Stanley Park has it all. The seawall is a great biking/walking/running path with unparalleled views. Trails take you into the forest where you would swear you are far away from the city (and you are really only minutes away). Stop and eat at the Teahouse, hang out at the beach. What's not to love. Every time I visit, I always... More

Not quite as amazing as in past years before the wind storm. Would HIGHLY recommend taking an evening carriage ride around the park. Usually cooler and not as busy. Tour guides are very knowledgeable. More

A Jewel. Take the kids. If it's hot out, bring bathing suits. Be prepared for lots of walking. More

Hire a bike for a couple of hours (from one of a number of stores near the park) or just wander about. Easy way to spend half a day. More

This is a must when visitng Vancouver, take the normal public bus to the park, there are hop-on hop-off tour buses thqat will drop you there bit they are expensivem, however they also have a tour bus that goes a round the park. My recommendation is to just walk - it is 5.5 miles round the edge of the park... More

Pleasant and friendly park, well worth visiting whilst in Vancouver. Saw squirrels, plenty of birds, racoons and even a skunk! Suggest hiring a bike though to see all of the park as big area to cover by foot. More

We rented bicycles and went for a ride in the park. We had a wonderful experience. There were trees, beaches, water and not that many people. Try to avoid weekends. More
