We headed here on a Sunday morning and it was very quiet. We ended up upgrading our tickets for a few bucks each to "premiere" seats.

I thoroughly enjoyed these seats and would happily get the upgrades again in the future. I had no complaints about the picture or sound quality of the movie and the theater was at a good temperature.

This is nothing special and would be more impressive if it were a live tree that was still flourishing whilst being hollow. There is a metal substructure holding the wood together and upright. It's a remnant of the past & a dead upright lower trunk of a tree. You can see trees of this size in the redwood forests in California and maybe even the large spruces in the Hoh Rainforest. Granted it's been around since grass began to grow (more than 700+ years old) but I feel like it's nothing but a place for free photos op. It was slightly nice to read the informational placard nearby dealing with the history of the tree and how it's always been a tourist destination because apparently people don't see big trees often.

It is SO overused, and often it is used so loosely and inappropriately, that it has lost a lot of its true meaning. We've become somewhat numb to what the word is supposed to mean because it's thrown about so often in describing people and things that, while they might be really swell, they are by no means "iconic". That said, this inukshuk sculpture truly IS iconic. It is THE iconic sculpture and signature piece that, if one had to choose ONE symbol or work that represented the City of Vancouver, this would be it. Proudly standing on a grassy outpost of land overseeing the Burrard Inlet, just to the west of the seawall, halfway. between Sunset Beach and English Bay, this Inukshuk sculpture rises tall, like a monarch on her throne overseeing her realm. This massive granite piece is extremely popular with city residents and tourists alike, and I always see people taking photos of it and by it, regardless of the weather or time of day (it's particularly striking at sunrise and sunset, but at dusk, when it's illuminated by its footlights, it's spectacular! I like how it's illuminated by different colored lights at various nightly festivals during the year). One of the reasons that it's so majestic is its setting, right by the water. In my opinion, this is one of the most successful pairings of artwork to context ever, as its setting here on the water by the seawall at English Bay could not have been more perfect. I see one reviewer gave this landmark a mediocre review due to the fencing erected around the work during the annual fireworks celebration, noting he could not get up close to the sculpture due to the barrier. To this I say, get over it! I applaud the City for protecting this iconic, precious sculpture and appreciating its worth and value by preserving it as best they can. If that means putting fencing up around it a few nights out of the year, so be it. Better that then having it defaced by graffiti or climbed upon by drunken revelers during some nights when there are thousands and thousands of party-goers in this area. I applaud the City for protecting this sculpture in this way. Vancouver has a lot of wonderful artwork to showcase, and this particular work represents and pays homage to much of the City's cultural history and values. Truly not-to-be-missed!

It's a large area on the harbor, anchored by the cruise terminal, the convention center, the Pan Pacific hotel ($$$$), the Fairmont Hotel ($$$$) across the street, a broad boardwalk with benches along the harbor, the iconic Vancouver sign, and shopping. It was very relaxing to watch seaplanes taking off and landing on the harbor while trying to get a glimpse of marine creatures in the water. We weren't too successful on the latter pursuit. We knew where to check-in the following day, and again where to disembark from the ship later. Unfortunately, for how well the area appears to be designed, there are significant bottlenecks that contribute to VERY slow moving lines, especially when thousands of passengers are disembarking from the ship. You're forced to walk up along narrow pathways near the parking garage. It's a fairly long distance, without accessibility features, and passengers are three-deep in width inching their ways out with their suitcases. Our plan was to take an Uber from the terminal to our hotel (less than a mile away) but decided to wait in a covered spot for the crowds to dissipate and for the rain to lighten.

Despite being under major construction, there was a nice wide bicycle lane, a raised pedestrian walkway and enough room for automobiles, too. The bridge is a steel truss style, built between 1930 and 1932. It is marked with the coat of arms of Vancouver, "by sea and land we prosper". I think that's cool.

And the Burrard is my favorite by far! It's like the grand dame of the three, for sure! The bridge is stately, of cream-colored concrete, and has a lot of Art Deco flourishes. There are galleries on high for viewing and various architectural embellishments. Underneath the bridge are potted plantings by local gardeners.. What I most enjoy is the view! As soon as I cross under the bridge, I am greeted by the most spectacular view of Kits' Jerico Beach across False Creek, Sunset Beach straight ahead, and water opening up to the ocean, with mountains serving as a majestic backdrop. It's just breathtaking. My goal is to walk the Burrard Bridge sometime in the next month. My family and I walked the Granville Bridge, and the views from on high were stunning. I'm sure those from the Burrard are, too!
