Capilano Suspension Bridge

Very cool place, come early and not only are there no long lines. But the early morning mist and lack of screaming children makes it an almost spiritual experience.

once…it is worth visiting.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge was definitley my favorite place we saw in Vancouver!! So beautiful!

I’m really really really scared of heights, or was when I went here, and so my friends led me across with my eyes closed. I could hear people saying “look at the blind girl.” Little did they know!

I visited the bridge on a Saturday afternoon. I was expecting sizable crowds but we lucked out; it was late enough in the day, and early enough in the season, so we had no trouble making our way across the bridge itself and around the paths and Treetops Adventure attraction.

The entrance fee is steep, C$21.95 for adults. We spent about 90 minutes within the facility, only five minutes of which involved crossing the namesake suspension bridge; the remainder was the Treetops Adventure, the other pathways, and (of course) the requisite visit to the gift shop at the end.

We were given a 20% discount because of construction within the park, a nice surprise especially since the building didn’t affect our visit at all (the construction areas are blocked off but aren’t part of the bridge experience directly). If you visit in the next few weeks, it’s quite likely you’ll receive a similar discount while construction is ongoing.
