Reviews of Grizzly Bear Habitat (Zoo)

Talal Alghamdi

Nothing much. 2 bears only. Quite expensive in comparison to other mores actions area same like Whistler. Long q to come inside or out. Very suitable for kids and teens.

Carlos Taylhardat

Beautiful story around how they sheltered these bears.

Mark Prospero

The Bears look healthy and happy, the presentations were very informative and interesting. Great way to see grizzlies without fearing for your life.

Bee Hill

A lot of fun the birthday cake thing was great

Vin Maximo

Great bird show

Naim Kermouni

Wonderful place to visit in Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. Learn about bears and their habitats.

Sandro Antao

Amazing. Saw them eating and they come so close. Definitely go see them.

Firoz Ozman

Got to see bears! kids were super happy.

Helene Childs

Most beautiful place with the most helpful people I always learn something new about the bears and the wildlife :) thanks for being so helpful &fun y'all!!

Pedro Santos

Sleeping bears not visible. Went in the fall. So probably does not count... was my experience though. The hike to it is quite nice and the views are amazing.

Jannis Louw

Very nice you get to see the bears up close. Just be sure to catch them before they go into hibernation.

Rugby 36

Couldn't believe about big the bear was until up close. We were sitting in the coffee shop while enjoying the view.

John Smithhisler

Shows were great. Very crowded but was still spacious enough to get around. Hope you're not claustrophobic. They cram as many people as possible into the tram you take to the top.

John Matthews

We had a great time in Grouse Mountain. So many interesting things to do and see. SHOUT OUT TO ZACH S FOR RETRIEVING THE BACKPACK WE DROPPED FROM THE LIFT. ZACH …

Aidin Ghotbi

Bears are so lovely here

Zeink

Outstanding place where you get to see Grizzly bears from a very close distance while staying safe. They are magnificent.

Julie Levesque

Great time as always. Disappointed that we had to pay full price for off season. Most exhibits were closed last week

rhea rodrigues

It’s awesome to watch the mighty grizzlies go about their daily business from such close proximity. It does concern me that the bears are at the end of the day trapped in an enclosure. However, the Grouse Mountain facility treats the bears very well. They only have the bear outdoors in the summer months.

Dvir Koenigstein

This is the place to be close and personal with 2 Grizzly bears. The web site for mt. Grouse offers special bear breakfast early morning. Sign up way ahead of time to secure your unforgettable breakfast :-0

Tina Evans

Very large exhibit. We'll maintained.

André Papa Garcia

Pity it wasn't snowing

Dannie Ward

The bears seem very happy and healthy, love the extra enrichment activities included for them, such as feed scattering, no predictability, provisions of nest building materials, etc. Gives us tourists opportunities to see bears up close without dying, which is always a plus.

Jevon Pearse

Top of the mountain they have two rescued bears. Be sure not to come during hibernation months!!

Valeria Hernández Ballona

We went just right after the bears woke up from hibernation so we had the opportunity to see them and it was nice.

Leonardo Yahve Garcia Solorio

You can see they have a lot of space and the people that work there modify their habitat when needed. The bears are lovely and are aware of their situation. Its beautiful but its a little sad if you think it a lot, like any zoo.

Todd Taylor

Fantastic, I highly recommend this attraction!

Dane Latham

Great place to get up close and personal with big bears. They seem happy enough in their larger enclosures which appear to mimic the local habitat well.

Angelica Lopez

The bears are huge! Fortunate to have seen them.

Stephen Taylor

Best grizzlies I've ever seen.

Sandy Powis

Fabulous. An OMG moment when we got to see both of them and they were enjoying the cool rainy weather. Breakfast was great to.We we're impressed.

AlanaSophia

Great difficult hike, no views if cloudy, good value for $15. If you hike up and take gondola down it’s $15. Also includes attractions at the top, and chair lift to the very top.

Al W

Grouse mountain resort is a great place to bring the family for a wonderful outdoor activities during both summer and winter time. The tram ride up and down the mountain is fun for all and the children get a grill from it. The staff are knowledgeable and super friendly to all its guest. The view of downtown Vancouver is fantastic..

Sorabh Mishra

Neat exhibit with a couple of Grizzly Bears.

D K2

Really cool. Try to go when they "feed" the bears. They do a little explanation about the bears. It's really good info about the 2 bears.

Arvin Amini

I never saw grizzlies in person and they look cute! You can get fairly close to them and still be safe!

Geri McMiller

Gorgeous views from the tram ;)!

Puneet Vanniar

Always fun to watch Grinder and Coola. Must watch when they're being fed by the Park Rangers.

BHANU PRAKASH SHIVAGANGAPPA

That grizzlies are a great watch! A small reward for a strenuous grouse grind hike.

Brett

Family had a great time here. Friendly staff. The two grizzly bears are beautiful. The sky tram ride and bird shows were fun.

Marc Pilmann

Really worth a visit when around Grouse Mountain. The habitat is interesting for both adults and young kids. The rangers do a great job and explain both the value of the habitat as such as well as the specific information about the two grizzlies that live there.

Mina Rose

amazing place, luckily catch the last show in a year. those guys were so funny. my 9 years old was soooo happy

Chad M

If it's your first tome coming to Grouse Mountain I definitely recommend trying breakfast with the bears. The group is small and it's before anyone else comes up the mountain. The breakfast itself is very good. Featuring a buffet style breakfast with smoked salmon, eggs, pastries, sausage and bacon etc. A wonderful way to start your day on Grouse Mountain.

Cécile Chattlain

Great view on Vancouver from Grouse mountain and the bears look happy and healthy!

Rowdy KiloNiner

The habitat for the bears is really nice, it seems to include stimulation as well as resembling their natural habitat. We saw the bears both up close and from the ski lift.

Dylan Soo

No shortage of views at the top of Grouse. One of those views are of a couple resident grizzly bears that meander around their habitat. It gives viewers a close up view of just how magnificently large and powerful bears can be. Be sure to check out the movie in the chalet to see how they came to be where they are today.

John Tong

2 orphan bears super cute as they cronch on some snacks. Staff are super happy to talk about Coola and Grinder!

Amit Hattimare

Went in early July. Wear shorts and T-shirt. A water bottle is a must. You'll get to fill it before starting the hike. There's a Starbucks at the base from where energy bars can be taken though they aren't super necessary. A light jacket will help once you reach the top and when you come back down at night. It's not needed during the grind. Regarding bears, they're hard to see. They're sleeping most of the time. I could see them only on my third visit. Good luck with that.

Karn Sohi

The bears are cute

Michael Landa

Great to see and learn about the bears!

