Their…read morewebsite said "World Cup 2026 reservations will be charged in advance and are non-cancelable and non-refundable" so I understood one of the nights we booked was non-refundable. However, the website said our first two nights were cancelable and refundable since they were normal nights and they had nothing to do with the World cup dates. Due to my son's illness, I had to eventually cancel well within the required notice period. The owner refused to refund any of my money, even the two refundable nights.

A lovely, tranquil park. It was designated as a federal park, and a $1.00/year lease was drawn up…read more It expired in the late 1990's, but has been renewed into perpetuity. Nice trails that lead to an aquarium and a collection of totem poles ( it was too far for me to walk to the totem poles.) There are many giant red cedar trees, plus some quite large chestnut trees. This was stop 5 on the Hop on Hop off bus ride.

The three of us did a Celebrity post shore excursion after our Alaska cruise ended…read more The excursion was to Stanley Park and Granville Island. Our motorcoach tour drove along the Seawall, and included two stops in the Park both offering photo opportunities - 1) totem poles 2) Prospect Point Bike riding is a popular activity in the park. We were told it'd take an hour to traverse the entire park. There's three beaches according to our tour guide, a playground, and outdoor concerts. After an hour or so in the Park, our tour headed to Granville Island.

We never left them out there without being there with them. We took it down after that and then tied the dogs to a line between the two doors on our trailer. Now we were told we can not do that because of bears. Again we have left our dogs out there without being out there too. I never complained about the dog who barked every morning at 6:30. Or the kid that screamed at all hours three sited down. Or the CONSTANT trims going very near to the park. Do not stay here is you want peace and quiet or want to be left alone.

We were lucky to snag a parking spot Saturday at 5:30 pm here. I love discovering a peaceful oasis…read morein the middle of a city! Trees and lakes keep the air fresh, the noise pollution down and makes you feel like you escaped the city without leaving town. Plenty of people were enjoying the 69 degree weather. Some lounging in their lawn chairs, walking the dogs on the trail or canoeing on the lake. The boardwalk is especially nice for walking, for the structural metal strips keep it bike-free and peaceful. Meanwhile, there are many scenic trails through the trees that cyclists can enjoy. We completed the one hour/2.6 mile loop trail around the lake passing gorgeous heritage homes, a wedding taking place on the festival lawn and people fishing off the docks. Next time, I'm renting a canoe or kayak from the Deer Lake Boat rentals to see the park from a different perspective. Bonus:Parking and the views are free!

On a clear sunny day, this place beats any other concert venue: it's large enough for concert goers of all types to enjoy. You could easily make your way up to get close to the stage, or you could sit down on the lawn and listen to the tunes. Since the lawn tilts at an angle, it's easy to see the stage from almost anywhere, even if you're really far back. There are also a lot of food trucks to get food or drinks from, and there's a water station where you could fill up your water bottle. The only downside of this venue is that it's not very easily accessible by transit and parking is limited on a busy concert evening.

Pretty nice area for walking or biking along the dike trail which extends all the way to Steveston. The park also offers a nice view of Sea Island and YVR.

I haven't been here in ages and was fortunate enough to visit this place again! AMAZING AMAZING…read more AMAZING This place is beautiful and fits in seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The hatchery was built to help with the declining salmon stocks, but it is still a working facility up to this day! On the visitor's side, this is an amazing place to visit, re-visit and bring kids, relatives, and friends. The hatchery is FREE and..... during the right time, preferably fall, you can see juveniles to adults. A lot of them! It is an amazing and wonderful sight to literally see the coho and chinook struggle against the current as they jump up each step to their final resting place. The surrounding water and just watching the salmon is very peaceful and relaxing......at the same time, you want to cheer for each salmon as they make it to the next step! There's benches around the place, washrooms, and a parking. There's also a trail from the Cleveland dam to the hatchery. Salmon Times: Chinook adults (October to November) Coho adults (June to November) Steelhead adults (March to April) Coho juveniles (all year) Chinook juveniles (March to May) I definitely will be back :)

It's a nice, quick place to stop by and learn a bit about the salmon life cycle and the hatchery's conservation efforts. A huge plus is that you don't even need to move your car after visiting--you can head straight out from the hatchery onto the beautiful, peaceful trails throughout Capilano River Regional Park. Definitely worth a quick visit if you're already in the area!

I recently did the Pump Peak hike with my family and we had so much fun!…read more If you can, I recommend doing the hike during the week, it wasn't busy at all, which was ideal since you sometimes need to stop and let others pass when they're coming back down. This hike is definitely on the more challenging side. You don't need a lot of hiking experience to do it, but it might take you a bit longer since there are lots of rocks to climb over. Despite that, I think everyone should try this hike as the view at the top is absolutely gorgeous!

The resort/ski course was closed already (April 17,2021) but you can park your car at their lot…read more We started to hike around 8am and reached the first peak at 11am. As I forgot some tools for snowy trails, it took longer. Trails looks so hard and secure but if your legs were 10cm outer from it, easily your leg would be stuck to knee depth. Very soft snow at side. Follow the orange coloured poles. To get to the peak, you need cross the line "no more poles, hike by own your responsibility".

It is definitely a bit pricey, but the overall experience made it feel well worth it and truly memorable. It was super cool to wander through a temperate rainforest, which was such a fun contrast to the tropical ones we'd visited in Hawaii. The scenery is gorgeous. We were lucky enough to spot a bald eagle out in the wild, and the raptor exhibit let us see owls and falcons up close, which was amazing. If you are looking for a unique, memorable outdoor activity in the area that keeps teens engaged, this is a solid place to check out!

Parking is a challenge and not free. There is a paid parking lot across the street from the entrance to the bridge. Parking is exceptionally challenging during the weekends. I recommend arriving early to avoid the crowds. Parking fee is $9 CAD and is good for up to 3 hours. We paid the entrance window ticket price of $79.95 CAD/person which is around $56 USD/person. The entrance fee includes access to the Suspension Bridge, Treetop Adventures, Cliffwalk, Story Center, Kia'apalno Cultural Area. The Suspension Bridge walk does get busy, and the line does wrap around the walking paths. We waited around 15-20 minutes to cross the suspension bridge. Crossing the bridge is a uniquely terrifying yet beautiful experience. The bridge had a lot of sway and the risk of dropping your phone while taking a selfie is high. The views are definitely worth it. The other side offers a unique experience called The Treetops Adventure. There are 7 smaller suspension bridges 30 meters above the forest floor. We walked around the paths and came across a live presentation on birds of prey. Guests can ask questions about the birds and even take pictures. We made sure to visit the Cliffwalk. This is a narrow-cantilevered walkway made from glass and steel. This walkway is attached to the cliff and overlooks the canyon. The walk also had some great views and I highly recommend getting a safety strap for your phone. Overall, worth the visit. The beautiful views, suspension bridge, and nature walks all work together in making this a unique experience.
