Hotels near Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

The Capilano Suspension Bridge stretches 137 metres across the Capilano River canyon, swaying 70 metres above the water. Built in 1889, it is one of Vancouver's oldest tourist attractions and still one of the most thrilling. The surrounding park includes the Treetops Adventure (seven suspension bridges between Douglas fir trees at canopy level), the Cliffwalk (a cantilevered walkway along a granite cliff face), and a small collection of First Nations totem poles and carvings.

Adult admission is approximately CAD 63 (less when booked online in advance). The park is open year-round - in winter, the Canyon Lights installation drapes the bridge and forest in thousands of LED lights. Allow 1.5-2 hours for the full circuit. A free shuttle bus runs from Canada Place in downtown Vancouver to the park, departing every 20-30 minutes.

Pro Tip: Arrive right at opening (9am in summer, 10am in winter) to cross the bridge before the tour bus crowds arrive. The bridge sways more when packed with people, which can be unnerving if you are not fond of heights.
