Capilano Suspension Bridge, Vancouver, British Columbia

Capilano Suspension Bridge, open every day except Christmas, is Vancouver's oldest and most famous attraction, drawing over 800,000 visitors and 450 tour operators annually. The bridge is 450 feet across and 230 feet above Capilano River and is, without a doubt, the world's greatest suspension footbridge! It is conveniently located 10 minutes from downtown Vancouver, through Stanley Park, and over the Lions Gate Bridge. Take a stroll in our Park... voices from the past mingle with the sounds of nature, award winning gardens skirt colourful totem poles, First Nations Carvers tell their story and the world's greatest suspension bridge takes you to the serenity of a West Coast rainforest ... it's all in a day's fun at Capilano Suspension Bridge .

One overwhelming interest of guests is the flora and fauna of the West Coast rain forest. While the forest itself remains untouched, the Living Forest at the west landing provides panels with interactive displays, fun facts and "what's that tree?" identification clues, and more.

First Nations carvers at Capilano Suspension Bridge work on-site in the Big House and tell visitors about their techniques, skills and heritage. The colorful Totem Park displays over 25 authentic totem poles collected since the 1930's and life-size red cedar statues carved during the Depression. Recent poles in the Park include a memorial pole to Mary Capilano, the Human Peace Pole, the Salmon Creek Pole, Wolf Guardian Pole and a pole depicting the legend, How the Raven Stole the Sun, all placed along the cliff edge of Capilano River at the south end of the Park. The central house post for the Big House is an honour pole, recognizing carvers past, present and future at Capilano Suspension Bridge and commemorating the Next Generation.

The full service Bridge House Restaurant was originally the residence of former owner, Mac MacEachran. The worn rafters and cozy stone fireplace create a comfortable atmosphere in casually elegant surroundings. During the months of May to October, visit the Canyon Cafe and Loggers' Grill where you'll find light meals and barbecue favourites in a casual outdoor setting.
