Fabulous Fall Colours in Stanley Park

A crisp, clear fall day in Vancouver is pretty darn spectacular but absolutely nothing compares to fall in Stanley Park when the leaves are beginning to show off their autumnal hues of scarlet, golden and bronze.

Probably the best time to visit the park is late morning after the sun warms the seawall just a bit, but before you go, head down to Lord Stanley’s breakfast room and fortify yourself with a cup of steaming freshly brewed coffee with perhaps some freshly baked goodies from the pastry tray. Complimentary continental breakfast is served from 7:00am – 9:30am daily.

Everywhere throughout the park is brimming with fabulous fall colours but the seawall in particular truly showcases autumn’s splendour: you can hoof it (on a Horse Drawn carriage tour) cycle it (ask our friendly front desk staff on where to get a rented bike) or just stroll it: no matter how you decide to navigate the park, soak in the burst of colourful fall foliage and don’t forget to take a moment to capture some Instagram-worthy pics!
