Stanley Park Walking Tour: Totem Poles, Seawall and Beaver Lake
Overview
Stanley Park is larger than New York's Central Park, and most visitors see only a small part of it. Walk it with a local guide and take in the highlights in one easy outing.
Stroll through the Rose Garden and out to the totem poles at Brockton Point, one of BC's most visited sights. Your guide shares the history of the poles and of the park, which sits on the lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
Follow the Seawall past the Girl in a Wetsuit statue and the dragon figurehead from the Empress of Japan, see the Nine O'Clock Gun, which has fired every night since 1898, and take in views of the Lions Gate Bridge. Then step into the forest to find quiet Beaver Lake, a spot many visitors miss.
The route is stroller-friendly, runs rain or shine, and your guide will share local tips for the rest of your trip.
