Enjoying a car-free summer just got even better with Translink. Show your Compass card at some of Vancouver’s favourite attractions, and your route will now include discounts, deals, and special offers. Whether you’re out for a day trip or an evening with family, you’re sure to find something to kick off your next adventure. Here are just a few of the summer spots we’ve partnered with to make the most of the sun!

Four colorful Adirondack chairs in red, yellow, blue, and green facing a mountainous landscape with trees and cloudy sky.

As if you needed another reason to experience one of the best views in Vancouver. The next time you ride transit to take the gondola up the tree line, you’ll receive $5 off Adult and Senior Mountain Admissions. Be sure to stop by the grizzly enclosure and wave a paw at Grinder and Coola!

Traditional Asian wooden pavilion with hanging lanterns overlooking a pond with lily pads and surrounding trees.

There’s no better place to zen out than a tranquil garden in Chinatown. Having previously won the title of the world’s top city garden by National Geographic, this is the perfect place to spend an afternoon in relaxed contemplation. Especially since showing your Compass Card or proof of fare will give 2-for-1 admission. See, you’re feeling more at ease already!

Interior of a museum gallery with Indigenous art, including a large totem pole on the left and a carved wooden panel above the doorway.

Get acquainted with some of the Lower Mainland’s top local artists at this gem in the downtown core. Remember to bring your Compass Card or proof of fare you’ll be treated to 2-for-1 admission! An excellent opportunity to take in and appreciate the Indigenous voices of Vancouver.

Peering into the vast expanse of the cosmos is just the beginning of your visit at this Vancouver staple. Comets, black holes, and supernovas- you can marvel at them all without ever squinting into a telescope. Of course, there’s really no greater phenomenon to witness than getting 25% off your admission. Flash your Compass Card or proof of fare, and be transported at breakneck speeds towards savings!

Six people seated on a ride with safety bars, some raising hands, overlooking icy water and icebergs at sunset.

During a heat wave, a little fresh air can work wonders- Especially when soaring hundreds of feet in the air, feeling the mist of Niagra Falls. Take to the skies with the famous flight simulator that transports visitors across the country in a few moments. And with your Compass Card or proof of same-day fare, you’ll get 20% off admission. Not a bad airfare package, we’d say!

*All offers valid on in-person admission payment only. Limitations apply.
