marycang Posted June 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2009 My husband has trouble walking distances (more than 2-3 blocks at a time). I am interested in Grouse Mountain. Can we take a cab from Downtown? What would be approx.cost? Is Grouse something we could do? Any opinions on the Observatory Restaurant? How long should we plan to be there and what is a good time to go? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHappyGal Posted June 27, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2009 On a clear day Grouse Mtn is definitely worth the money. Walking is not a big issue as most of the activities on top of the mtn are concentrated fairly close tot he tram & restaurant. When I go up Grouse I usually spend most of the day at the top as there are several free shows - i.e. Loggers Show, Birds of Prey Show, 2 movies, and of course time to enjoy the Grizzley Bears. You can take a cab although the fare would be a bit high probably around $30. from downtown or ride the public bus as it drops you right at the Grouse Mtn tram station.

Cruise_More_Often Posted June 27, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2009 You can take the Seabus from Downtown Vancouver to North Vancouver. The Vancouver Seabus terminal is right next to Canada Place. When you get off the Seabus in North Van, there's a public bus that is no more than 1/2 block away. That bus will take you right to the Grouse Mountain tram. A Frommer's article here's the link) says it's bus 232. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban trekker Posted June 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi Adele - while the #232 bus will get you to Grouse Mountain it comes in from a different direction - the correct one to take at Lonsdale Quay is the #236. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
