Tram Ride only
Description
Learn about the history of Simon Fraser, the life cycle of the spawning salmon and the Fraser River Gold Rush. Each tram has an operator on board that commentates about the three subjects as it pertains to Hell's Gate. After the tram ride - the lower terminal 'village' houses our Simon's Cafe, Gold Panner Gift Shop & Fudge Factory/Candy Store. The self guided Education Center has both films and still exhibits that goes in to more detail about the above three subjects. The observation decks & suspension bridge offer a spectacular view of the International Fishways - which millions of salmon navigate annually enroute to their spawning grounds.
Lots of picnic tables outside for the group to bring their own lunch - or cafeteria available to order off the menu.
Average length of stay is 1 hour (without lunch) or 1 1/2 hours (with lunch)
We are a seasonal attraction - open late April through Thanksgiving.
