Great spot for skiing near Vancouver!

This was pleasantly close to Central Vancouver - a great spot for me to try skiing for the first time! Workers were friendly and very accommodating. Considering the proximity to the city, Cypress is definitely a spot I’d recommend to local skiers or beginners like me looking for a great stop to try it out. Reasonable rental rates and lift tickets too, which can be hard to find!

Lovely little walking route along the water! Great for a dip on a summer day and still beautiful even with some gloom.

Huge beers + trendy outdoor seating = killer vibes 💯

This place hits the spot if you’re looking for a casual beer garden ambience with pub quality drinks. Maybe it was the huge beer jugs or the really heavy and salty food choices, but I would say in general it’s a bit pricy for what it is. That being said, the location and vibes are immaculate - perfect for a group gathering if a budget isn’t your concern.

Definitely seems to be popular amongst locals!

Beautiful little oasis in Ann Arbor!

This is the perfect nature getaway without having to actually get away! Great for Ann Arbor residents, University of Michigan students, or visitors to town. We had a very pleasant walk through the gardens and loved our visit!

Beautiful venue with world-class acoustics!

We went to hear the Baltimore Symphony live in concert here. The hall was extraordinary in balance - gave way for the “loudest louds” and the “softest softs,” even from the back of the hall. Not only did it make way for gorgeous blends cross-ensemble, but also carved way to hear soloists with ease.

One downside - with acoustics this generous, sounds from the audience are especially distracting. We experienced countless coughs, cell phone noises, and almost offensively-timed walker noise in pinnacle moments of the performance… talk about a bummer. Perhaps better seats in the balcony might alleviate these distractions.

Strathmore - you are so lucky to have this gorgeous venue!
