    A visit to Grouse Mountain is a must
    We had the most amazing time on Grouse Mountain. The gondola is an experience, you have to be prepared to be crammed in. We went to the first Birds of Prey show for the season, so the birds weren't allowed to fly, but they are quite majestic anyway. Seeing the young Grizzly Bears there was incredible. You can get reasonably close, if and when they come out. It was really cold up there, so you must be rugged up.

    Nice view - rich prices
    There are different price categories - the best for day tourists would be: 80 CAD for adults (ascent and descent) 205 CAD Family Ticket (2 adults, 2 children ascent and descent) -> here also includes the ascent to the actual summit, which is located at 1,231 m altitude (because the "skyride" takes you to the first plateau, where you can find the THE OBSERVATORY - Restaurant or the Grouse Grind Coffee Bar or from where you can start other Things to do). 25 CAD for adults (Sunset Special from 7pm/7pm) In addition, for only CAD 20 for adults, there is a ticket for those who have hiked up on foot and therefore only need the descent.

    A sight not to be missed!
    I was a little apprehensive about getting onto the sky ride but knew if I didn’t, that it was a two hour strenuous walk up to the top!. It was exceptionally smooth and lots of photo opportunities. It does be fairly busy and you can also get your tickets online, remember to state if you a pensioner and if you are from Vancouver it will be cheaper still!.

    Good day out
    Good day out with spectacular views of Vancouver. Took the Skyride to the top and the skilift to the very summit for the most amazing views of the city and the surrounding area. Watched the Lumberjack show which was a good show. The only thing I didn't like was the grizzly bear area, I don't really like to see animals in cages but that's a personal thing.

Having visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, out guided tour then took us up to the Grove Mountain Ski Area. We rode the Mountain Skyride for access to the top and found it all a great experience. At the top, we were able to purchase lunch (even if the prices seemed over the top) but wandered around to enjoy the views overlooking Vancouver as well as visit the 2 grizzly bears kept up there and went to the free lumber jack show which was entertaining with a real comedy theme running through it.
Added to the morning trip to Capilano Park it made for a very good outing.

Very popular and the cars get very busy so time your visit well. The queues are quite long and waiting time can be an inconvenience if you are trying to catch a coach waiting at the bottom. The trip in the gondola up to the top does not take very long it is the queues that delay everything.

Great views from the gondola and there are some intersting things to see at the top so worth the wait time. Enjoyed the lumberjack show and loved seeing the bears. Managed to get some great photos through the car window.

even though it was cloudy we enjoyed the day. the ride up was peaceful the ride down was not. School kids. It is ok it is a kids activity. The lumberjack show was entertaining and had partial views from the top but we were just too early. Would repeat as there is enough to do in a afternoon

In relation to the time spent, this was the most expensive thing we have done in several years! Whilst the gondola ride is a great experience and the view at the top is amazing (especially if you take the chair lift up for the final bit) it's debatable if its value for money. You can see the bird show, lumberjacks and two rescued grizzlies without extra cost and the number 236 bus took us to and from the suspension bridge for free.

It is indeed a once in a lifetime experience for me to pay so much for so little - second perhaps only to the Livraria Lello book shop in Porto!

A really disappointing trip, wouldn't recommend travel up in the winter unless you are skiing.
We were highly recommended this as a must do trip when visiting Vancouver and we were really disappointed.
The ride in the gondola was really packed as people were crammed in with skies and equipment. Sadly not a relaxing ride.
At the top most things were closed because it was winter. Even the observation deck was closed. We visited the cinema to learn more about the mountain and the film being shown was about Iceland!! As the space wasn't manned by staff, kids were using it as a space to sit and chat away from watching adults. So we couldn't even watch the film being shown.
For the money, there was so little to do up there accept ski. The animal area was closed until June.
Sadly, an experience I wouldn't do again and couldn't recommend. When I look at what else we afforded on our trip, for the same price or less, it completely wasn't worth the money.
Ultimately a lot of money for an 8 minute overcrowded gondola ride.

Fun afternoon riding the Skyride gondola to the top of the mountain - wonderful views of the city below. Lumberjack show was fun. Got up close to two grizzly bears - man, they are huge! Had lunch in nice BBQ restaurant while birds of prey show was going on. Highly recommend for all ages, including kids.

When in Vancouver you will be amazed at the view from Canada Place across the Bay towards Stanley Park and The Lion's Gate Bridge. BUT in the far distance is Grouse Mountain, the city's ski area. Take the courtesy coach from Canada Place to Grouse Mountain via Stanley Park, The Lion's Gate Bridge and Capilano ( this is worth 30 minutes of anyone's time alone ) - a great free tour. The Skyride cablecar is not expensive, takes minutes to the summit where you will fine cafes, restaurants, shops, viewing platforms, AND MUCH MORE. How about, chairlifts, zip wires ( instruction school as well ) outdoor play areas, bear enclosure ( we saw 2 sleeping ), birds of prey demo and lumberjack show. All for the price of the Skyride ticket. Highly recommend . Enjoy.

When the weather is clear, you have a nice view of Vancouver. We had a sunny day and yet the visibility was not optimal. The ride itself is expensive, especially for a round trip. If you are fit, walk up the path in about 2 hours. Upstairs there are multiple shows and 2 grizzly bears.

$150 plus taxes for a 6 minute return trip on a gondola is absolutely ridiculous. Once at the top there’s not much to do anyway plus you’ll be paying more for mediocre overpriced food if you fancy something to eat. What a rip off.
