I hadn't been to Stanley Park in years and had forgotten how beautiful it was. I would recommend at least a full day to explore the park fully, as we spent 4 hours in the aquarium itself, seeing the shows and going through all the displays. Stanley Park is a 1000 acre park, at Vancouver's downtown core. The gorgeous surroundings, west coast flora and fauna and majestic vistas available make it a wonderful oasis in an exciting urban setting. Parking is $5.00 for a full day, and there is a free shuttle that circles the park with stops at the most popular sites. The bus driver/guide also makes succint commentary at each stop. Be warned that driving around the park is only in one direction, so if you miss an area, you have to most likely circle around again, which can be stressful at times. What I recommend is actually parking at an area, and taking the shuttle bus once around, to get an idea of the stops you want to take. We found that it took some of the pressure off, and we made note of some of the places we wanted to stop. Maps of the park are available at the information kiosk near the Vancouver Rowing Club just off Georgia Street. There is also a shuttle bus stop right across the street, with parking available close by, near the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.

Stanley park is the largest "city"park of North America. It's the major attraction of Vancouver. The park is filled with all kinds of interesting things to see and do. A major attraction are the Indian Totem Poles. Furthermore, you will find a swimming pool, beaches, a rose garden, forest, ponds and lots of great viewpoints. The park is for a large part surrounded by water and especially the area around the Totem Poles and Brockton Point has spectacular views of downtown to one side and North Vancouver to the other. Stanley Park is also home to the famous Vancouver Aquarium. Around the park lies the so-called seawall with a (mostly oneway) road, footpath and bike/skatepath. You can imagine the great relaxed atmosphere on a sunny day with tourists, joggers, cyclists and inline skaters. The park is serviced by means of several busservices to the centre of the park (the area of the Vancouver Aquarium) as well as the free Stanley Park Shuttle, which circles the park and has 14 stops along the way. When you go there by car, bear in mind that all parkings are pay-and-display, so bring coins. Leave a Comment Address: West end of Georgia Street, Vancouver
