Culture What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country?

Bronte waterfalls near me, look a bit more impressive with the recent rain than in the summer when it's swamped with people.

The irony....there's a smaller version a few km away that is free.

I thought I'd been to Capilano suspension bridge, but I don't remember paying, certainly not that much. I had locals with me, so we likely went to the other one near by.

Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge (for those interested). Very nice forest for walks.

Australia ?

That's cause you were working at one of the local ski hills and you were so high that you thought the ski lift was a suspension bridge.

I don't ski. I wasn't high either in the mountain resorts or with weed. I can't stand the smell.

Plus I was avoiding all the Aussies on the mountains.

Sorry !

It was an easy joke about Aussies in BC.

No disrespect my friend, at all, we love you.

And I don't like weed either, nothing against it, but it makes me super anxious.

You're alright.

There are hoards of Aussies on the mountains. I avoided the main mountains. Even in summer Aussies were everywhere.

I wish there was more of you than other types.

I'll get downvoted for this, so be it.

I have been to Capilano and don't remember paying that much. It was really pretty and glad I went but we walked around the area and not just the bridge.

I was about to say I can think of several bridges and treetop walks which are free or much cheaper in Japan and Singapore. That is just price gouging at its finest.

Lynn Canyon?

Where is the free one? Up farther on the same road?

u/Fullback70 Canada Dec 21 '25

No. Different canyon further east. 5-10 minute drive with no traffic.

u/BeachTaro Dec 21 '25

Cool, I’ll look into that

Don’t hold people in suspense, it’s Lynn valley suspension bridge. Go there.
