Things to do in Vancouver, Canada: The Best Nature & Parks
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

North America's third-largest park draws eight million visitors per year, many of whom may skate or walk past you on the Seawall, a scenic, 5.5-mile path running along the water on the park's perimeter. It's just one of many trails among the park's 1,000 acres, which also house an aquarium, nature center and other recreational facilities.

Rented bikes from Spokes and spent 6-7 hours here. Thoroughly enjoyed it all, including biking along the seawall/causeway and interior paths, exploring the woods, visiting the Aquarium, and having a leisurely meal at Prospect Point with its great views of Lions Gate Bridge. Signage in the park is not always clear. Sometimes it is difficult to discern whether a path/trail is open to bicycles, and finding certain points of interest isn't always straightforward. I had to backtrack on various occasions, but that is part of the fun of exploring. I highly recommend spending several hours to enjoy and uncover the various sites and scenes.

Despite the ticket price this is a wonderful aquarium. They are constantly updating and expanding exhibits. The beluga whales and otters are my favorites.