Tillmann Peter

Excellent view over Vancouver and the Vancouver Bay. On the mountain you can hike or visit some shows e.g. lumberjacks.

Keegan Gauthier

So cool check out the lumber jack show it is so cool theres comedy and history behind it and I absolutely loved the hiking and the bears really amazing

Jennifer McConnell

Those 2 bears are so well behaved! Lots of room to roam around in and chill on rocks, in trees, beautiful spot!

D G

Nice place to get to know Coola and Grinder, resident bears of the resort.

Fleur Marlyn Teng

This was an adventurous experience! Climbed up the mountain and was really feeling accomplished for being to do it (because I don't really trek). Reaching the top felt good, and the attractions were great. Seeing the grizzly bear in its natural habitat was nice, and it looked peaceful and relaxed. A good place to go to unwind and enjoy the scenery and nature.

Milan Kubik

Bears are great , fairly lively in the early or late part of the day.

Fernanda Marín

It's pretty cool being able to see grizzly bears that close of you.

Fernanda Marín

It's pretty cool being able to see grizzly bears that close of you.

Gi_shmoe

Neat to see two large and dangerous animals from up close

John Yun

Did Snowshoe Grind trail this day. Great snowy weather! Very much fairy tale like... Great trail for beginners to Intermediate hikers.

Bill Roques

A good range of attractions included in the price. Most of the staff were enthusiastic and informed though a few were less focused but never less than good mannered. The film show in the Theatre dragged a bit, until you get to the bit about the bears. The bird show is brilliant...funny, surprising and informative. The grizlies...awesome, everyone just starts smiling and even laughing.

Anurag Saini

The gondola ride to the peak and back, the lumber jack show, the birds in motion performance, and the scenery makes it worth spending for the tickets for your out of town guests. Personally, I hike the grouse grind trail and take the gondola down.

Mario

Great place for kids. I thought the enclosure was small for these bears, then again I do not know if they were rescued before coming here. I can only give this place one thumb up after trying to share my cheetos with what looked like "the friendly one".

Jarrod Haynes

Amazing! The bears have just woken up and are very docile which is entertaining to see.

matthias falls

Awesome experience. Best hike I've ever done. Cool grizzlies at the top

ruin koo

Stunning view. Pleasure path to walk with snow shooes

JoJo Anne

One our stops on the cable car.

Jared Greanya

Lots to do and see here. The views are amazing and the does are entertaining and informative.

Aarohi show

It was fun for kids to see 2 ???? Bear together.

Tara Elizabeth

Loved every minute...snoeshoeing, the educational tour...everything. great day!

Reh Kat

Visited it in summer. There are several shows there: birds show, acrobatic show, bit longer walk through the nature with a guide and a small guided talk near grizzly bears in a reservation. There is also a a café near bears and a restaurant on the upper station if gondola. It was beautiful, even though too expensive for us - 60 cad just a daily entrance including lift to the upper point, where I couldn't go because my son was under 1 meter.

Brandon Wills

Guide provides interesting facts and history while bear watching.

Leslie Lewis

Finally took an opportunity to be a tourist up there. I loved it! The bears seem to be treated respectfully, the logging show is hilarious, and the raptor show is interesting and informative

Martin Satyahadi

Bears are hibernating inside

Azin Kaveh

It is a good tourist attraction and great for hiking. There are Lumberjack Shows 3 times a day. If you visit I highly suggest you stick around to watch it. There are bears that you could look at and take pictures of. There is snow in June but it is warm in August.

Ena Point

Going to Grouse Mountain was a great experience. I'm afraid of heights but the gondola was so smooth and quick! The Grizzly Bear Habitat was lovely and we happened to go on their bear-thday so it was extra special. Worth the trip!

Ania Kruger

Love seeing the rescued bears up close and personal! Always a highlight of our visit! ???????? Make sure you visit when they are not hibernating!

Inna Sekirov

Experience may vary depending on how close the bears decide to come - we had an absolutely amazing time, with both of them coming very close to the fence, hanging out by the people for a long time and generally being very curious.

Scott

Kicking horse mountain had a way better reserve. These bears looked sedated and were fed a kibble looking like dog food to keep them in view I assume. We also walked around the whole inclosure in under 10 minutes.

Jason van Ek- Veenstra

What a treat to see these bears up so close.

Daniel Elliott

Very cute bears, up close and personal and loved the bear talk

Emily Driver

Attended at the perfect time! During the summer Grinder and Coola have acres of land so can be difficult to find (or see) however the enclosure gets smaller just before their winter sleep so couldn't miss them! There was a guide telling us so much information and answering questions whilst watching the bears wonder around! Just beautiful!

Indrajeet

Great place to find two orphaned bears rescued and given a protected habitat. The bears are a delight to watch. If you want to ensure you get a glimpse of the bears, try coming after they wake up in the morning (generally around 8-9 or so). But then, they're like us afterall, and might have a lazy day. They hibernate around November and tend sleep more before going into hibernation. So, you might want to time your visit accordingly. The guide was kind, informative, patient, and helpful. He answered all questions, no matter how silly. Kids will absolutely love it. And please, please, I request you not to feed them or startle them in any way. Just enjoy their magnificence in silence. (During my visit, I noticed one of the bears chewing on a toothpaste tube lying around. That's so irresponsible of visitors. Please don't be that guy.)

Michael Clemente

Amazing close up of the bears!!

anthony kulas

Fabulous place to visit, go on cable chair's awesome viewing.. Even lumberjack show is very entertaining ????

DoubleNVision

Saw one sleepy boy. Enclosure looked very well maintained and expansive. I felt other bears would be jealous of being so well looked after.

Kim Ordish

These bears are huge and were hugging each other when we were there...so cute.

Yayuan Zhao

The closest place to DT Vancouver to see real bears. Two bears are lovely and lazy during summer times. They have a huge place to walk around. They are hibernating during winter time.

Rachelle Lim

We have so much fun there and miss the place Grouse Mountain so much ......

Agustin Mex

So sad. Wish we had done our research before hand. We found this place super last minute. Paid to up to the top which isnt bad at all but we missed all the shows. It has wonderful views from the top. And "Da Bear" were up and about.

Jenny Pham

The bears were out. One was grazing close to us and the other was sun bathing. Electric fence between you and them so you feel safe and they look cute instead of scary.

David Plimmer

We were 10' from the bears. The crowds were watching the Lumberjack show and there were 5-10 people watching the bears. They are magnificent.

