Nothing high tech about this ecology centre. Just sound basic exhibits with some interesting info about the local flora and fauna.
This is a great spot to learn of the Lynn Valley area and ecology. Great static displays, interactive ones and workshop sessions. Check out their website to see whats on at the Centre now.
Visiting the Ecology Centre at Lynn Canyon gave us all the information required when visiting Lynn Canyon. Displays are excellent, well worth spending time here.
If you are a local or visitor and it's raining, this is a good place to spend an hour or more. Especially fun for little kids and possibly up to age of 12. Educational
Lots of interesting information presented in a fun format. My 13&14year old really liked it. There's a few nice gifts and postcards to browse too.
Nice place to visit and learn about ecology and the local environment. Beautiful setting with trails to hike nearby and several waterfalls and areas to enjoy
As a Lynn Valley local the Ecology Centre played an important role in my childhood. As daytime nanny is was a favourite spot to bring the kids. The mini movie theatre plays a great select of National Film Board movies and environment themed movies -we always liked to watch the original Lorax movie.This is also a nice spot for anyone interested in the biology, or ecology of a temperate rain forest. While taking an Intro to Environmental Biology class at nearby Capilano University I made room for a return visit because the centre is full of relevant information for students, or even environmental organizations.Great resource, definitely worth a stop in. Admittance is free, but a donation is suggested (I would also suggest it).
Great interactive information centre. Spent about 1 hour before kids got bored. Do it as part of the suspension bridge/walk/paddling visit. Come earlyish as free parking does get filled up.
If you're planning on going to the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, then take a few extra minutes and visit the Ecology Centre, it's only a few steps away. It's very informative about the area
We liked it. It's free, need just few minutes to visit and you can have some informations. Staff is very kind. Is good for kids.My personal advice for other reviewers: be short and avoid personal business ;-)
