you shouldn’t miss during your visit to Vancouver!
Alicia R — Google review
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.
James P — Google review
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.

Super interactive, exciting and fun experience! A must see in Vancouver. Beautiful sights of the city all around and lots of interesting, informative posts present showcasing the different attractions, monuments, green spaces and history of the city with some even outside of the city too! Also, when you go up the elevator to the main area you get to see the city through the windows which amplifies the experience.

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.
Peter L — Google review
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.
Tracey G — Google review
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.
Nazgol — Google review
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.
Tessa C — Google review
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

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.

FlyOver Canada is a unique 4D simulation flight entertainment experience that takes you on a virtual journey from the east coast to the west coast of Canada. You'll be immersed in the sights and sounds of Canada, including the serene starry sky of the Canadian Arctic Circle and the mesmerizing green aurora above the clouds. As you 'fly,' you'll soar over forest waterfalls, touch icebergs, and even catch whiffs of tree fragrance and water mist.
Absolutely highly recommended to try this experience! A small trick: if someone in your group has a BC driver’s license, their tickets will be discounted. The experience starts with a 5-8 minute film in the special room, that’s kind of a First Nation acknowledgment. After that, you’ll be led to a special cinema hall with vertical rows and a huge sphere-like screen. Believe me, this flying experience feels totally real! And the spring water, in particular moment, makes it even better. It’s definitely breathtaking!

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.

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.

Brockton Point Totem Pole

Mentioned on

Park
Sights & Landmarks
When exploring Stanley Park in Vancouver, the Brockton Point Totem Poles stand out as a captivating highlight. This remarkable collection of intricately carved totem poles, crafted from red cedar, showcases the rich indigenous heritage of British Columbia. Originally established in the 1920s at a different site within the park, these stunning artworks have since been relocated to their current home at Brockton Point, where they continue to draw visitors.
There's a collection of 9 totem poles in this area. Each has a plaque providing details about the pole. Well worth a stop to admire the carvings by indigenous artists and the histories of these poles. They are replicas and replacements of the original totems which are housed in museums for preservation or returned to their places of origin. There's also a Visitor Centre.

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!

The moment I stepped onto the iconic bridge, the views of the lush green canyon and the feeling of being suspended high above the river were absolutely thrilling. I loved exploring every part of the park. Besides the main suspension bridge, the Cliffwalk takes you along a glass-bottomed walkway with stunning perspectives of the forest floor. The Treetops Adventure is another highlight, with a series of mini bridges strung between massive old-growth trees—perfect for anyone wanting to feel like they're walking among the treetops! There are also captivating nature trails, kid-friendly activities, and fascinating educational exhibits throughout the grounds. The food on site was excellent, especially after a bit of adventure! I enjoyed a tasty meal at the cafe, and the gift shop was loaded with unique souvenirs. The customer service was top-notch—staff were friendly, informative, and really added to the welcoming feel of the park. Parking isn’t free, so make note of that, but the convenience is worth it. If you’re coming from downtown Vancouver, don’t miss the free shuttle bus—it’s comfortable, efficient, and perfectly connects with the city’s vibrant energy. Overall, Capilano Suspension Bridge offers an unbeatable mix of excitement, beauty, and great amenities. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting Vancouver, and I can’t recommend it enough!

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.

Grouse Mountain

Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Grouse Mountain, a 1,200-metre peak located just 15 minutes north of downtown Vancouver, is a popular year-round destination offering various outdoor activities. In the winter, visitors can enjoy skiing and snowshoeing on the mountain's well-groomed trails. The Munday Alpine Snowshoe Park features four trails suitable for both beginners and intermediates, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. The staff were welcoming and helpful, providing adequate information and greeting us with friendly smiles. All the shows were impressive, especially the lumberjack show, which I consider the best of the trip. Even though the weather was not so favorable, we still enjoyed it very much. I could see that everyone was thrilled. Thank you to Grouse Mountain for your generosity in offering free tickets to local residents. We truly appreciate it ❤️

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!
