Bungy Walking! The Suspension Bridge spans 450 feet across and 230 feet above North Vancouver's spectacular Capilano River. But don't worry, even though it sways and creaks, it's very, very strong. Strong enough to support the weight of ten heavy-duty military fighter planes. Strong enough to handle the 850,000 visitors each year. Even strong enough to handle a classroom full of kindergarten students!

Walking across the Bridge, you will cross over Capilano River and enter our spectacular "wild side" which features our Living Forest display.

Park & Tilford Gardens - Top - Back

Consisting of 8 separate theme gardens, the
Park & Tilford Gardens were created in 1968
by a privately owned distillery as a gift to the
North Vancouver community. Despite rezoning
and construction changes, the Gardens have
been preserved and are now funded by the
owners and the merchants of Park & Tilford
Shopping Centre.

The Gardens occupy only 2.5 acres, but the Garden as a whole may seem larger because the entire Garden can never be seen at once. By ingenious screening with hedges, walls and shrubs each Garden is a separate and unique experience.
