Explore the Capilano Suspension Bridge
North Vancouver, British Columbia
Description
Added by Ian Tyley
This unique suspension bridge offers scenic forest views just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
This is a great place to visit to get a feeling for the outdoors of Canada. The bridge is a little scary when a lot of people are walking across, but it is well worth the look.
Measuring 140 m (460 ft) long, the bridge crosses over the Capilano River in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and sits 70 m (230 ft) above the river.

Extremely busy when I visited. Hard to get photos of the bridge itself because of this, but it’s still a fun time. Great for all ages, I would highly recommend going at night when they have their lights outlining the trees. Absolutely stunning.

We have been a couple times, we find it only good the first one or two visits. Be sure to visit around Christmas when they decorate the place with tons of beautiful lights and decorations!

Iconic stop when in Vancouver. It can get crowded but it's similar to seeing the other landmarks

Beautiful views, I think it's one of the longest suspension bridges in the world? It was pretty cool to walk on. Only downside is it is pretty popular and kinda pricey.

It was a little expensive. Very beautiful scenes but there was a good amount of people. There is a canyon with a suspension bridge to the east that is free and was very beautiful as well.

You might be a little hesitant to pay the price (show your student ID for some solid discounts), but it's definitely worth it if you can avoid the crowds. We went on a cloudy day, and it added to the mood really nicely and made for some cool shots.

A bit expensive but a very cool place! Try to go in the off season and on a rainy day that way there will be significantly a lot less people in the park!

This place is very cool and the ticket is worth it if you are a BC resident because you can get an annual pass for the ticket price. The place is waaaay too crowded on weekends however, and I would say that Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is cooler. However, Capilano suspension Bridge and the park is still pretty awesome and worth checking out! Best to come when it is pouring rain or on a weekday when less tourists are around.

I highly anticipated visiting here on my second vacation to BC because of all the breathtaking photographs I've seen of this place. However, unless you go there first thing in the morning, it becomes incredibly crowded and not as enjoyable. We walked all of the surrounding trails, including the tree-top bridges where we ran into a quite annoying bunch of teens that thought it amusing to jump on each bridge, scaring my friend. I wish there were more employees to deter this behavior. Perhaps I would visit again if there were less people, but I don't think it would be worth it any other time of day. I will have to say though, as someone from out of town, I was very satisfied with the gift shop selections and I'm not much of a souvenir person. I got a much needed pair of gloves and hat that felt authentic to Canadian style without being overtly so.

Slightly over-hyped in my opinion but if you're in Vancouver area this is still a place you should see at least once. Don't get me wrong, this is a stunning bridge and area but the cost and crowds can be less than ideal. If anything, aim to be there first thing in the morning.
