Canada Place in Vancouver is a true icon and a must-visit destination. Its striking design, resembling a ship's sails, stands out along the waterfront skyline. The complex serves as a multi-purpose venue, housing the Vancouver Convention Centre, a hotel, and the captivating FlyOver Canada attraction. The outdoor promenade offers stunning views of the harbor, North Shore mountains, and Stanley Park. It's a fantastic spot to relax, take photos, or enjoy a leisurely walk. Whether you're attending an event, exploring the FlyOver Canada experience, or simply soaking in the scenic beauty, Canada Place offers an unforgettable and quintessential Vancouver experience.
Functions as a cruise ship terminal, the headquarters of Fly over Canada and a great place to walk around. I personally arrived on a cruise here and the customs process was very easy and convenient, they just ask for your declaration card and that's about it. The following day I had the opportunity to walk around and it provides some wonderful and unique views of Vancouver harbour and it's many sights. You can see the sea planes and helicopters take off and land as well as the ferrys go by. Worth walking to the end for some nice photos and a place to chill.
We visited Canada Place which was the starting point of our Alaska Cruise. Canada Place is a famous landmark and symbol of Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. The Vancouver Convention Center, World Trade Center, Cruise Ship Passenger Terminal etc. are located here. 1986 World Expo was held here. The whole building is made of five fiberglass white sails in the form of a giant tent. Many of the tour buses for sightseeing start from here.
Super nice experience for freshen up your mind. Its bit busy but worth going. If you are going at night time or in windy weather make sure to take warm clothes coz of chilled air. I went there with my parents they loved it.
Fantastic, clean and must visit. You can see huge cruises parked there. Flyover Canada is there as well which is awesome. There are some restaurants, gelato place and gift shop as well. You see beautiful water, mountains and seaplanes flying over and downtown views. Do not miss a walk here.
It's where things are all happening at the Waterfront. With Seaplanes taking off and landing on the water, Cruise ships when they are docked and free transportation meeting points for Grouse Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge ticket holders to the venues. The Information booth is really helpful and you can buy tickets for many attractions here
I just visited the lobby and the surrounding area. Kind of cool to look at architecture. It's a big airy space. Several floors high. Let's say 12 or 20 floors the atrium with some good quality restaurants and lounges.
