    It’s a very good ferry service with good boats and crew with exceptional toilet facilities and - in my limited experience - good safety standards and a reasonable pricing policy.

    It is free to enter and wander through this facility. It was interesting to see the fish ladder, both outside next to the river and from the underground viewing area. There were plenty of posters providing information about the hatchery and different salmon species. A great place to learn about Canada's native salmon, their life cycle and to observe them up close. There were toilets available. We walked up to the hatchery from the Suspension Bridge park, 20 minutes, accurately predicted by Google!

    From Lonsdale terminal we took the so-called "Sea Bus" to cross over North Vancouver and visit this place. The ride lasted for just a few minutes, but it was very relaxing and well organized. Nirth Vancouver is a lovely place to go to, with lots of eateries and pubs (among other things). The view of the city is also beautiful. But what I liked the most was exploring the Quay Market and Food Hall itself, with all its food kiosks and shops. There's a good selection of international cuisine to choose from. We opted for some Mexican food, which was great.

    What to do on a staycation long weekend Find a local patio and enjoy craft beer and TACOS so much fun .Now I checked the website and saw that it gets busy and was very worried about getting a spot to sit Wishing of course for a patio seat and lucky me we arrived just in time the patio was quiet still. I became increasingly jealous of the mountain bikers as they rode in following their rides such a good idea and great way to end a ride
    I have been a fan of their blood orange wheat beer for years and when I was tipped off about tacos I was itching to go .Three tacos for $12. We had the pull pork and vegetarian tacos on the patio watching the hop vines grow it was a great spot and I highly recommend it to beer lovers

    We continued our craft brewery exploration in North Vancouver with a visit to Black Kettle Brewery.
    .
    There is a good selection of outdoor seating with sun cover.

    Beer was excellent.

    Dog friendly too....

    A bright modern gallery that is accessible for everyone. Good shopping and modern exhibits make this a great stop when in the shipyards area of North Vancouver

    We needed a few things that we were running short of during our road trip and if you can’t find it at the Capilano Mall you are not looking hard enough! On top of all the retail stores there is a giant WalMart plus ample parking all around. It is really easy to get lost. There is a food court and we had lunch from Halima Grill and ate at one of the many tables nearby.

    Definitely not something to go out of your way for, but a nice local experience. The school district office is co-located here, so there are student art works on display as well as more established artists.

    Check out their website for the regular "Classics at the Smith" and "Jazz at the Smith" musical/art evenings. A great deal at $10.

    I’ve been to this location many times now and have switched the types of service and therapists and they never disappoint. Great relaxing environment and I am pleasantly surprised at how skillful the technicians are at resolving issues with my body. Will definitely be back again.

    I had one of the best massage experiences that I’ve ever had at Balay spa. I came in stiff and got the deep tissue massage. I feel incredible. No more stiffness and lots of energy. The staff are so warm and lovely. I’m looking forward to going back and trying out all the other massages.

    Dropped by for a coffee and a sweet. Both were great. It was at 11.15 am so there was a parking space. At very busy times parking is limited and so is space to eat.

    Spa Utopia is the only large spa in North Vancouver. The place is tired and needs renovation, rooms are small, changing rooms small, awful spa music and tired fruit and nut snacks.

    Staff pretty good and professional although no sense that this is a fun place to work.

    Local Disappointed! Maybe go for the beer and a game of pool. Food was average at best.
    Maybe we ordered the wrong items. I hoped for more homemade food. Arancini was ok but plain. Service was friendly. Trying for a positive but won’t return.