Momentum Consulting

Fantastic! We loved how close you can get to Bears

Bob Geis

We stopped at Grouse Mountain and rode the tram. It was a great place.

Rihanna

Very interesting

Alicia Lilly

Beautiful park, nice experience.

Zyriel Jade

I enjoyed the ranger talk while watching the bears forage. Lots of interesting info about bears and how the park cares for them.

Edgar D

Even though the habitat itself seems nice to us hunans, the bears looked rather sad & depressed. Maybe this was due to the gloomy weather.

Hanz T.

Two HUGE grizzly bears. Grinder and Coola. Went there during the Nature Talk or something. So the Bears were really close to the fences. One of them played in the water. Never seen a bear this huge and this close. Went back there later around 6pm but the bears were tucked in between the trees pretty far from the fences.

Norbert Dr. Sipos

The Lumber Jack show is worth tó see, the bears are amazing. The drind track is challenging a bit, you have tó be honest with your strenght.

Lorriann Rodriguez

Grouse Mountain was a nice place to spend the afternoon. It’s definitely a touristy place and more of a family vibe here. We enjoyed being able to walk around and there are plenty of activities (additional cost for a lot of them) to do. It was a very foggy day but the chairlift was so magical and mystical. If you go with children, the bear habitat and the lumberjack show were good activities!

Ruthann Bartello

Super cool! Loved seeing the bears - looks like they have good space.to roam

Debbie Preuss

It was AWESOME to see the Grizzly bears up close in safety while they enjoy their normal habitat!

Nio Gio

Grinder and Coola are both male orphans who were found around the same time. Rumors are the park had a coyote back then, Grinder and Coola use to play with the coyote. Come early to see them sleepy stumble around while eating breakfast.

Lara Begg

Loved seeing the orphaned Grizzly Bears and enthusiastic ranger talk. It's great that they try to keep them as natural as possible, even hibernating in winter.

Heebah Sultan

Wonderful experience even when it is pouring rain. Cool experience seeing the drizzly bears and the lumberjack show!

Frank R

Great place must visit to see Grizzlies up close????

Gilbert N

A few kilometers from downtown Vancouver, you can already experience a touch of the wild...they do beautiful shows as well, very entertaining for all walks of life..

Nathan Woods

If you want to get up close and personal with a Grizzly Bear, this is the place to be. Grinder and Coola are very accommodating... Keep in mind the bears go into hibernation during winter months. These bears are getting a little older now, so if you haven't seen them be sure to before they pass on...I can't 8magine Grouse being able to keep more bears after this...

Lies Veldeman

We love Grouse Mountain. There's always lots to do, even if you're not into skiing/snowboarding. Sunsets from the mountain are stunning.

Chakrin Rojanawekin

Highland view to discover Vancouver good restaurant sky helicopter and zipline experience.

Karry Dinh

Great views of the bears

Ankita Agarwal

It is always fun to see the two bears. This time it was right after hibernation period.

James Stables

Grinder and Cooler rule!! The bird show is awesome and concise. Grind is awesome.

Sebastian Isaza

Awesome experience and you can get some amazing pictures

Francisco Garcia

Really cool experience. I worry a bit that the habitat might be a bit small for them. Awesome tour guilds. The ride up on the tram is a bit nerve racking if you don’t like hightail. Still would recommend.

Ольга Демидова

It’s not easy to see a bear but it worth it. They are so beautiful! A must see if you haven’t met bears before. And if you have met too.

Nayeli Padilla

If you go to the mountain I recommend that you climb it up and down the cable car, so you can appreciate the nature of both ways.

Mark Tansley

We hiked quickly past the grizzly enclosure onto the Crown Mountain.path. We started on the Grouse Grind and finished on the top of Crown Mountain.????. Re Gregorie Wright guided tours. Elevation gain 2100 meters over 20 kilometres. 7 hours both ways. One stop 15 minutes.. zoom zoom zoom.????

Liz Lee

According to person here, last year grizzly bears went into sleep and they shut the door on 12/1. But they started sleeping from 11/15 or so. They are 19 years old, and they came here when they were cubs. Big one weigh around 1060 pounds and smaller one 900 something. The day was nice when we visited so we could see grizzly bear outside under the sun trying to eat some grass(?) and just hanging around. It was very nice.

mehdi milani

The view and two orphaned grizzly bears are thrilling to see.

Angela O.

Very cool. The bears dont seem to mind the crowds and will find their own hidden areas to take their afternoon naps. The staff are very knowledgeable and more than willing to give out informatoon for any question you have

Jeff Lin

What a beautiful view on Grouse!

Karim Lallani

We loved visiting the grizzly bears. It was great to be so close to the bears. They were eating pumpkins when we were visiting which was fun to watch!

Bridget Coolick

The bears are amazing and it’s a fun and scenic trip up the mountain. Definitely worth it if you are in the area.

Dhananjay Chavan

Up close and personal with the bear couple !! And yes they are not shy.. they will show up and even show their calm as well as wilder side when time comes.. it's a very good experience to see this animal in its own habitat..

Ricardo Piccoli

How docil they are on their habitat. Love it

Jehanzeb Naeem Khan

The bears are fun! If you're up Grouse mountain, you should take the time to "meet" them! They're …

Avneet Singh

It's a mountain, you climb it (actuall climbing not using the gandola to go up there) you reach the top, you feel awesome.

Max Dondo

Saw a lovely pair of Grizzlies.

Guy Constantineau

Visited the top ot the mountain with our son and his wife on our first trip to Vancouver. Did not expect to see a zoo here and we had to have a picture with our friend. There are also nice sculptures. But you also have to look at the city from the top of the mountain.

Alice

Cutest rescue bear ????

Sheila McLendon

Great place, very informative guides.

Steven Joe

Saw the bears very close (through a bit of a small fence). Amazing to see!

Rodolfo Dickson

Bring the kids or a date cause you get to walk around in nature also, you get food with a spectacular view

Jo Lindstedt

Very nice park! Grizzlies are beautiful and the staff is super friendly

Bob Wolbeck

Very cool. Bears were napping when we first arrived but were up wandering around late afternoon.

Kamaldeep Singh Sethi

Beautiful view from the mountain. You can choose to trek, will take about 1 hr. Lovely view from top. Bird watching and spotting grizzly bears. Take enough water while trekking.

Abi Hicks

Lovely seeing the bears as we didn't see any out in the wild, they're very cared for

Edward Vargas Perez

You can't go wrong vi visiting this place, the only down side is how expensive it is but if you a tourist visiting Vancouver you have to come here and spend the almost 60 CAD admission ticket.

