We hired bikes this time & cycled the seawall. We have also gone around the park in a car & motorhome in the past. We really enjoyed going around with the bikes, spectacular views & a nice sea breeze. Bike stands are plentiful.

Enjoyed the scenery. Nice seeing all the families out enjoying the sun. We spent a few hours just wandering about and having an occasional seat to lap up the scenery.

neat place to view and walk around in. Flowers were pretty and well worth the walk as one of the sites in Vancouver.

Because it was thunderstorming, I was only able to take a trolley tour around the park. No one wanted to get off the trolley because of the downpour, so we just rode around it and stopped at sites with narration provided by the driver. This tip of land off of downtown Vancouver is really a rain forest. Gorgeous. It's surrounded... More

there is lots to see in stanley park and it is a beautiful park that both the locals and tourists like to visit. it is quite a distance between the attractions but there are shortcuts to be had if you know where to look. the most out of the way attraction is the totem poles which are disappointing. the park...

We had a great walk around the park along the seawall. 5 miles/8 km, but it felt like far less as there was something interesting to see the whole way. A lovely place, and a nice escape from the noise of the city. Definitely worth a visit!

SO MANY trails. Bike, rollerblade, walk. In bad weather take the interior trails. In good weather walk, rollerblade, or cycle the sea wall.

We took the Trolley Bus tour for 2 days most of which was showery. The commentaries on the 3 troll lies we're varied and interesting. We managed to walk some of the paths around Lost Lagoon and Rose Gardens. Several couples having wedding photos taken. Gardens beautifully kept with lots of interesting plant. Trees alone worth the visit.

Right in the heart of the city is this truly magnificent temperate rainforest with specimens of all native trees intergrated with beautiful landscaped gardens, picnic spots, cafes and lookouts. Easily accessible for disabled with wide gently sloping pathways and cycleways or take the shuttle bus between each stop.

Stanley park is just a fantastic place to go.The flower gardens are wonderful. Take a picnic with you and just explore the miles of trails. ... saw Bald Eagles.. even though we had light rain, I don't think you could have a bad day in Stanley park.
