Visited: 04/06/2023.nnThe steam clock was quite interesting, and has lots of information boards telling you how it came to be.nWe might have found it more interesting if it was functioning properly, some of the mechanism balls were missing, and the clock was out of time with both our phones. It is meant to blow steam every 15 minutes but after 20minutes - still nothing. Likely requires some TLC.nnWhilst it is a fascinating contraption and worth having a look at the marvel of invention from the time, you don't need to stick around for it too long.
Went here early on Saturday to avoid crowds. Unique technology. It whistles every few minutes. Good place to take pictures. But no shade in the location since it’s on the sidewalk. Lots of coffee shops nearby. Best to come here in public transportation since parking is very limited.
This is a quaint unique area. I really enjoyed taking a walk here. I've visited Vancouver many times, but this was my first time here. It had a European feel with cobblestone sidewalks. I went on Easter weekend.
Surprisingly it was not crowded on weekend that we visited. Clock isn't really big as I had imagined. It whistles every 15 minutes.nnFor City view and amazing photos, plan to visit during night time.
3/17/2024nnIt's kind of cool and we got to walk and see the area so that was nice. I'm not sure, having seen it, I would feel pressed to say it's a must see. It didn't start on time so wait a couple extra minutes.
