Jutting out from the end of the downtown peninsula is
one of Vancouver's chief attractions, Stanley Park. This 400ha (990ac)
park offers outstanding views of downtown Vancouver, the North Shore
and the mountains on Vancouver Island. The 10km (6mi) trail encircling
the park makes for a good walk or bike ride, passing Brockton Point,
where there's a fine collection of totem poles. Also within the park
is the Vancouver Aquarium, brimming with dolphins, killer whales and
crocodiles. The aquarium has also recreated an Amazon rainforest,
complete with toucans, piranhas and tree frogs.
