Took the train from Richmond to Sea Train crossing, then went on bus through North Vancouver to Grouse Mountan sky tram. It was so convenient. Very little wait times, and the view is amazing looking back at Vancouver. We stayed the day at the chalet and watched the movies there. It was a bit cold to do hiking but will... More

There is still snow at this time of year, so dress warmly and be prepared for the walking conditions. Beautiful log chalet at the top, restaurant and outdoor deck area. There are some indoor movies to watch, visit the grizzly bears, the wind turbine. You can enjoy dinner at the top and the gondola's were still running later in the... More

Everybody and their brother tries to go up there on the gondola but the price of that gondola is ridiculous! It used to be reasonable years ago. It's not a provincially owned park, it's private and it's obvious they're scalping tourists with that kind of pricing! More

We bought are tickets from the Tourism Center near the convention centre. We were under the impression that there would be trails to hike and we would not need special equipment like snow shoes or skiis. We were misinformed. We spent $80 for an 8 minute ride to the top. The views are nice, but I've seen much better from... More

Great views of Vancouver and beyond... even Vancouver Island! Informative and exciting if the Skyride operator isn't too hungover. I've been on this Skyride millions of times since I have a seasons pass but looking down on the city is always fun. Lots of activities come with your Grouse day pass... the theatre in the sky, skating, snowshoeing, restaurants, ziplining... More

Picture a beautifully cosmopolitan city filled with highrises and skyscrapers, adjacent to 1001 acres of urban parkland (Stanley Park), surrounded by a beautiful harbour and spectacular mountains. Just imagine the breathtaking view from a gondola that rises from the base of the Grouse Mountain ski and summer resort to the top of the Coastal Mountains that showcases all the stunning... More
