We visited the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh) which is located about an hour from Vancouver! It was our first visit and a really great day trip to do with the kids.
If you're visiting on very hot summer day, remember to stay hydrated and stay in the shade when possible.
The Sea to Sky Gondola is about a 12min ride up 885m above sea level with incredible views of Howe Sound and the coastal mountains.
Tickets for the gondola aren't cheap. We went with a one day family ticket that's good for 2 adults and 2 kids. Kids 5 and under are free of charge. If you're local, you can even get a year pass.
At the bottom, before you take the gondola, there's a gift shop, bathroom and a little kids play area.
When we went, there was also a food truck with drinks and ice cream called "Praguery". Unfortunately, the ice cream wasn't dairy-free but the chimney cones were vegan! The toddler loved the cinnamon sugar soft chimney cones which were warm and fresh from the oven!
You can sit outdoors on the deck and take in the views or indoors. There is a small kids "busy" corner in the indoor seating area.
At the top of the mountain, when you get off the Gondola ride, there's a summit lodge and kids play area.
There are many different trails you can also walk around and see the views.
We also stopped by Shannon Falls which is a short walk from the parking lot of Sea to Sky Gondola or park at the Shannon falls parking lot and walk about 10min to see the falls.
