Cap Kids

The Capilano Suspension Bridge welcomes all kids to go on an adventure! Cross the bridge which hangs 230ft (70m) from the water and venture through the highest tree tops of North America. A memorable experience for everyone!

Be like a squirrel, getting as high as 100 feet (the height of a stack of 240 pop cans) from the forest floor. Treetops Adventure takes you from one high tree platform to the next on a specially engineered and secured set of suspension bridges. While you're up high, look out for Grandma Capilano. At 200 ft, she is the tallest tree in the forest.

It's way up in the trees in the middle of the forest. When you're at the top, you can see the whole park and the forest floor beneath you! To get there, follow the steps that lead up under the sign for Treetops Adventure. Meet you there!

The original Capilano Suspension bridge was built in 1889. Its first cables were actually hemp ropes. Since then the ropes have been replaced with cables strong enough to hold up a fully loaded 747 airliner! The bridge is 450 feet (137 m) long and hangs 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. Millions of people from all over the world have visited the bridge including rockstars, movie stars, and royalty!

Every year our guests enjoy a total of 10,000 pounds or more of fudge. That's almost 5 tons! Our favourite flavour is Marvelous Mud Pie. Other fun flavours include Strawberry and Chocolate Mint. You just have to come by and try some!

Everyday from June 16th to September 3rd, you can see birds of prey including hawks, falcons and owls - birds like West Jet, the lanner falcon, who is fast like a plane and very skilled at catching smaller birds and bats. He also has a high-pitched, almost screaming voice so you'll always know when he's coming.

Be a Rainforest Explorer - your research will take you deep into the life of a West Coast rainforest, its ecosystem and the responsibility of protecting this particular rainforest, which contains trees that have seen over 6000 seasons.

Fun Fact:
I'm sure you're wondering why the Capilano Suspension Bridge was ever built in the first place. It was simply to get to the other side!