Cristiane Aigner

I love to visit this mountain! I have the annual passes just because each season is a new atmosphere. You must visit it!

James Smith

Great place to visit. Super cool to see the bears up that close.

Slavik Fursov

Too many lines: line for gondola (and if you are with small kids - its a really bad experience, when people are pushing their way to gondola), regular lines to lifts, crowded paid parking. There are better resorts, than this.

James Coles-Nash

Got within 10 feet of the Bears on our last trip, I sure wouldn't want to meet one in the wild!

Kirk Dewhurst

Really cool to see 2 grizzly bears ???? on top of Grouse Mountain. This habitat has been here for 20 years. There seems to be a good amount of space for them. We were able to talk with the bear expert and learned all about the bears. I didn’t know there were bears ???? on top of the mountain ⛰ so it’s really neat to see them. The bears ???? have been in captivity for so long that they will live out their lives here. This habitat is on the top of Grouse Mountain ⛰ so there are washroom facilities available here and other things to do here.

Todd

It was cool. We visited in the early evening and the bears were very active. One of them even put on a bit of a show during bath time.

Ali Pah

Two poor Grizzly bears have been confined in a relatively-small fenced area, enclosed with electrified metal fences! Lots of people had gathered to watch the bears. It is still hard to judge whether those two poor bears are more dangerous and considered threats to other creatures, or humans who have done so bad to the environment, have put the species of many many animals in danger of extinction, have destroyed the forests and the natural habitats of many innocent creatures, polluted the air, the mother nature and the landscapes and whose damages continue on a large scale! :(

ALLE ADEOLA

I enjoyed every bit of time spent up there in the mountains. It's winter so I couldn't see the Grizzlies because they're hibernating. Anyone who is out to see the Bears should go at another time of the year. The tramp ride was also smooth, except that it was much slower on our way down due to wind gusts. As such they stopped taking people up the hill and people were practically turned back, so you might want to check what the wind forecasts says before heading down there.

Seth Greenland

Amazing experience for those who haven't had the privilege of viewing Ursus arctos up close. Friendly staff were knowledgeable and the bears were stunning.

Ingrid Moon

Ziplining is well worth the money. Eye of the Wind is a great view. Saw both grizzlies and a barn owl. Food was good but super expensive. Bring water, a jacket, and proper shoes. Don't plan to take the skytram down at rush hour, it's over an hour long line.

Javier Huertas

Rewarding spot after the hike, it can get very crowded on the weekends.

Sanjib Dutta

It was nice to see the orphaned bears in their huge well-maintained enclosure and they were a hit with kids of all ages. ????????

nitish kumbhar

Incredible big Bear.Sometimes you need to wait for them to come out

Eric Y

I love those bears! They are the cutest thing on this hill

Ghreza mohammady

Great opportunity for hiking, Sundays are busy with some hiking races Try to have your own food , food is $$$ There some eagle and owl show if you can catch , bear show , Zip lines are great and safe

Francis Matchett

Best family day in a long time and even the Grizzly Bear's put on a show. From the lumberjack competition to the Raptor in flight skills demonstration it was fun. Down side. Food is not the best. More work to be done. Pack your own lunch.

Sam SmorCington

You can get within inches of these guys and only a few people have ever been eaten. Probably better than any zoo if you want to see bears.

Joy Jung

Good place to see Grizzly Bear before snow season

Fred Futch

Our party of three loved the Grouse Mountain experience. The scenery was spectacular, enjoyed the gondola ride to the top, and all three shows were great!

Kapil Tijare

These bears are so cute and always playful. We loved this place.

Krish Purohit

Great enclosure on the top of the mountain for the two rescue grizzlies. The grizzlies look healthy, and are huge, and there's ample space to view them unobstructed.

Mr Ait

We had great time

May Zin Myint

Very lucky to have been here early enough to watch the Ranger feed and weight Coola and Grinder! Beautiful bears ❤️. Get there early and watch Grinder boss Coola around. At 10am there is a info session on the bears and they love hanging around with their handler so you see them a lot during this time!

Mel & Bri Hartman

Hands down a fantastic experience ! And kudos to Grouse Mountain for saving these 2 bears !

Greg Lytle

Fantastic! Bears were active and playing with each other. Enclosure is impressive and the staff are very knowledgeable.

Matt Stanley

Great looking place. Well kept, friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Bears were very tired of course but really cute. Overall great experience

Rishi Bhabutta

Great way to see some grizzlies up close!

Philip Carter

This is for the habitat which is part of the larger tourist facility at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately the two bears there could not be rehabilitated back to the wild so they had to be confined to some sort of facility like this. Some may feel that it's sort of like being in a zoo but the bears have a range to wander and don't have to come out where the tourists can see them. However they do come out for feeding time and it was great for us to see them as we had seen black bears in the wild in Alaska but not close up and never seen a grizzly. They have a nearby habitat where they go into for hibernation. It was a chance to see and learn about these animals.

JV S.

The trip is worth it. Good to see the peakest of Vancouver. Just dont like paid parking. Expect people with cars and in a place where it is always busy and crowded, parking should be free especially if the admissions is as high as 59 dollars per person.

Wayne Lloyd

Great place to go! Grizzly bears are the best. You have to see them as they so huge and healthy! Theres also a lumberjack show and a Raptor's bird in motion show. Very good value as you can spend the whole day there.

Ben Hurlbutt

Super fun spot to go see the Grizzlies up close and personal.

Christian Zane Clado

Great tourist attraction when visiting Grous Mountain during the summer. The Grizzlys look well taken care of. A really cool experience to get up close to such an amazing animal!

James Donison

We were face to face with two huge grizzly bears that were being fed watermelon to lead them to weigh scales. We lucked out and followed them the whole way. FYI: we were separated from the bears with an electric fence and other barriers. One of our favourite parts up at the top of Grouse Mountain

sayar samanta

We were lucky to see the bear. The place is well maintained and good amount of security is also there. The playing area of the twins are very large. Will definitely recommend to all of my friends and others.

Michael Healy

A great day out for the family (of all ages). Genuinely pleasant fun, spectacular scenery (view of Vancouver and port), and there is still a veneer of Canadian politeness and good manners that lubricates the whole operation. It's not the opera or Shakespeare, but definitely worth doing. I suppose it's a bit 'touristy' but there's only so much hiking through mosquito ridden swamps at the base of glaciers that a body can take!

Natalia Gubareva

Always a hit with my son! Great place to take kids to. So much to do and so many shows all year around!

