Capilano Suspension Bridge

Pricey but very unique experience. But hey, you’re already in Vancouver – when will you be there again? It’s a beautiful park with a long and rich history. The main suspension bridge has been there for decades and over the years they’ve added numerous other suspension walkways and engineering marvels of walkways hanging over nothingness. Lush flora and fauna abound throughout the park and is accompanied by the sound of rushing water through the gorge.  The recommendation is to go early in the day or later in the afternoon to avoid heavy crowds. We arrived about 2 hours before closing which was just about the perfect amount of time for us. To get there, you can pick up a free shuttle from very near the Canada Place Welcome Centre in downtown Vancouver. Bonus tip: rather than shuttling back downtown afterwards, pick up public transit bus 236 to Lonsdale Quay at the bus stop right next to the shuttle pick up. Gives a more local perspective and terminates at Longsdale Quay where there are restaurants, shopping and a fabulous view of downtown Vancouver. When you’re finished, you can pick up the Sea Bus (near where the bus line terminates) back to downtown which is also pretty cool for those who, like me, don’t often have the opportunity to ride in water taxis.

Amazing experience, for those who hate heights this may not be for you. It’s safe to walk just a bit of swaying under your feet if everyone is on one side of the bridge walking. Beware this is the most congested part of the experience but once you cross it disperses. The hand rails and bridge are sturdy enough to support you but the walk on the bridge will make you feel otherwise. Amazing views from the bridge and canopy walk. Fresh air and birds to enjoy. The cliff walk is wild but great experience as well. Between the bridge and the cliff I’d say the cliff was the sturdiest part of the trip. If you get the chance get the tickets in advance and early morning. The trees protect from most of the heat and there is a cool breeze under the trees. Recommend the Chocolate Treetop ice cream on the summer days. Nice refreshing treat to end the experience before going back across the bridge. Stop by for lunch at the Loggers Grill near the trade shop. The Salmon Burger tasted fresh and was juicy. Tried poutine for the first time with the cheese curds and gravy. Solid experience 👌🏼

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park Located in beautiful North Vancouver, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is one of the region’s most iconic attractions and a place well worth visiting—especially if you enjoy nature, unique viewpoints, and a bit of adventure. Parking is available on-site, which makes access fairly convenient if you’re driving. The park also offers senior and military discounts, a thoughtful gesture that helps offset what is otherwise a fairly steep admission price. While the entry fee is undeniably high—and items for sale inside the park can also be quite expensive—the good news is that your admission includes access to all the attractions within the park, so once you’re inside there’s plenty to explore. The highlight is, of course, the famous suspension bridge stretching across the Capilano River, offering incredible views and a thrilling walk above the canyon. Beyond the bridge, the park includes several other experiences like treetop walkways and cliffside paths that make the visit feel like a full outdoor adventure rather than just a single attraction. There are excellent opportunities for photos throughout the park, from forest scenery to dramatic viewpoints. Inside, you’ll also find a very charming gift shop with souvenirs and locally themed items. One aspect that really stands out is the educational component. Throughout the park, informative displays and interpretive signs teach visitors about the local rainforest ecosystem, wildlife, and conservation efforts. It’s engaging for younger visitors but still interesting for adults. If you can look past the price tag, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park delivers a memorable experience in a stunning natural setting. 🌲📸

An absolute must-do in Vancouver! Crossing the bridge is amazing, but the Treetops Adventure and the Cliffwalk were actually my favorite parts. Walking among the giant Douglas firs feels like being in a movie. It’s well-maintained, the staff is super friendly, and the free shuttle from downtown makes it so easy to visit. Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and get the best photos!

This place is always a great spot to visit! We first came last year for the Christmas lights and received an annual pass when we bought our admission. Today, we visited the Love Lights around 3:30 p.m., and they were absolutely gorgeous. Another bonus was that it was not crowded at all. We also did a nature tour with Bruce, and he was an incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and great guy to chat with. Even though we grew up in the Greater Vancouver area, Bruce had so much knowledge that we would have never known about. Thanks for making our experience even better!
