Vancouver residents adore Stanley Park. It is the city’s largest urban park and a national historic site that serves as a rich, verdant oasis in the center of the city and is one of the top Vancouver BC attractions. Its 400 hectares of space has features typically found in just about any West Coast habitat. In one stroll, you will go through the rainforest, by the sea, through the mountains, and along the seawall.

It’s a place where you can enjoy solitude, watch birds, admire sweeping trees, or play on the beach or on the tennis or golf court. You will also see Native American totem poles scattered around the park as well as many other art pieces that complement the art nature has created in the form of the thematic gardens. Take a mini train or a horse carriage to make your exploration even more pleasant. The park is also home to the Canada’s largest aquarium, but you’ll need another day to see it; it’s an absolute delight that should not be rushed.
