The area
Neighbourhood: Stanley Park
Stanley Park is Vancouver's premier spot to get up close and personal with nature and animals. The grassy expanse offers outdoor teahouses and stunning views, beachfront hideaways and splash parks. It is a typical getaway spot for friends and families, especially as it is home to Vancouver's aquarium, and some of its best equestrian outlets.

- Grumpydad2013Broxbourne, United Kingdom9 contributionsWorth a visitWell worth a visit when in Vancouver. It only needs a short time but the poles and their history enhance a visit to British Columbia. Nice little gift shop and cafe with picnic tables under nearby trees.Visited May 2023Written 9 June 2023
- BorntocruiseUKHeathfield, United Kingdom11,197 contributionsGreat look aroundLooking at the Totem poles it’s hard to comprehend how old they actually are. You only need 30 mins to take a good look at them. In front of each one, the notice board tells you all the history of them. They are fascinated to see and probably one of the best collections of totem poles in one areaVisited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 14 June 2023

This part of the park always seems to attract a crowd so please be patient. They have info on each of the poles so you know what you're looking at which makes it so much more interesting. They are colorful, lovely and filled with history.Visited July 2023Written 8 August 2023
- Stewarts Vacation1,035 contributionsIconic indigenous artThere's a collection of 9 totem poles in this area. Each has a plaque providing details about the pole. Well worth a stop to admire the carvings by indigenous artists and the histories of these poles. They are replicas and replacements of the original totems which are housed in museums for preservation or returned to their places of origin. There's also a Visitor Centre.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 November 2023
- akat411San Francisco, California150 contributionsA Special Site to SeeBeautiful to see these totem poles in person. They're amazing art and craftsmanship. I appreciated the info plaque for each one and the identifying characters within the poles. I can tell from other posters that the look of the area is quite different depending on the season but still an impressive site regardless. There was parking nearby, a gift shop with wonderful native designs and a restroom in the same area. I wouldn't have wanted to visit Vancouver without seeing these.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 8 March 2024

We stopped here as part of our cycle trail. So much history, and we'll detailed for explanations. Great colours too. They're by toilets and a gift shop.

A collection of nine totem poles gathered from all over British Columbia. These are replicas of the ones gathered in the 1880. I did think they were in very good condition.

I really enjoyed seeing these totem poles in the lovely Stanley Park, they are also next to a gift shop which has an excellent range and they also sell snacks and refreshments so is an ideal lunch spot. Nice views across the water too.

If you want to take advantage of the hop on off bus service then I suggest u look up on Groupon as there will be many other activities & events at good discounts (20-75% off standard rate).
Canada Place will have many vendors to choose from.
All the best.
Feel free to reach out again.
Welcome to Vancouver 👍😎☀️
