A Grouse Mountain Admission Ticket sends you up the iconic Skyride to the peak above North Vancouver, where trails, lookouts and family attractions cluster around a compact alpine summit. General admission includes a roster of interpretive programs and shows plus access to the Grizzly Bear Habitat and guided eco‑walks, while optional adrenaline activities — from tandem paragliding to mountain ziplines — sit at an extra cost for those who want to push the day past sightseeing.

THE WILDLIFE

Grizzly Bear Habitat and ranger programming

General admission includes access to the Grizzly Bear Habitat and a sequence of ranger talks, owl talks and other interpretive presentations that anchor the summit experience in natural history and wildlife viewing.

What the day feels like

What the visit feels like

A visit is compact and layered: arrive at the base, load the Skyride and arrive minutes later into a mingling of lookouts, theatres and natural exhibits. The summit packs daytime programming — owl and ranger talks, Birds in Motion and lumberjack demonstrations — alongside quieter offerings such as guided eco‑walks and scenic viewpoints; optional activities sit to one side for those who want to add a focused adrenaline session to an otherwise interpretive day.
