Located in Lynn Canyon Park, the Ecology Centre houses interesting displays on the area’s rich biodiversity, including dioramas and video presentations. Look out for some smashing tooth-and-claw taxidermy as well as exhibits on the history of Lynn Valley, plus an interactive children's area complete with its own cool slug display. While you're in the park, don't miss the free-entry Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge.
