Stanley Park Reviews

If you have only one afternoon to spend in Vancouver, take your family to Stanley Park. You can't go wrong. Stanley Park is the grand daddy of all parks in Greater Vancouver. Known around the world, and why shouldn't it be...a beautiful 1000 acre park that's almost smack dab in the middle of Vancouver.

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.

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.
