Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Two proud lions guard the entrance to the bridge, flanking its entrance in Stanley Park. They way about 10 tons each and are very impressive. Folklore says there are silver coins under each front foot and bronze under the tail. Worth a look close up to get an impression of the size

Lions Gate Bridge connects Stanley Park and North Vancouver. It was completed at about the same time as San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is red, but this one is green. There are three lanes, and the middle lane changes direction depending on the time of day.

Easy way to travel between North Shore & Vancouver, as long as it's not during "rush hour" traffic (LOL). Sadly the traffic has increased during the years, however driving options have not. Still love travelling this iconic structure.

Nice to walk across to enjoy the views and to drive across. I especially enjoyed viewing it from Stanley Park.

The Lion's Gate Bridge is iconic in Vancouver. Rather than just look at the bridge, you can walk over the bridge and get terrific views of Vancouver. There is easy access from Prospect Point in Stanley Park. Walk down one side and back the other.just be mindful of the cyclists and follow the sgns about which side of the path you should be walking on.

The best view points are from Prospect Point, from the Bridge just before Prospect Point, and from the seawall. Night time it's gorgeous to see lit up, it looks like a pearl necklace is strung from it.

Rain or shine, heading over the Lions Gate Bridge from Stanley park on your way to West Van, North Van, or Horseshoe Bay for the BC Ferries to the islands, the view is spectacular. It's worth the drive for that alone. However, traffic can be wicked, so avoid normal business rush hours.

Fabulous looking bridge that connects North vancouver with Stanley park. Reminds me of the bridge in Lisbon crossing the Tagus. Looking forward to actually crossing on our trips out.

Well worth a walk along the sea wall to view the great engineering of the Lions Gate Bridge. When leaving Vancouver to travel to Whistler we drove out over the bridge, a lovely experience.

Hello, We are staying in downtown Vancouver and wondered how to get to Lion's Gate bridge. We hope to walk across it. The last time we visited your beautiful city, we came close to it by walking through Stanley Park but didn't quite make it to the bridge. We would like to use public transportation, if possible. Thanks.

Yes you can. You can rent bikes. We were using the Hop On Hop Off bus. It stopped at a view point next to the bridge. We got excellent photos of the bridge & surrounding area.
