I'd highly recommend spending half a day here! Walk the seawall, stopping on one or more of the beaches. Go at low tide to see sea stars and other animals in the small tidal pools. Walk one of the interior trails for an entirely difference experience from the seawall - you run into virtually no other people since there are... more

Stop around, relax, enjoy the scenery, the landscape. And then, after returning the bicycle, have a meal at the Fish House - another nice surprise in the area. Be... more

Also, don't miss the aquarium - probably the highlight of the day for my friend & I. She's... more

My husband and I recently visited Vancouver and wanted to make sure to take the time out and visit Stanley Park. The Park is huge and truly beautiful. It happened to be raining the day we chose to walk the park but we did not mind (we are from AZ-never rains). We walked for hours and saw such beauty. We... more
