2025 Burnaby Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Deer Lake in Burnaby is a popular place to see maple leaves. Every year in early October, the streets and museums around Deer Lake are crowded with people taking photos. At this time, the leaves are the most colorful, with golden, orange and dark red scenes intertwined, which is very spectacular, and complements the old buildings, iron railings and grass. The best time to see autumn at Deer Lake Park Trail and the lakeside viewing platform is a bit later, usually in mid to late October. You can stroll along the trail and enjoy the colorful trees and surrounding natural scenery reflected on the water. The open grassland around the lake is an excellent place to enjoy the tree canopy and the background of the distant mountains, suitable for taking photos or picnics. The main tree species here are: - Maple Trees: These trees turn golden, orange and dark red in autumn, which is particularly eye-catching. - Oak Trees: The leaves of oak trees will turn orange or dark red, adding a sense of color. - Western Red Cedar: These trees are green all year round, providing a beautiful contrast to the autumn red leaves. - Willow Trees: The willows by the lake will show a soft golden color with the change of autumn, which is very beautiful reflected in the lake. Deer Lake is a quiet nature reserve. The autumn scenery is fascinating and is especially suitable for walking, photography and enjoying the quiet natural time.

The Burnaby Country Museum, located in Burnaby deer lake, is very different from the usual museums. It is not like the museums we usually walk around, with the exhibits placed in a large exhibition hall. The entrance on the right is open, through the small bridge flowing water, you will see the train station, which means you have reached your destination😂 The train can go up to visit, and you can try to step on the ding ding and whistle, so in the distance you can also hear the train's humming sound😆 Then officially walked into the village, shops, presenting the life of the old people, barber shops, banks, medical offices, etc. can be seen, the most special is the Chinese herbs shop, this year's every Friday 1-3pm also sparrow 🀄️ activities, I have played there 😄😄 Why playing cards interesting, what does it mean, you know. Another favorite place for children is the carousel 🎠 next to the gift shop, which is actually showing the playground of the year, next to an exhibition hall displaying the previous melody carousel design and structure. Overall, in addition to educational significance, the Countryside Museum sees a large grassy area everywhere, you can have a picnic, you can stroll around, it's really relaxing and relaxing, you might as well spend half a day to walk #OverseasTravel #VancouverTravel #Parent-Child Good Places #Bernaby

If you’re in search of a mall for everything, search no more. Metropolis at Metrotown is British Columbia’s largest mall. With over 450 stores to choose from across three city blocks, you’ll be spoilt for choice. If shopping is not your thing, you can pamper yourself at one of the spas or salons, or catch a movie at the theatre. I would highly recommend Metropolis at Metrotown, Burnaby to locals and tourists alike! It’s a great place to spend the day with family and friends, or even shopping alone! ☺️ #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

|An encounter with a magnificent bloom. 📍 Location: 6776 Grant Place, Burnaby Date: April 6, 2025 Today, I'll take you to Grant Place in Burnaby, one of the must-see cherry blossom streets I've recommended, and it still holds a spot in the top three cherry blossom streets in Vancouver. I've visited twice, once during peak bloom to capture its breathtaking beauty with my camera, and again today, amidst falling blossoms, to capture its ethereal charm with my phone. Though the styles differ, each frame is captivating. Today, I'll share its stunning beauty at its peak. Standing beneath the cherry blossoms, I instantly forgave Vancouver's long, depressing rainy season. The sky opened up to reveal a burst of pink. Grant Place wasn't just a street; it was Vancouver's redemption from the rainy season—millions of cherry blossoms tore through the gloom, their pink petals glowing softly in the sunlight, like pink snow, falling gently into the eyes of every onlooker. In that moment, all the descriptions of paradise in religious texts seemed to materialize in this cherry blossom tunnel. No words, no matter how eloquent, no camera, no matter how advanced, could fully capture the awe and wonder I felt. Each cherry blossom tree here is a masterpiece of nature, its sturdy branches gracefully outstretched, a canopy of petals filtering the sunlight. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I felt the essence of spring fill my lungs. When the wind blew, millions of delicate blossoms whispered like a prayer, even the air blushing like a young girl's cheeks. As young couples strolled hand in hand, the entire street fell silent, like a wedding aisle. Souls wrinkled by the rainy season now slowly unfolded beneath the blossoms' shadows. My palm caught a swirling petal—its lines read: "All gloom is a prelude to light, All waiting will be rewarded, in an April, With a magnificent bloom."

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown in Burnaby, British Columbia, and the overall experience left a lasting impression on us. The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Burnaby, within walking distance to one of British Columbia's largest shopping centers, Metropolis at Metrotown. Additionally, the SkyTrain provides convenient transportation options to downtown Vancouver and Rogers Arena. The hotel staff were exceptional, polite, friendly, and always ready to assist us with anything we needed, making our stay feel even more welcoming. The only downside we encountered was the hotel's buffet breakfast. While it was decent, we found the food to be a bit bland and not quite up to the expected quality for the price. Overall, our experience was very pleasant, and we are happy to recommend the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown to family and friends visiting the Greater Vancouver area.

🎄 North American Christmas atmosphere, at Metropolis at Metrotown, the large shopping center is already full of Christmas decorations, and taking photos with Santa Claus has become a popular activity. 🚶‍♀️ Vancouver's largest shopping center, you can spend a whole day here. 🚗 Suitable for self-driving 🅿️ Free parking

The cold winter is just around the corner. I'm from Shizuoka, so I get excited when it snows lol When I went to study abroad in Canada, it was so cold that it was tough, but the snow scenery in the park was so beautiful! I especially liked the combination of the benches around there and the snow scenery, so I just kept taking pictures. I also walked on the pure white, fluffy snow and had fun by myself ⛄️ Do you have a favorite snow scenery? 😆 ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Burnaby, Canada 📸: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅳ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #SnowScenery2024 #Canada #CanadaTrip #StudyingInCanada #TourismInCanada #Vancouver #Burnaby #Snow

Burnaby Central Park was established in 1891, located in the heart of Greater Vancouver, covering nearly 9 hectares. What's most attractive is that much of its land has been preserved as a well-preserved temperate rainforest ecosystem, with countless walking trails. This includes an award-winning children's playground, sports courts and pitch-and-putt golf, outdoor swimming facilities, lawn bowling facilities, several picnic areas, tennis courts, and several little duck ponds. The wildlife in the park includes gray squirrels and Canadian geese. Because it is located in the center of Greater Vancouver, it is a great place for leisurely strolls.

Good enough size for fun and exercise in Vancouver

#Swimming pool This is the Central Park outdoor swimming pool located in Burnaby, Vancouver. It is usually operated as a rain pool, but there are public swimming pools in the summer, so I checked the time and visited! The water depth of over 3m and the diving board were exciting in itself! My 9-year-old daughter enjoyed diving and kept jumping in and playing in the water. #It's the best #Vancouver swimming pool #Vancouver outdoor swimming pool #Vancouver Central Park #Burnaby Central Park #Vancouver Burnaby
