Vancouver Attractions |
BC Place
Stadium |
What makes B.C. Place Stadium amazing? For starters,
it's the biggest air-supported domed stadium in the world.
More than 60,000 people can stay warm and dry while they
take in their favourite events. The only thing between
them and the elements outside is the thin fibreglass and
Teflon roof, high above. It's like walking under a fabric
sky -- one that's only 1/30 inch thick but stronger than
steel.

Capilano
Suspension Bridge |
Your pulse quickens as you step onto the swaying planks
of Vancouver's most popular visitor attraction. Breathe
in the cedar-scented rainforest air, as mists drift through
the canyon below and you make your way across Vancouver's
most famous landmark. Pause and marvel at this feat of
engineering, surrounded by 300 year old west coast rain
forest. No visit to Vancouver is complete without a stop
at Capilano Suspension Bridge.

Fort Langley
National Historic Site |
Built in 1827, Fort Langley was part of the Hudson's
Bay Company's network of fur trading posts across what
is now Western Canada. In response to the gold rush, which
attracted many Americans, British Columbia was proclaimed
a Crown Colony at Fort Langley in 1858. Today, Fort Langley
evokes a sense of historic place with one original building
and several reconstructed buildings, costumed interpreters,
historic objects and special events.
