Visited on a bright sunny day in April and there are some stunning photo opportunities. I don't know why but I find something quite stirring and emotional about Olympic venues. I felt the same about Barcelona, and of course London. I hope I get to test this theory with Rio some day! So, 36 years on and the stadium is... More

I've only been here a few times, a nice place to walk around and see i do really love seeing the building for some reason it's quite intruiging. Going to the top is a treat and a great view. Being an Canadian this place gives me pride, it's history.

I grew up near the stadium... this place always brings back good memories. Nice space for bikes, rollerblades, picnics, etc..

You must take the ride to the top of the tower. The view is incredible. This is a great place to take photos; you can see for miles.

Interesting to see the first olympic stadium in Canada in a suburban area. Very grand...not very lively but it has some events going on throughout the summer. If nothing else, it's a good bit of Canadian history to experience

The complex is now 36 years old and yes it looks dated but don't let that put you off because the history of the place is fascinating. The tour of the stadium and pool complex is really interesting and its great to see that the facilities are still being used today. The views from the top of the tower are... More

A ride up the funicular gives you great views and picture opportunities. But the stadium roof is on so you can't see into it. You can get into the swimming stadium and watch the divers practice but the baseball stadium is closed to the public.

Got the metro here. Not really well signposted to the cable car ride to the tower. It was very quiet and the footpaths are not extensive. The price to go in the cable car to the top of the observation tower was as high as the tower itself. Its not worth the price in my opinion. Tourist pay it, because... More
