Illuminating the breathtaking array of flora and fauna just steps from the busy streets of the West End, this charming nature center at the north end of Alberni St is a great introduction to Stanley Park's wild side. Volunteers will tell you all you need to know about local wildlife, from coyotes to Douglas squirrels, blue herons and black-capped chickadees. Guided nature walks are also offered, or you can wander the park's trails on your own, armed with your newfound expertise.
The guided walks are great value, priced from $7 per person, and you can check the website to see what's on the calendar during your visit. Booking ahead is recommended in summer.
