 The
World Famous Suspension Bridge
Capilano Suspension
Bridge is one of Vancouver,
British Columbia's most popular tourist attractions. The reason
is simple, there are so many things to see and do! Just minutes
from the bustle of downtown
Vancouver, Capilano Suspension Bridge offers a unique mix of
adventure, history and culture making this Vancouver tourist
attraction a complete British Columbia experience and an
essential on your list of things to do in Vancouver, BC
Conveniently located 10 minutes from downtown Vancouver through
Stanley Park over Lions Gate
Bridge and north 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) on Capilano Road.
From the Trans-Canada Highway heading west, take the Capilano
Road exit (#14) and travel north 0.8 kilometres (half a mile.)
Easily accessible by transit: from downtown Vancouver ride the
Seabus and take #236 to Capilano Suspension Bridge.
 Treetops
Adventure is the newest of Capilano Suspension Bridge's
attractions and the first venue of its kind in North America,
offering a squirrel's eye view of a thriving coastal forest.
Visitors venture from one magnificent Douglas fir tree to
another on a series of elevated suspension bridges, some
reaching as high as 100 feet (30m) above the forest floor.
Guided nature tours and the Kids' Rainforest Explorer program
are some of the activities that enhance this unique rainforest
encounter. Recognized for extraordinary innovation with national
and provincial tourism and engineering awards, a walk on
Treetops Adventure has emerged as one of Vancouver's
quintessential activities.
The Suspension Bridge spans 450 feet across and 230 feet above
North Vancouver's spectacular Capilano River. But don't worry,
even though it sways and creaks, it's very, very strong. Strong
enough to support the weight of ten heavy-duty military fighter
planes. Strong enough to handle the 850,000 visitors each year.
Even strong enough to handle a classroom full of kindergarten
students! Walking across the Bridge, you will cross over
Capilano River and enter the spectacular "wild side" which
features the Living Forest display. |
