Vancouver Lookout
When you hear Vancouver Lookout, the first thing you may think about is a Lover’s Lane that you may have seen in the movies. This spectacular place is nothing like that.
It is actually a vast panoramic deck in which to view the world below. Well, not the world specifically, but the great city of Vancouver.
First things first, you have to get to the top. You catch a glass elevator and take a forty-second ride up, up, up. Five hundred fifty feet to be exact. Once you are up there, you will immediately become amazed. There is so much to see! From your bird’s view, you can see the North Shore, Olympic Peninsula Mountains, and Stanley Park. It has to be the most breathtaking perspective you can receive in Vancouver. It is a 360-degree sight that will be forever emblazoned in your mind. Simply unforgettable.
Tourists have many tips when it comes to the Vancouver Lookout. First, make this your first and last stop on your itinerary. You want to take full advantage of the whole day admission because there is a best-kept secret that comes along with it. Start your day at the lookout. Take in the scenery. Then grab a bite to eat or visit another attraction. When the sun is getting ready to make its descent, make your way back to the Lookout. If you think you will see a spectacular sunset on a tropical beach, you are sadly mistaken. The best spot to see the sunset for the day is at the Vancouver Lookout. Another piece of advice from others who have visited is to make sure you go on a cloudless day. A clear sky will allow you to see things for miles ahead. Lastly, take part in the guided tour that is included in your admission price. It is worth it to get the information and inside scoop on the places to look at and the history of the Lookout.
Are your children ready to be a Sky Scout? The Vancouver Lookout has a program for children from ages 6-12. They can earn a badge from visiting the Lookout while they learn pertinent information. Activity books, word searches, and trivia are available to keep the little ones busy. Even more exciting is that they can make a cloud viewer. Using their new tool, they can classify the types of clouds they see from the observation deck. What a great learning experience for you and your kids!
The Vancouver Lookout isn’t just for sightseeing. You can rent the venue for a wedding that will keep your guests raving about your nuptials for years to come. Starting at $600, you can have the observation deck for your reception. You may also add optional extras for a small fee. Just imagine — celebrating with your love with a panoramic view of the sunset on your wedding day. #nothingbetter
