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. Lunch includes: build your own hamburger & drink. Average length of stay is 1 1/2 hours. We are a seasonal attraction - open late April through Thanksgiving.