Kimberly Cook

Wonderful! If you have never seen a grizzly bear, you will definitely enjoy this experience. Take note...they let the bears do their own thing and don't force them to come out...do if it's not feeding time, you may or may not see them. We …

swerk26

Very cool to see grizzly bears so close

Marius Pavel

Beautiful animals, well taken care of. We enjoyed the lumberjack and the bird shows. They have a nice adventure park for the kids that enjoy zip lining and climbing.

Gurmeet Singh

Finally able to see 2 Grizzly bears after a long struggle.

David Fahey

So close to Vancouver with Avery good bus system. Walked in sneakers in snow for 15 minutes from gondola that week took up the mountain. Get there early before it's too crowded. Bears just recently got up from hibernation. Well worth it.

Hossein Shishegar

Good place to see bear!

Soroush Shahres

It is so amazing when you listen to the story of these to gigantic grizzlies. Thanks to the informative staffs.

Thanos Devito

Bears had lots of space to roam, and areas where they could be away from people. They looked very happy and well-nourished.

David Hong

Cool to see a live bear in its semi natural habitat.

MUSTAFA AL-MGADMEE

very beautiful

Carly Marciniak

My kids loved watching the bears, and the information about them was super interesting. The staff very patiently answered all my 4 year olds question.

MLee Larson

This is not a zoo, it is a ski hill with a great deal of summer options as far as entertainment goes. They have a birds of prey demonstration, zip line tours, mountian biking, and a giant windmill. Not to mention a theater and 3 dining options, almost forgot they also have a shop that sells clothes and ski wear on top of the mountian. I suggest booking a dinner in the fine dinning restaurant because then the skyride or tram/gondola is free. They also have all the standard ski hill activities as well as snowshoe trails and tours. They even have after school and weekend camps or lessons for teenagers that live nearby. Winter or summer there is lots other than just a couple of rescued bears. Remeber bears hibernate all winter long.

Bhagwan Athare

Mountain refuge for endangered wildlife sanctuary where endangered animals can explore and play, they are safe and secure. Research, education and conservation center on the mountain. The Refuge also offers leading-edge interpretative programs that make learning about nature fun and fascinating - and it’s all included in Mountain Admission Ticket.

Ashmit Tuladhar

Beautiful intense hike. The Grizzly enclosure is beautiful. Saw 2 big bears.

Soroush Gh

Great place to visit. Beavertails is awesome wish we had it in town.

Kevin Parrot

Good nature talks with Grinder and Coola

Evans-Claude Sabbi

It's always a great time roaming around the park especially after a long gruesome grouse grind hike. The Bears were very playful and the staff who was around the habitat was very informative as well. Managed to squeeze these two pics while up there as well.

duaneology

No better way to spend the day than up at Grouse Mountain! Check out the grizzles, the lumberjack show, the treetop playground.

Roberta Rocha De Marco

Grouse Mountain is one of the best choice for snowboarding, if you are staying in Vancouver and you want to skiing, ice skating, trail and so, you must visit this place. You can go easily by normal bus from downtown.

Michael Messer

Beautiful panoramic views of Vancouver. Grizzlies at play.

Joel McNair

Bears have lots of room to roam while letting you get close.

Marius Pavel

Beautiful animals, well taken care of. We enjoyed the lumberjack and the bird shows. They have a nice adventure park for the kids that enjoy zip lining and climbing.

Minerva Flores

Super cute and amazing animals to watch. They're in a safe and natural habitat which it makes it more special to see. Recomend it for families.

Charmaine Kwan

Hiked up the BCMC trail to grouse mountain and the views up here are amazing! There also a few shows you can enjoy up here including the lumberjack show and bird show! Also 2 grizzly bears are seen playing with each other which made my day!

Mark LeMessurier

Great place to see rescued Grizzlies up close!

Meghan Pelly

Beautiful views of the city and the ocean. Fun ride up there the only thing is they like to really pack the people in the gondola. Once your up there there is a limited amount of things to do if your not paying extra for anything. Lots of hiking trails. Fairly good lumberjack show and an extra chair lift up the mountain.

Tyson Watt

I was reluctant to support animals in captivity but was lucky to catch the information session. Amazing animals and amazing story, definitely worth the visit.

Anindya Chowdhury

The bears are cute and barely a short walk from the chalet.

Kimberley

We loved it! They are so adorable, huge and so much fun to watch!

Di Wu

So glad to see them!

K Kennedy

The Grizzly bears Coola & Grinder are generally out & about during the summer & they're definitely not camera shy. They usually hang out by the upper or lower pond during the day & are very accessible & easy to see. I always check them out before or after my hike.

Camila Silva

To see a grizzly bear was the best thing. They are beautiful animals, Grinder and Coola you can see 2 very different personalities, Grinder is such a cheeky playful bear, and Coola a bit more cool and collected posing for the camera.

Matt Gilmore

The bears are small, and sometimes it's hard to see them.

Cathy Nguyen

Grizzly bears Grinder and Coola are up at the top of Grouse Mountain. They have a decent habitat and seem relatively happy. There's a video about how they came to be up at Grouse shown in the Chalet as they were both rescued from the wild. There's a small interpretive centre and the bears come up really close to the fence. Beautiful animals and while I wish they were free and roaming, I understand why they are here. Rare you'll get a chance to see grizzlies from such close range.

Ross Guthrie

The whole experience from the team up to the team down exceeded my expectations. So much to see and do, so beautiful in every direction, great facility, great patio, food, beer etc. Could spend a while day.

Joshua Gilmore

Great place to see some real Brown Bears ("Grizzly") up close. There are also excellent talks from park rangers about the bears and how they came to live in this refuge. Also check out the birds of prey and lumberjack shows nearby.

Priscila Guerra Luzuriaga

You can see the bears from up close while you are able to learn all about their habits in captivity. They are astoundingly cute and Grouse keeps them in pretty good shape. The are definitely the stars of the mountain.

Carrier Family

Our favorite part of the mountain visit!! Very knowledgeable staff!

Chris B

I love these grizzlies. Their well taken care of, not like a zoo. Try to visit on a weekday if you can, or get here early in the morning. :)

Kimberly Pham

Great place to look at Grizzly bears. The observation decks are spacious and with a nice clear view of the ground where the bears hang out. It is a lot much fun watching them play in the water and surfing around the area.

Akash Singh

The Grizzly bear habit is one of the nicest exhibits up on the Mountain. Rare sightings of the bears do occur, but do remember they do hibernate during the winter so be sure to come check it out during spring/summer/fall. There are various vantage points to see the bears around, so walk around the area, and you may get lucky!

mohinder singh

Nature beauty is very fine.To go up and down through rope way is interesting.Entertainment programmes are very interesting.People from diffrent countries reach there.

