The Lookout is great for views of Vancouver so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you're looking for anything more entertaining than that. I went on a clear sunny day so I really got good views, the mountains in particular looked spectacular. There isn't much to this attraction but I think it's worth it if you've never been in Vancouver... More

There is a lot of interesting information provided to augment the far reaching views. I would recommend going early on in the trip if you are interested in getting a bearing of Vancouver and its surrounding neighborhoods. The price of admission is worth it if you can come back in the evening for the sunset or night view. Your admission... More

I especially like that the ticket is valid until late in the evening so you can go back at night to see the city lights! Well worth the minimal admission fee! Threre is a restaurant at the... More

We did this as part of a city tour and had no idea of exactly what this attraction was - having arrived in Vancouver the evening before. There is an efficient and quite fast lift up to the top where amazing views of Vancouver may be seen, There is a revolving restaurant above the lookout as well. It is well... More

Not sure it was worth the money as i got the same views from other building - but its very pretty, unfortunately we didn't get full access because it was closed off and very busy because of xmas parties - i think we should have been discounted! but still worth a visit! More

Really beautiful views. Cost is somewhat high, but worth it on a clear day. Historical info is a nice addition to the viewing spaces. More
