Look out! The Vancouver Lookout Harbour Centre Tower provides a stunning 360-degree view of the city, equally impressive during the day and at night. Opened on August 13, 1977 by Neil Armstrong, who left behind his footprint in the concrete, the tower is Vancouver's tallest at 581 feet. Try to visit on a clear day – even the ride up, in a glass elevator, will give you a great view!

The original bridge was built in 1889, and although it's been replaced since then, there's been a bridge here ever since. Swaying 230 feet above the Capilano River, the plank and cable bridge stretches 450 feet from one side to the other. Other attractions at the park include the world's largest privately owned collection of totem poles, totem carving demonstrations, hiking trails, two restaurants and a gift shop.
