Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

An interesting experience but overall quite disapointing. The ticket price is high and you can expect hoards of tourists even on quiet or rainy days. You will be lucky to get a photo of the bridge alone or empty. The rest of the park is geared towards children and education so probably good for families. For adults or couples there are many better places to experience a suspension bridge, and most are free with more exciting views and rivers. The staff were nice and helpful, and there was live music when we visited. Nice to chat to the musician as we had a hot drink.

I went on perhaps one of the rainiest weekends to attend and it was honestly well-worth it! This park is absolutely breathtaking and the theming done for the Halloween season event is clever, fun and on par (if not better) than larger well-known parks that I’ve visited throughout the world. Friendly staff also help guide visitors and provide valuable and interesting information about the park, surrounding areas and ecology. Recommend at least two hours and is suitable for kids as long as they aren’t too afraid of heights. I would gladly come again and hopefully with friends! I look forward to a return in the future.

Capilano Park is an amazing attraction in North Vancouver! We got there shortly before 5pm and, thankfully, the ticket taker told us the price would drop by 25% if we wanted to wait (of course we did!!). Drops the price from $74 to $56 easily. You can also buy twilight tickets online, which we did to avoid the long line that gathered around 5. Heading into the park, there are a few attractions to look at before you reach the suspension bridge, which are cool. A totem tower here, a shop there, but I was eager to get to the main event. The suspension bridge is amazing, a swaying marvel, stretching over 400ft between the trees. There was quite the crowd when we went, which made for a slow trek across the bridge, but gave us ample time to admire the sights around. What a view. After you cross, there's a whole forest to explore. I highly recommend the Extreme Treetop Adventure, unless you have a fear of heights! With platforms high up on trees and mini suspension bridges, this path is a fun trek through the treetops, with signs explaining the sights. It's also the best of the bunch, as every other path pales in comparison. My second favourite attraction is the cliff walk back on the other side of the big bridge, which is a daring adventure alongside the cliff face. All the shops in this park are overpriced, so you're better off exiting to find food. But other than that, Capilano is a great place to spend an hour or two!

I visited a couple of years ago in the spring, and while it was beautiful then, my October visit felt entirely different as the park embraces a more festive vibe with Halloween lights. This time, I chose a later time slot and arrived between 5:00 and 7:00. It was perfect, as we got to experience the park during golden hour and stayed long enough to see the Halloween lights come alive as it got dark. The light installations were stunning, and we were really impressed. However, it did get quite crowded with families and children, even though we went midweek.

This place is so magical! Sure it’s expensive, but you can save $15 by buying tickets online for after 5:00 and that still gives you plenty of time to explore the park (and with less crowds)! You can also go when it’s drizzling to avoid crowds. Honestly, the mist adds an element of mystique to the rainforest setting. The free shuttle is nice as well! The bridge is the main attraction, but it only takes a few minutes to get across. It was very stable for being that long. The treetop adventure was pretty neat and so was the cliff walk. You can also walk around the boardwalks and see animal demonstrations and some beautiful forest sights. The seafood chowder at the restaurant was tasty! They even had live music in the evening. If you are debating going, don’t be deterred by the “tourist trap” comments. It’s a tourist trap for a reason — extremely well done.
