How long does the Capilano Suspension Bridge take?

Visitors mostly spend around 2-4 hours inside Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, which provides enough time to visit the three main attractions (Capilano Suspension Bridge, Treetops Adventure, and Cliffwalk). So If you're wondering how long you'll need – at least two hours is the answer. If you're extremely pushed for time, you could flash your Capilano Suspension Bridge tickets, cross the bridge, come back and exit the park in 30 minutes. Walking across the bridge itself can be done in about 10 minutes, but that really does depend on how often you stop to bask in the glory of nature!

The Capilano Cliffwalk and Treetops Adventure

It's not just the amazing bridge walk that's on offer with Capilano Suspension Bridge tickets. You'll also get access to both the Cliffwalk and Treetops Adventure! Treetops Adventure is an adjustable walkway built into the canopy, 110 feet above the ground. Look down at the forest floor from way above, and look out for wildlife as you make your way through the trees. The Capilano Cliffwalk makes for a heart-pounding experience. The Cliffwalk winds 700 feet around the granite cliff edge and allows you to explore previously unreachable parts of the forest.
