Grouse Mountain is a perfect natural landscape. In the summer, you can enjoy the green scenery all over the mountain. In the winter, it is also a good place for skiing. The Grouse Mountain tour bus can go directly to the sightseeing spot on the top of the mountain. The lake water is also a very clear resource.
Grouse Mountain is located in North Vancouver, 1,200 meters above sea level. It was named after the blue grouse found on the mountain in 1894. The first hotel on the mountain was built by the Scandinavians in 1920, and a cable car was built in 1949. It was accidentally destroyed by a fire in 1962, and the BC government later funded the construction of a new one. In 1976, the mountain was acquired by the previous owner, the McLaughlin family. Later, this cable car was named Olympic after several repairs.
The most famous hiking route on Grouse Mountain is the Grind Hiking Trail, which is about 2.9 miles long. After arriving, you can watch the bears and wolves in the wildlife park. You can also participate in the game activities in the park, including high ropes, cabin climbing and other projects.
🚌Transportation: First take the Skyline Skytrain to Waterfront Station, and walk across the skybridge in the same building to take the Seabus to Lonsdale Quay. It takes fifteen minutes to arrive, and there is a seaside market to visit. Then take bus No. 236 directly to Grouse Mountain.
🎫Tickets: 60 Canadian dollars, including tickets to attractions and cable car tickets for going up and down the mountain. Prices may vary in off-season and peak seasons.
🍔Dining: After the cable car arrives, there is a rest area where you can buy coffee☕️bread🥯 and other simple meals. There is also a high-end restaurant where tourists can taste local cuisine.
⚠️Note: There is a slight temperature difference between the mountain and the bottom of the mountain, so you can wear a professional assault jacket. You can also bring mineral water, thermos cups, hot tea, coffee, etc., and some snacks such as bread. Friends who are prone to motion sickness can bring motion sickness medicine. Friends who are afraid of heights can hike up the mountain without taking the cable car🚠

Its cool there, with many interactive displays, games, optical illusions, playground for kids and outdoor area!
Vancouver Science World is also a very interesting place. The whole building itself is quite special. The huge glass ball looks very eye-catching. The space and area of the whole area are also relatively large. Visiting here is also a very special thing.

Free parks in Vancouver, with beautiful natural scenery!
Lynn Canyon Park has complete facilities for tourists, including walking trails in the forest, swaying suspension bridges over the canyon, waterfalls, and colorful streams. It is a great place for families, children, and friends to hike together and explore the forest canyon! Parking is charged at $3 per hour.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, indoor activities are risky and outdoor attractions are more popular. This is also a great natural oxygen warehouse with towering trees everywhere in the park. It's a pity that the small suspension bridge attraction has been closed. The main reason is that it is impossible to maintain a distance of two meters on the bridge.

Beacon Hill Park is Victoria’s oldest and most popular park. It boasts an ornamental lake with a beautiful stone bridge which is home to a vast array of wild fowl including Blue Herons that nest in the old growth trees that surround the lake. Walk up Beacon Hill for spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and the waterfront. You can watch cricket being played on the cricket pitch and stroll through the many flower gardens. If you are lucky you can also enjoy performances at the band shell. The park is a must see for anyone visiting Victoria.
The Canadian lighthouse is also a place worth visiting close to the coastline. The park is also pretty good, with a large green area, some flowers and insects. The green background color can be seen here all year round.
