Cable car up to the top was amazing. Such a great view of Vancouver down below. It wasn't a sunny day and it was snowing once we got to the top. It was out of season so wasn't too busy. There was an ice rink. Staff were shovelling ice off the paths ready for the Peak of Christmas. The bears were hibernating. There was an incredible view past the bear den of the snowy mountains on the horizon. Probably not much to do here unless you're skiing.

We spent a nice day at Grouse. The air tram to get to the mountain was nice. We went to the lumberjack show which was very entertaining and funny. Bird show was informative. Great to see the different birds up close The grizzly habitat was fun. Coola and Grinder were great! Probably the highlight for me. We saw a ranger give a talk about the bears. Skyride to the lookout point was very scenic. Food was good at the BBQ place on site.

Grouse Mountain is one of the peaks near Vancouver you can go on a day trip just to relax and commune with Nature. There's a gondola ride that takes you to the summit in just four minutes. On top you'll find a welcome area with a restaurant and souvenir shop. From there you can take various trails to follow. Along the way you'll encounter some wild animals, such as deers and bears. The view from the top is spectacular! I would give this place an excellent rating except that there are too many insects flying around, so be sure to bring along some insect repellent and wear long sleeves to protect yourself.

This was a great experience in the mountain ropes course. You get a great workout and see the wilderness from a different vantage point. Ladies, you need some upper body strength to complete the challenge. Yellow was fun, green was fun and a bit of a workout. Blue was very challenging. Black was a tap out.

Rightly called the grind to walk up. But brilliant hard exercise and free entertainment on top of mountain and viewing the grizzly bears. 20 dollars in cost of return down. Apparently not allowed to walk down although some I believe do.

We went to dinner at the observatory at Grouse mountain which meant we could get the gondola up there included in our meal. We could only use the gondola from 4pm which suited us as we just wanted to see the bears and the views. The meal was superb, best steak I have had in a long time. Extremely good value for money. The staff were very attentive and the views were stunning.

My family and I have started to get into snow sports after my wife and I had taken several years off. Our kids are at that perfect age now, where it makes for a great full day activity. We had decided that we should get family seasons passes for next season and were in the process of deciding on a mountain. We tried Seymour, Sasquatch and Grouse all on weekends to compare traffic both on the hill and the drives to/from On Saturday March 11th we went to Grouse and as expected it was a busy day. The lines were long, the mountain was busy, the snow was nice and we enjoyed the runs. By noon we had enjoyed ourselves and stopped for lunch at the Peak Chalet. After about 45 minutes or so we went back to hit the slopes and were shocked and appalled to find my snowboard was stolen! My 7 years old's board that was leaning against mine was lying on the ground and mine was nowhere to be seen. I immediately ran to the gondola to make sure someone wasn’t heading down with my board, but of course no one there had it. I went to the Guest services in the Peak Chalet to report it stolen. The gentleman there was friendly and very apologetic and said he could get me a premium rental to help salvage the day for our family. I got fitted and set up with a rental board. It had now been about 45-60 minutes since I noticed my board missing. I was about to leave with the rental when off to the right hand corner of the rental desk, not behind the desk, but right outside it, leaning against the wall was a snowboard that looked like mine. I went over and turned the board around and sure enough it was mine. I could tell by the bindings, and one nick on the nose of my two week old board. I asked the guys behind the desk what the hell! I said this is my board that was just stolen. The one guy said, “someone put it there around 10 minutes ago, we assumed it was a rental return.” Another guy said, “wow you’re lucky, that’s a nice board.” I left with my board, but something didn’t sit right. If my board was stolen and hour ago, how/why did someone put it in the rental shop 300 yards away, “ten minutes ago”. I don’t want to accuse anyone without any proof, but it seems very strange to me. I believe it could have been an employee(s), possibly in the rental shop that stole my board and was planning on bringing it down at the end of the day. If they leave the board to the side, not in their possession, but within their grasp, by the end of the day they could take it down the gondola when no one is around. I reported to customer relations right before we went down the mountain and the gentleman there agreed that the whole thing was rather fishy and wanted to get the rental shop manager over so I could talk to him. We were late for a family dinner, so we didn’t have time to wait. I sent an email to customer relations, he was apologetic but pretty much dismissed my concerns and said someone probably thought my shiny new board was their rental board and returned it. but not really returned it. hid it off to the side in the rental shop. Needless to say, we will not be getting passes at Grouse! Please be very carful with your property at this mountain and if you do get something stolen, check the rental shop!

A very well organised and sleek service to get to the mountain from the car parks. We used the bus and it stops right by the tram. The mountain has lots of trails and paths for all levels of skiers or you can walk through a number of paths. Compared with other ski places in the ares it is not expensive and the staff and ski school are helpful and very good. The food service is as you would expect and not overly expensive. during the week the mountain is not busy and the slopes are great. The biggest benefit is the night skiing which is until after 9PM, unlike most resorts that close at 4. It does get bust after 4 when the local residents go for a ski or snowboard but it is still not too busy.

I called to setup some services for a member of the Mountain. The call wait was over 30 minutes and the automated service kept saying the wait time was 1 MINUTE. This was when I was number 16 in the queue. The WAIT TIME did not change. It kept saying 1 MINUTE. I do not mind waiting but please have a more accurate method of letting a perspective customer (now number 2 position at 30 minutes) how long they potentially could be waiting.

I went to Vancouver all the time as a kid, having grown up in Washington, but I had never been to Grouse Mountain. My daughter and I absolutely loved it. We were there in June and it was still cold and quite snowy, which we loved. We loved the bears, the sky ride, the birds, the Beaver Tails, the movie, the lumberjack show, etc. Overall, it was a great experience and we truly enjoyed ourselves.

The day we hiked Grouse Mountain it was a very warm (26c) day. The trail was packed. It took us about 1h45 to climb the over 2,000 steps on various rugged terrain and boardwalks. Once we got to the top we had cool drinks. Too bad the grizzlies were hiding out. We were happy to take the gondola down the mountain. Hikers will experience stunning views of Howe Sound and its small islands once they reach the summit.

from the Gondola point, walk through the grizzly bears sanctuary and you will get to grouse mountain. the trek above will take around 45 mins and it is worth it.

Grouse Mountain is wonderful and the view from the top can’t be beat. But …..paying $59 (senior rate) plus tax, in the off season when several of the included attractions aren’t even open, and then paying to park on top of that, is a bit over the top opportunistic.

Seems expensive for just a gondola ride up a mountain but it was so much more. We were there for about 5 hours and left because we had a plane to catch. The mountain is really a place for many shows that are all included in one price. We attended a talk by a naturalist on bears while there were two bears roaming the enclosure behind her. She was an excellent speaker and very knowledgeable . We attended a raptor show that included five birds. Each was more amazing then the last. The first time we attended was in the late morning. We returned in the afternoon to see it again. Excellent both times. I have seen many raptor shows or demonstrations and this one was hands down the best i have seen to date. The is also a lumberjack show. I have seen many of these as well and mostly they are all pretty much the same but this one had an interesting twist. Will leave it to you to see it so I won't spoil the surprise. There is a restaurant that has good food but nothing really exceptional. The time was well spent and my wife and I enjoyed our trip to Grouse Mountain. I heard you can ever ski there in the winter.

Amazing view at the top of the lift and inside the restaurant. Great food at the restaurant. Watch the couple of bears playing in the water inside their enclosure. It’s a great hike.
