Less touristy and free than Capilano, but a different experience. Both are cool, but I prefer Lynn Valley. Wonder hikes and has an eco centre.

This neighbour hood is very up and coming. Not the industrial area it used to be. Lots of history. Walk along the water, visit Lonsdale Quay. Too many amazing places to eat and drink.
