You Gotta Be Here!


Question... What Vancouver attraction is to Vancouver what Disneyland is to Anaheim? What can hold a fully loaded 747 or 96 elephants?

...If you said Capilano Suspension Bridge to both questions you are right!


Not only did they wow us with the Bridge spanning 137 meters and 70 meters above the Capilano River, but then came the Treetops Adventure offering a squirrels eye view of the forest floor 30m below. Now, they just launched the new spectacular CLIFFWALK attraction described as a "heart-stopping cliff-side journey [that] takes guests through rainforest vegetation on a series of unobtrusive cantilevered and suspended walkways jutting out from the granite cliff face above Capilano River to previously unexplored areas of the park.

I was one of the lucky first comers at their Grand Opening Celebration last week and let me tell you it's not for the faint of heart. Its high, narrow and in some sections, glass (very strong glass albeit) is all that separates guests from the canyon far below. It was a great experience that isn't just for tourists; every Vancouverite should put this on their "to do list" this Summer and get a bird's eye view of their beautiful city! Like the saying goes during the Olympics..."You Gotta Be Here"!
