4. Science World
Science World, officially known as Telus World of Science, in Vancouver, is a hub of activity for old
and young alike. It is a not-for-profit science centre featuring many permanent interactive exhibits and
displays, as well as a variety of others that change throughout the year. One of the visiting exhibits
includes “Ultimate Dinosaurs” featuring new and unusual dinosaurs from South America, Africa and
Madagascar with rarely seen specimens using reality technology transforming full-scale dinosaurs
into flesh covered animated beasts. There is a summer science camp offered for children with differ-
ent themes each year. After hours, in the evening, there is “Science World After Dark” where adults
only can mix, mingle and explore science like a kid but without the kids. The centre is also home to an
OMNIMAX theatre where you can travel the world without leaving Canada. It’s an exciting and educa-
tional place for everyone.
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is most famous for its suspension bridge, but has much more. The
suspension bridge, built in 1889, is 450 feet (137m) across, 230 feet (70m) above the Capilano River
and has been crossed by millions of visitors. The sounds of nature all around you, the natural history,
adventure and culture within minutes of downtown Vancouver, will take you into a utopia you won’t
soon forget. Then you can experience the Cliffwalk, a cantilevered walkway along a granite cliff high
above the Capilano Canyon. Treetops Adventure, seven suspension bridges, guided nature tours, the
Kids’ Rainforest Explorer program and the Living Forest exhibit are all other rain forest adventures you
can experience. There are fantastic photo ops everywhere including the the Totem Park and with the
Capilano Tramps.
