Grouse Mountain Skyride
The Grouse Mountain Skyride is one of Vancouver’s major tourists attractions and is North Americas largest aerial tramway system.
The Skyride starts at the base of Grouse Mountain and every 15 minutes starts its climb from 300 m (1000 ft) to 1100 m (3700 ft). The ride takes about 12 minutes and during that time you are able to see all of Vancouver and the surrounding areas, a spectacular site!
When you reach the top of Grouse Mountain you will find plenty of stuff to do all year round.
Your admission ticket to Grouse Mountain includes the Skyride and a multitude of activities that happen year round.
During the winter months you can enjoy the Theater in the Sky which shows two scenic and informative shows every hour; Born to Fly and The Discovery Channel’s Animal Tracks. There is also snowshoeing, ice-skating, sleigh rides and the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife, where two resident grizzly bears, and four timber wolves roam around in their natural habitat.
Summer activities included in your admission ticket include lumberjack shows, falconry demonstrations, guided eco-walks, hiking and of course unlimited photo opportunities. As well, the Theater in the Sky and the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife are open year-round.
