- CCCCalifornia96 contributionsIt was fun! We had an amazing time looking at the Japanese Sea Nettle and the white jelly fish. It’s so relaxing to be around fishes and water. I only wish they have bigger space and other water animals to add in the future. Overall, we enjoyed the rest of our tour.Written March 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

We followed the wall by walking around Stanley Park. It is a calming way to get fit and enjoy the beautiful natural wonders of the area.Written December 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- akat411San Francisco, CA150 contributionsThis was a great place to eat lunch during our Vancouver visit. There were so many options of food. The place was full of people but not as extremely crowded as other similar markets I've been to. And most importantly, it actually had some places to sit and eat (though you'd have to wait for a party to get up and leave). My family did a loop around, and then split up to go purchase our choices. There are also shops (many souvenir shops) around the market as well. We had to do a lap or two to find parking (paid parking in a garage) but again, it wasn't too bad. Clean restrooms located in a few of the different buildings. Go check it out if you're in the area!Written March 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- markitikiOrlando, FL698 contributionsWe purchased the day pass so that we had the ability to hop on/off, which we were glad we did! The staff were very informative and had great recommendations.

- Stewarts Vacation1,035 contributionsThis is the main cruise ship terminal for Vancouver. The architecture is the drawcard, with the five distinctive white sails making it a recognisable landmark around the world. The area is rich in cultural and historical significance and well worth a wander.Written January 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
