Activity itinerary

Maple Tree Square
  • 15m
When you approach Maple Tree Square, the immersive audio experience will begin and relay to you the sordid tale about one of Vancouver's forgotten serial killers, the Boozing Barber, who prowled the establishments of the area for his victims.
Steam Clock
  • 15m
The Vancouver Steam Clock is not only one of Gastown's most iconic attractions, but also the epicentre of the Gastown Riot which occurred in August of 1971. The hippies had gone too far, and the mayor of the city had had enough. It all came to a head on August 7th.
Komagata Maru Monument
  • 15m
The Komagata Maru monument was erected to commemorate one of Canada's most tragic and regrettable chapters. In 1914, this was the scene of a stand off when the Canadian Government refused to allow the South Asian passengers of a chartered vessel to disembark and instead sent them away to an uncertain future. Hear the whole storey.
Cardero's Restaurant
  • 15m
The beautiful vista on the seawall near Coal Harbour was the scene of a brazen gangland hit carried out in broad daylight during a busy summer evening. Here all the shocking details.
Coal Harbour
  • 15m
The Bayshore Hotel has had many visitors over the years, some more famous than others, but no one could ever quite match the eccentric and bizarre residency of reclusive billionaire, Howard Hughes. Listen to the storey about the time Howard Hughes came to town.
Vancouver Aquarium
  • 15m
The lush beauty of Stanley Park became the scene of a most horrifying assault, one which would leave police struggling to find a suspect and even more challenged when it came to making their charges stick. Learn about the unlikely heroes who finally cracked the case of the Marauder of Lovers Lane.
Beaver Lake
  • 15m
One of the most puzzling and famous cases in Vancouver history is the Babes in the Woods mystery. Two skeletons were found near Beaver Lake and the case would remain unsolved for over 7 decades. Hear the whole storey at this final stop on your Crime tour.
