The park offers more than just the bridge - its surrounding 27 acres celebrate nature, history and culture in unique and thrilling ways. No more so than with its newest attraction, CLIFFWALK. Cliffwalk hangs for a heart-stopping 213m (700ft) and reaches 91m (300ft) high. This stunning walkway, made partly of glass, hugs the granite cliffside as it offers a panoramic view of the thriving rainforest and the canyon far below. On Treetops Adventure guests venture from one magnificent old growth Douglas-fir to another on a series of seven elevated suspension bridges, reaching as high as 100 feet (30m), for a squirrel’s eye view of the forest. Guides, signage and interactive human and natural history exhibits throughout the park help guests in their understanding of delicate rainforest ecosystems and the sustainability of this precious environment.All this only minutes from downtown Vancouver. « less
