Grouse Mountain: Ride the Gondola or Hike the Grind

There's no better way to view Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Everywhere you look is gorgeous. Gondola up and then chairlift to the peak. Busy summer day but still not crowded. In terms of for money... well, it's a million dollar view. Definitely a must visit spot. Worth it for a few hours at the top. If you are a BC resident, let them know when you're buying your tickets and you'll receive a not insignificant discount.

First time to this mountain. Rained the day before so was a bit slippery. Tram was also broken so not many people hiking. Great trail and they have like 2 versions, 1 is for the real hikers and the other is for the occasional hiker. They have the trail marked with fluorescent markers making it a bit easier to find your way in and out. Make sure you go with someone and that your phone is full of battery! Other than that I would definitely return and hike here again. I also recommend this mountain to those who like to hike as well to give it a try!

Very nice and fun for the whole family. You'll need a whole day to explore everything comfortably. They have a lot of informative, and funny shows. There's places to hike at as well. One downside is that their food is overpriced. Overall a fun experience

Certainly not the cheapest activity in the Vancouver area, but it really is worth it. The gondola ticket gets you to the top of the mountain and then there are a number of excellent activities included in the ticket price, including birds of prey, a lumberjack show, ranger talks, an opportunity to see two rescued grizzly bears, and a 4-man chairlift to the summit for even more stunning views. We took a picnic up to the summit to avoid the wait (and, probably, cost) of buying food on the mountain. That said, there are a number of different places to grab lunch should you want to, as well as an ice cream stand, coffee bar, BeaverTails, etc.. Half a day is barely enough to see it all properly, and it could easily be a full day out. Note that, at peak times, you may need to wait to get both up and down the mountain on the gondola - we waited around an hour to get back down (from 16:00-17:00). Overall, well worth a visit.

We went during the summer and it was a great little tourist attraction with grizzly bears - Grinder & Coola - a Lumberjack show, Indigenous music, and wild birds of prey. Recommend planning to spend at least a few hours here. The longest queue was taking the gondola down the mountain so plan on leaving taking a little longer then you would expect. Got lucky and saw a beautiful Raven in the parking lot too. There is a shuttle that takes you from Canada Place to Grouse Mountain that runs about every 30-45 minutes. If you are staying around downtown, use the shuttle to your advantage.
