Totem Poles

Indian Totem Poles: British Columbia Indian’s coat of arms carved from western red cedar and each carving tells of a real or mythical event. They were not idols nor were they worshiped. Each carving on each pole has a meaning. The eagle represents the kingdom of the air. The whale, the lordship of the sea. The wolf, the genius of the land. The frog, the transitional link between land and sea.

This place is very beautiful, nice atmosphere, nice view, you can admire the view of the sea. It's a good place to come for a walk and take pictures with the statues. and ancient sculptures I recommend this placeVisited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNo

Wonderfully placed with tourist gift shop right next door - close to the light house - great walk not too far into Stanley park. With a visit - most of these totem poles are fairly new.

Great place to see a variety of totems and get the story of each part. the Gift shop is one of better gift shops around Vancouver to take some indigenous Canadian gifts back home. Good variety of style and price catering from kids to grandparents.

Being able to see the Totem Poles was the highlight of my Vancouver trip. I was able to learn a lot more about the traditions of the First Peoples and the meanings behind each totem. Wonderful atmosphere, well located within Stanley Park, and next to a nice little gift shop for those who wish to purchase some things. I highly recommend visiting the Totem Poles when you are in Vancouver!

Seeing the crafts of first nations in Vancouver is a privilege and the totems are very meaningful and beautiful. There is a small cafe and gift shop with delicious bakery next to the attraction.

Indigenous cultural symbols, the totem pole, can be experienced at Stanley Park. Every symbol represents its own history. A must visit spot on Stanley Park.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Love this attraction in Stanley park. Good to see the description of each totem, very informative

Great place to visit. I have been here many years ago but was just as enjoyable coming back

Very cool and very nice. Something you don’t see very often and in a nicely accessible area of park!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