Mark Carter

Beautiful mountain just outside the city. I took the free shuttle bus from Canada Place. The cable car ride was awesome and at the top even though some areas were closed we managed to see the famous grizzly bears.The theatre presentation was great and an assistant explained the films and showed us a claw from one of the bears. It's an amazing place.

Alisson Trillo

Nice place to learn a bit more about grizzly Bears and other kind of birds ! Great view from Vancouver ! You can hike up to the top and then take the gondola to go back down ( $10) if you not feel like hiking up you can just purchase a day pass, wich is $56 for the day. If you are a resident ($49)

Warren K

Awesome! Very cool to see bears, and the volunteers and setting on grouse mountain are all awesome!

Lauren Wong

The grizzlies are so cute & I like all the complementary activities at the top of the mountain. The person telling us about the bears were very informative & the information was interesting! When you're at the top of the mountain, would definitely recommend seeing the bears.. I mean, when else are you going to get to see bears & feel safe?

Constance Linder

Don't skip this to save a little walking once you get to the top of Grouse Mountain! One bear came right near the fence to pose for photos. Park ranger standing nearby patiently answered my questions about the bears.

Frank Hannig

Seeing these two beautiful animals up close is an amazing experience and one that most people would love. The bear rehabilitation center located on popular Grouse Mountain and requiring a gondola ride up is one of Vancouver's most visited attractions. Highly recommended.

Iain Gilchrist

This place is fantastic,plenty to see and do all day.

John Karanja

Great experience.... Bear watching and the bird & lumbar shows.

Tom Young

This is a great day out for everyone. Grouse puts on a number of different shows ranging from comedic lumberjack shows to birds of prey shows. It was great to see the two bears, Coola and Grinder making full use of the sanctuary built for them

Catherine Rogers

This was the favourite part of our trip to Grouse Mountain. We had a long time viewing the animals and had all our questions answered.

Zachary Zsasz

Sooo cool, the bears almost seem to want you to take pics with them, but turn off your flash.

Eilidh Jack

If you like a challenge I would recommend climbing up the grind to the top of grouse mountain. Once at the top you have access to all the amenities and just need to pay $15 for the gondola down.

r n

Cool and fun definitely a place to check while you are up in the mountains

Vishwakant Padhi

What an experience to see these bears in their natural surroundings and getting a chance to witness the beauty and diversity of nature. Highly recommend for anyone who wishes to see bears up close having a fun time.

Irit Brantz

It was nice to know that they take care about the wild life. The bears don't live in the nature like in Banff. Very nice area. Friendly staff around.

Tim Bucktoo

Great attraction, well worth the price (it's not cheap though!). Great views. Don't miss the Birds of Prey show and definitely don't miss the lumberjack show - the cheesiest but most entertaining thing I've seen in years - very funny great for kids and adults alike. Cafe is OK, not great, very crowded - better off taking your own picnic.

Louise Curtis

This has to be one of the very best places to visit in Vancouver!! I could spend all day watching the bears! You can get so close, but are completely safe. The staff are very friendly and happy to share information and stories about Coola and Grinda. Loved this experience!

Maxman Williams

Super cool to get so close to sick amazing, powerful and majestic animals. I could have hung out with them all day. Worth the trip to the top, they aren't shy, they're out during the day and seem to enjoy the attention.

Ron Lange

The grizzlies were good to us today, they posed well

Bulldogs4Premiers

A nice ride up the mountain on the gondola to be greeted by cool wind and swirling fog. Then a fantastic experience seeing Grinder and Coola and hearing their story. So many other things to do up there but unfortunately our time was limited. Next time in Vancouver we will make sure to spend more time up on Grouse Mountain.

Violette

Really cute and they don't look unhappy or mistreated at all

Ariel Rival

First time to see Grizzlies up close and personal

Rob Simpson

Lots to see and do. The zip lining was a ton of fun. The lumberjack show was very entertaining. And you absolutely have to see the grizzly bears.

Margaret Lu

The bears were really cute. They sat on their hind legs like Teddy bears and ate grass. There's plenty of space to take pictures. If you're already on top of the mountain, definitely worth taking a look.

Pat Kelsall

Loved seeing the home of these 2 rescued brown bears Never happy to see wild animals on show however the raptor man explained these were captive bred birds used in falconry and he was very knowledgeable... Enjoyed his show

Eric Beauchesne

Awesome and the bears are so majestic!

sebemy Yeo

Nice day out, grizzly bear ,lumberjack and bird fly over is fantastic.

Alison Knott

Love getting up close and personal with Grinder and Coola!

Mark Sims

Beautiful bears when they came out, very good photo opportunities. Long wait to get the tram back down was the only negative.

Tomislav Matica

Amazing large grizzlies

Darlene Buttazoni

Bears habitat is very well done. They have great care

Mike Haro

Beautiful place with various shows to watch. The only thing I didn't like is that there wasn't any posting of what times the shows where actually supposed to run. The only place we found the times was at the chair lift, which you had to walk a little way out of the way to get to it. It would have been nice to have signs at each show location as to when the next show time was.

Tim Westman-Barth

The whole mountaintop was nice, the bears themselves weren’t out and about so we didn’t actually see them, but there was plenty else to see and the lumberjack show was highly entertaining, definitely recommend. Choice of food is limited at the top.

David Pritchard

This was really a neat experience being able to be so close to a bear!

T S

Amazing experience seeing the bears from a close distance

Paul Onderwater

Grizzly bears in an enclosure. Unless you took the athletic Grouse Grind up to here, you will have to pay to get this high up the mountain. Prices are fair, and as we were living in Vancouver, we would get annual passes so we could bring guests.

Vinh Nguyen

The two bears are orphans found lost without their mothers. I guess this is better than leaving them out alone in the wild. As for the space, it's pretty big, with a big den for them to stay dorment during the winter. The space also has a big pond, covered with big trees and small plants.

Melissa Smith

Exellent day trip to see the the bears coming out of hibernation before they were released into their 5 acre pen for spring .....beautiful scenery from the top of the mountain over vancouver Exellent coffee shop ....although for 3adults 1 …

Sean MacLean

So much fun to see the bears. Go early in the morning to catch them eating before they nap mid-day.

Carlos Perales Flores

They are so adorable ????????

Laura Lowrie

AMAZING!!!!! I was lucky enough to see both bears up close and it was phenomenal. They are mesmerising.

Mohammad Najafi

My son loved the show, view was speechless, Nature was clean and staff was very friendly

Remko De Bie

Once at the top enjoy the view of the city. And walk of the strain of the grouse grind hike.

