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
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.
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.
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.
