Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

A bridge has swung across this canyon since 1889. Today's span runs 137 metres and hangs 70 metres above the Capilano River, and the entrance sits on Capilano Road above the river's east bank. Crossing takes five to 15 minutes. The park reckons the whole visit takes two to two and a half hours on average.

Treetops Adventure strings seven small suspension bridges between platforms up to 33 metres above the forest floor. Cliffwalk is a cantilevered walkway that clings to the granite wall of the canyon for 213 metres. At its highest it stands about 90 metres above the canyon floor. The Story Centre fills in the history with old photographs and artifacts. Free guided talks run all year, and the day's schedule is posted at the entrance.

From 20 November 2026 to 10 January 2027 the park turns into Canyon Lights and opens from 11 am to 9 pm every day except Christmas. Lights cover the bridge, and Wildlight projects West Coast animals such as black bears and great horned owls onto the rainforest in 3D. Canyon Lights comes with regular admission. The park suggests booking an arrival time ahead and taking the free shuttle on the busiest nights.

Tickets come in 30-minute arrival windows at weekends and on holidays and one-hour windows on weekdays, and you can stay for an hour after closing. Anyone under 15 needs to come with someone 18 or older. Leashed dogs are welcome. The park stays open in the rain, and the gift shop sells umbrellas if you forget one.