Amy Fd

So much info given and bears look amazing

Jolanta Prokopowicz

I was lucky to see them. There were two bears walking around, keeping eyes on the public; and more the weather was fabulous.

Alex Skippen

They were cute and if you hike to the top its free

Asiyeh Safarpour

Grouse Mountain continues to offer must-see, must-do experiences that no visitor to or resident of Vancouver should miss.

Heather Jones

Loved just driving up there. Riding Cable car, chairlift, watching the bears, enjoyed the Lumberjack show very entertaining. Great views over Vancouver. Worth the trip.

Daniel Davis

It capped off an amazing visit to Vancouver. The skyride was smooth and fast. The views are the best around. The staff have a good sense of humor.

Rob

It is a great place to get close to bears. They are orphan bears that have been given a nice place to live. Depending on the time of the year they might be hibernating so if you want to see them you need to avoid Winter.

low ball

Love them. Check out the live dencam to see them hibernating.

Stephen Watson

Great idea and well presenred by the staff on the glacier, however the manager was the rudest person I met in the whole of Canada. We were booked for a 1pm tour according to the tickets downloaded from THEIR website, we stood around until 1.15 then when we asked What was going on no-one could answer. This so called manager came over looked at the tickets and said there is no 1pm tour!!!!!........ no apology......nothing. then when i said they are your tickets she snapped and said " IF YOU'LL LET ME SPEAK " you can go on the next tour. What an obnoxious woman, spoilt the whole expreience and made me wish i had never booked it. On reflection (with a sour taste in my mouth) it was overpriced for what it was and the glass observatory they take you too aint that much either. If anyone reads this from the resort, get rid of that vile woman she is destroying your business, just look how she made me feel to write this 4 days after my trip there. I would happily discuss this experience with you too.

Saskia Tielemans

Nice ride with the cabin elevator to halfway the mountain. Lumberjack show is very nice, funny and courageous. Orphan bears brought up here live in big habitat, to see from up close. Beautiful. Chairelevator brings you to the top of the mountain for a nice view over Vancouver and to visit a turbine. All together we spent almost 3,5hrs here, including slow (!) ride with both elevators.

Cathy Traughber

It was foggy and cool yesterday when we were there. Cool enough that the bears were quite active. They were in an easy to see area until they went to take naps on the hill around 3pm. The rangers expected them to nap only about a half an hour.

Michael Kent

Amazing trip loved seeing the bears and the birds in flight. Spent 6 hours enjoying grouse mountain and 4 hours trying to get off the damn mountain because they are ill equipped to deal with power issues( apparently a car accident caused power to be shut down to the mountain) and the sky tram wasn't running right.

Peter K

This is a must see if you make it up to the top of the mountain.

George Capen

Take the time to watch the movie in the main lodge...it explains the bears in much greater detail. Several movies are on a loop so allow an hour to see all of them

Margaret Barber

Amazing views. Lumberjack show cheesy but entertaining and impressive. The bears were incredible. Ziplining is a pass though if its windy.

Jay AirwolfSniper

2 large male grizzlies. We got really close to them. Kids loved it.

Stephanie Jackson

Love seeing the beautiful grizzlies. Been visiting them since 2006, now they are 19 years old and considered senior citizens. Moving a little slower but still playing in the ponds with sticks!

Wandy Santana

Amazing. It's impossible go to Grouse Mountain and no visiting grizzly bear

Michele Henry

Beautiful! The bears were fantastic to watch. The guides were very knowledgeable.

A Singh

It was an amazing experience at Grouse Mountain. The gandola ride was great and then we had an amazing bird in motion show. It was a different experience. We saw Grizzly bears thereafter. After that we had an amazing lumberjack show. It was an adventurous show. They have various food shops on the mountain. Most of the stores have vegan options. Rest room a are also available on the mountain. Pre book online to get better discount.

Shurooq Al Lawati

So many activities to do and very organized. Do not miss the zipline!

stephen atkins

Good place to visit and ski

David Devin

Very cool bear habitat. If you're lucky to see the bears. If not, you typically have to hang around. According to the rangers, they will move around after their nap.

Janice P

Unbelievable! Spectacular! There are no words to describe the opportunity to see these majestic giants!

Robert Monico

Really cool to see the Bears in their habitats. Staff are super friendly!

Dawn Peters

Enjoyed walking around and seeing the Rescued Grizzleys

Nicole Hatty

Always love coming to Grouse but it's a shame they treated their loyal members so badly over Covid. The poor customer service really impacts how I feel about our membership... so unfortunate.

KSP

Just loved this place at Grouse mountain. The 2 bears were around and there was some show being shot so they were being given food which was hidden on trees so they were finding it and eating.

Julie Longfield

What a fabulous habitat for these amazing bears to be placed. plenty of room to roam about in, well cared for and the chance to view at close quarters is an opportunity not to be missed.

ade whitmarsh

Lovely day,lumberjack show was good,great views & we saw the 2 bears.

Lynn Penny

Cable car, chairlift, lumberjack show and 2 wonderful bears. Superb scenery and a free shuttle bus from downtown or travel with the locals on the sea bus and the public bus. Great value.

Anna

Great experience - the staff tells you about grizzly behaviour as you're watching them hang out/play. You can see the bears fairly closely - at least as closely as I'd want to get to a grizzly! If you're at grouse - definitely check it out!

Jean-François Brun

Amazing visit ! Don’t miss it

Claire Gilchrist

This is an amazing place and the grizzly bears are so close and well looked after.

Nicholas Phan

Staff really friendly great place to zipline also best experience closed up with the bear

Erika S

Hit or miss if the two bears decide to be around but when they are, it is truly amazing. They come very close to fence to check their visitors out

Dwight Valencia

Great outdoors experience for the whole family.

Greg Powell

The bears were very active the day we were there, which meant we got to see them quite close. Good viewing area

Ar esquivel

There is a chalet, a bit above ground where you can watch the bears.

bob smith

Two bears bored as fudge with gawking humans. ????

David Vallieres

The gondola ride up and down is an exhilarating experience. The bewrs were beautiful. Good restaurant. Plenty of activities to engage in.

Ingrid St. Amand

Wonderful views of the mountain.

Nita Dickinson

Walked up the BCMC trail up which was very hard, took about 1 3/4 hours but worth it for the views once at the top. Make sure to take your own food and water as its expensive and pretty ordinary food at the top. The bears are awesome and the bird show was also great.

Sofia Lz

Bears were super cool. Come right up to the fence and sniff you.

