Other Capilano Attractions
Trading Post
The Trading Post gift shop is housed in a stunning log cabin that was
built in 1911 and originally used as a Tea House. Situated on the edge
of the
scenic canyon, the store features Native art, Canadiana, clothing,
souvenirs, and gift items. Just outside, the new cantilevered deck along
the canyon wall leads to the Pioneer Garden - considered by some visitors
as one of the best views in the province. Two hundred feet long and 300
feet above Capilano River, it offers spectacular views up and down the
canyon.
Totem Park
The second most photographed part of the Park (besides the
suspension bridge), the colourful Totem Park features more than 25
authentic BC totem poles collected since the 1930's. These handsome poles
are maintained in the exact condition they were received and illustrate
the popular use of paint by Coast Salish carvers.
The Story Centre
With one of the richest histories
of a B.C. landmark, the Story Centre will bring you face-to-face with
the pioneers who shaped the history of Capilano Suspension Bridge and
Vancouver. Through life-sized photomurals, an audio show, real hands-on
historical artifacts, and informative flip-books, you'll see the rich
history of the area. The era-costumed guides will tell you all about the
secret love stories, the hard work, the native heritage - right up to
today. And the guests help add to the story. Once you've visited, you
can return and tell your story about visiting the Bridge!
Vancouver English Centre Students
Visit by yourself or with a
Vancouver English Centre group. Students with VEC identification cards
can receive the Group Rate when they book as a group. Reservations must
be made by calling 985-7474.
