About Vancouver Pacific Central Station

Built back in 1919, the Vancouver Pacific Central Station is a busy transportation hub in the city of Vancouver in British Columbia. Not only is it a train station, but it also serves as the main bus terminal for Greyhound. Built in a neoclassical revival style, this unique building was named a heritage railway station in 1991. 

In the 1960s, B.C. Ferries started a passenger ferry service from the mainland to Vancouver Island, and Vancouver Pacific created a bus service to the ferry as well as the airport, Victoria, and the capital. Located at the junction of the Pitt and Fraser Rivers, the waterfront view is nice as you wait for your train. It looks rather large from the outside but is actually warm and cozy inside.

Vancouver Pacific Central Station has free Wi-Fi throughout the station as well as in the Panorama Lounge. If you are looking for a place to grab a bite to eat, you can choose from Ekki Sushi, A&W Restaurant, or the Cappuccino Bar. Grab a paper, magazines, or other needs at the Gateway Newstands, and you can get souvenirs and gifts from Joan’s Gems and Gifts. 

Fun Fact: The station has been the location of 14 television series and films such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Flash, Psych, the X-Files, and Fringe.

Luggage Storage Near Burnaby Village Museum

About 10 minutes from the station on Deer Lake Avenue, you will feel like you stepped back in time. The 1920s village of 10 acres is a group of old buildings and replicas to help you relive the experience of times past. The townsfolk are dressed in costume to give it an even more realistic feel. Visit the general store for a chat with the clerk, take a ride on the ancient carousel, and see the blacksmith in action at the blacksmith shop. The farmhouse and gardens are great places to stop and get some selfies, and you can hear some stories at the Tram Barn. The gift shop has tons of old as well as new gifts and souvenirs to peruse, and the restaurant is on-site for when you get hungry. Leave your luggage with one of our Bounce affiliates nearby, though, because you cannot bring them with you.

Luggage Storage Near Museum of Vancouver

If you want to learn something about the local culture, take a trip over to Chestnut Street about 15 minutes from the station. The Museum of Vancouver is the largest civic museum in Canada and the oldest in Vancouver. Started in 1894, the iconic round building shares a space with the H. R. MacMillan Space Center so you can visit two places in one trip. For those who want to learn about Vancouver, furniture, tools, clothing, toys, and other objects are abundant. But they also have an Egyptian collection that includes a mummified boy and several animals. The Asian antiques include Cambodian and Vietnamese ceramics, bronze Buddhas, stonework, sculptures, Japanese artifacts from as far back as the 1390s, and Chinese art from the Shang dynasty. Don’t miss the gardens full of flora and fauna. Get your camera from your suitcase before leaving it at one of our Bounce locations so you can get some unique photos. 

Luggage Storage Near Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Head over to Capilano Road about 20 minutes from the station for a fun visit to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Built way back in 1889, the bridge in the trees takes you on a 450-foot walk about 230 feet in the air. Although it is wobbly, the bridge is sturdy and safe but not for the faint of heart or those with a fear of heights. For everyone else, it is a fantastic view of the Capilano River and the surrounding area. Take a walk along Cliffwalk, which is a granite path meandering along platforms, stairs, and bridges through the rainforest. The Treetops Adventure lets you go up 110 feet into the middle of the coastal rainforest on seven suspension bridges. With six different eateries, you have your pick of where to go after you work up an appetite. But leave your bags with us at a Bounce spot nearby first.
