Grouse Mountain’s Lumberjack Show features a crew of champion performers showcasing their unique skills in an impressive outdoor set. The 45-minute show re-creates two logging camps from the early 1900s, where Johnny Nelson from Green River prepares to battle Willie McGee from Blue Mountain to determine the top lumberjack.
The Theatre in the Sky offers Canada’s first high-definition electronic cinema. The feature presentation shown at the top of every hour in the 110-seat theatre is Born to Fly which takes visitors on a dramatic aerial adventure through an eagle’s perspective, exploring four-seasons of scenery, recreation, travel and the natural wonders of Canada’s pacific province, British Columbia. At the bottom of the hour, watch Discovery Channel’s Animal Tracks: Baby Grizzlies. The feature tells the story of Grinder and Coola and follows their journey to the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife.
    Historic Gastown is a must for visitors to Vancouver. Picture a tangle of cobble-stoned streets, mews, courtyards, and Victorian architecture set against a back drop of snow-capped mountains. Or an antique steam clock that blows its musical salute every 15 minutes. Gastown is more than a trip into the past, It's also a bustling modern community. So sit back and sip on a beer at one of the many brew-pubs, eat fresh fish or ethnic food in an array of restaurants, or listen to live music. Shop for antiques, Canadian Native art or look for designer fashions. Whether you are here for a while, or enroute to Whistler or Victoria, don't go home without visiting picturesque Gastown.
