If you've seen a picture of Vancouver, then you've seen the iconic sails of Canada Place. There is a theater in the back that plays a film called FlyOver Canada that might be worth checking out. You also get a great view of the North Shore from here as well.

The seawall actually wraps all the way around Stanley Park, halfway around downtown, around False Creek (right past our place!), to Granville Island and beyond. Awesome for a bike ride, jog or a really long walk. A must do activity in Vancouver.

Parks & Nature
An amazing array of gardens, a bird sanctuary and even some pitch and putt and a frisbee golf course! Or as we call it: frolf. You get an epic view of the city and mountains from this vantage point. You can also get a nice tour of some quaint Vancouver houses if you walk here from our home. Go in between Main and Cambie St. on your way up to see some huge historic homesteads.

My old stomping grounds! I grew up in Lynn Valley and have fond memories of freaking out tourists by shaking the suspension bridge as they tried to walk across. Unlike the Capilano Suspension Bridge, this one is free and has a nice little hike after you cross.