Sammy H

After a challenging hike we were lucky enough to see both Bears up close! Impressive animals, humbling experience to see them so close up. The reason why they are kept here is because they were found as cubs without a Mum, and had to be cared for. Would be dangerous to release them as they have grown accustomed to humans feeding them...

Pavic Ng

In the morning time is the best to watching them daily activities

Thelma Stephens

We were really lucky the bears came out of hibernation the day we visited. It was amazing to be so close to these wonderful creatures.

Niwal Alvi

Kind of hard to find the bears at first but it's worth it

Ann Sampy

Seeing a beautiful bear so very close was simply fantastic. There was a rangers talk too which was very interesting. I just wanted to stand and watch these magnificent animals. There are other free attractions on Grouse Mountains too. A great place.

Luella Wait

Not much to see.. you just go over the top in a chair lift. Only slim chance of seeing bears.

Jess Strongman

Great to see the bears, and the size chart next to their enclosure to be able to get a perspective of size- kids were amazed!

John Deausy

Very cool. Enormous and a beautiful habitat.

Shahid Mehmood

Bear was probably on drugs or something. Very unresponsive and lazy dude ????

Scott Lindsay

2 male grizzlies living here; Koola and Grinder. We arrived early enough to catch them eat and got a great view up close. Later on enjoyed a really informative ranger talk. A good experience for all ages young and old.

Charlie Ha

Watch the bears cool down in the pond. Also feeding time was amazing to see.

Martin Saunders

Amazing close up views of bears in an environment that is as close as you can get to natural

Bisa Mitrovski

Best to go on a sunny, cloudless day so you can see Vancouver from the top. Be prepared to pay extra for parking. Prices are expensive, about $200 for a family of 4 with 2 younger teenagers. The best part was the free chairlift at the top and the bear enclosure. Zip lines and going to the windmill tower cost extra. I guess another way to nickle and dime tourists.

Mark24XX

Big fan of the lumber jack show and the Birds in Motion show. You can tell they care about the environment and animals there. The hot chocolate was a little expensive at 5 bucks for the powdered stuff but it hit the stop on a cool day up the mountain.

Miguel Erosa Esquivel

Beautiful, and amazing, don't forger the free shuttle on Canadá place to get There

Hala Zbeidi

A great place to see Vancouver from the top. Zip lining is GREAT! But there’s lots of walking. There are lots and lots of activities to try. I would definitely recommend it to anyone because of the variety of activities that anyone could do.

Janine J

Great to see the rescue grizzly bears and learn about conservation efforts. Generally I hate to see animals in captivity but this habitat is good and especially interesting to watch the video about how Coola and Grinder came to live at Grouse Mountain and the impact they will have for orphan bears in the future.

Doreen Vaillancourt

They were feeding the bears so they were active, got great pictures, can get quite close. Staff very knowledgeable. Enjoyed presentation.

Victor Yeung

The grizzly bears are doing well there.

Bastien Grignon

Beautiful viewpoint on all Vancouver ! You can hike to go on the top, little bit hard to do because it's most of the time stairs for 2.5km, but the view worth it and it's expensive to take the gondola (~50$)

wanda lloyd

This is a first class refuge with the welfare of the grizzlies always a focus. I was so impressed with the habitat, informative staff and enthusiasm of everyone involved with Grinder and Coola's well being !

Regina Paltis

You never know how energetic the bears will be but when we were there they were very playful. Although it's crowded, you can get fairly close to the bears and get some great photos. Don't miss the video in the visitors center theatre about the bears before you visit the actual bear show so you know the animals' history.

Lesley Bunting

A great place to visit. Must be capable of low impact walking, quite hilly and some distance between attractions. Well worth a visit. Loved the bear and bird shows and best of all the chairlift ride to the higher level. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food and drinks available and were reasonably priced.

haim Altman

Nice point of view of Vancouver area. Nice place to spend 2-3 houres of fun.

Elisabetta Valiante

The place is beautiful, with fantastic views and enjoyable activities. Even if I expected it to be crowded during the long weekend, it was almost unbearable. Long line to get the shuttle, to get the food, to pay for the food, to seat for eating,... It looks like the place needs some reorganization to keep up with the increasing number of tourists.

Jesica Fera

Sometimes is hard to see the Bears but it's cool that they live in an open space and they can walk freely

박혜린

Good place to see the bear at close. This time the bear slept but hope next time see more active bear :)

Carolyn Browne

The bears were so cute and it was amazing to be so close to this magnificent animal.

Emily Baird

I cried when I seen the bears, they are just so precious. They looked very happy indeed. Grinder was being silly and rolling about in the snow, he appeared to be digging a hole and would start play fighting with Coola then back to rolling …

Jess Holmes

Super amazing the staff were very knowledgeable about the grizzlies and super nice!

Adrian Lee

Grizzly bears Grinder and Coola are up at the top of Grouse Mountain. They have a decent habitat and seem relatively happy. There's a video about how they came to be up at Grouse shown in the Chalet as they were both rescued from the wild. There's a small interpretive centre and the bears come up really close to the fence. Beautiful animals and while I wish they were free and roaming, I understand why they are here. Rare you'll get a chance to see grizzlies from such close range.

Val Collins

Unfortunately we visited on a very misty and wet day. Couldn't do much because of the weather so this was a very expensive trip to see the bears through the mist.

Bindu Saju (BinduVideos)

A well known tourist attraction in Vancouver. There are free shuttle buses from Canada place to Grouse Mountain. My family took the Gondola ride to top. The view is stunning. You can buy food from the shops at the top. The temperature will be cooler than the city. Hiking or comfortable walking shoes will be great. we watched the lumber jack show. it was fun. There is a nature walk. A guide will walk with you to the up to where the bears are living. The guide will explain to you the trees and plants in the area. If you are lucky, you may get a glimpse of deers or birds. There are two bears. They are having their life there. A handler will explain the story of bears and their lifestyle. There is a small shop near the bear place. They have coffee and snacks. Then you can have the skyride. On a clear day, it will be amazing. The day I visit was foggy. It is a great experience.

Robert Nolan-wilcox

Fantastic journeys both up and down, weather was perfect

Betty Damianidis

A great place full of activities to partake in.

Harvy S. Takhar

Great sanctuary for the captive bears, over 5 acres big. The Grizzlies seem to be out and about in the mornings!

Karin Zizek

It's a great place for tourists, well laid out, lots of different activities such as a lumberjack show, hang gliding and bear sanctuary. It is a little sad these bears are locked up but their habitat looks authentic.
