This is a nice place to be if you really want to see the city from +/- 500 feet in the air. The day we went did not have low clouds/marine layer and we enjoyed beautiful 360 degree views. Inside the observation area is well documented with areas and buildings to spot, free use of high powered (stationary) binoculars, warm (it’s hilly in November!) and clean. This was a fun 45 minute ’break’ and gave us a chance to see Vancouver in a fairly unique way.

You get a beautiful view of Vancouver for much less than you pay for at the Space Needle in Seattle. Perfect timing, we went just before sunset and the lighting was beautiful and got great pictures before and at sunset. We spotted Gastown from up there and that's where we went afterwards. It's a beautifully lit area to take a stroll, grab coffee or dinner, and shop.

We went up on our first afternoon in town. We had taken the Skytrain from our hotel to the Waterfront Station, right across the street from the Vancouver Lookout. We took advantage of the opportunity to get a 360-degree orientation around the area and discuss what we wanted to see/visit the rest of our trip. There is a restaurant, but we didn't eat. Great views. But a couple of grips. They say "our glass elevators" but that creates a perception I didn't think existed. There's a glass wall looking out the back of the building. Nothing very exciting. As you walk around, there are signs w/ photographs identifying what is off in the distance. The pictures are local to the distant area and provide no guidance to actually finding the specific landmarks. Both minor issues. The latter would be easy to fix. The former not so much. Maybe just tone it down in the advertising. Great views and when we went on a summer Monday afternoon quite uncrowded. We were not rushed along by crowds at all. The glass was clean and it was easy to take pictures.
