Capilano, North Vancouver
More infoCanyon Lights comes with a built-in honesty test. Before you go, you're both completely fine with heights. Then the suspension bridge, lit up over the canyon, asks you to prove it in front of a witness. Do the bridge first, while the bluffing is still fresh. The Treetops Adventure and the Cliffwalk are lit too, so whoever gripped the railing gets two more chances to rebrand it as admiring the view. Then there's Wildlight, a 3D projection deep in the rainforest where a black bear, a coyote and a Great Horned Owl come to life, which for most people is the ideal format in which to meet the first two. Finish with hot chocolate and live festive tunes, a civilised venue for the final ruling on who held the railing harder. Book a timed arrival window online first. The park lets you stay an hour past closing, which leaves plenty of time to appeal.
Book a timed arrival window online in advance and arrive early. Parking is limited, $9 for up to three hours, so the free shuttle from downtown Vancouver is the calmer choice on peak days. Cross the lit suspension bridge first, while you're both still claiming to be fine, then do the Treetops Adventure and Cliffwalk. Save Wildlight for the comedown, then find the hot chocolate and live festive tunes for the verdict.
