Capilano Suspension Bridge gets a FIFA World Cup makeover with giant soccer ball
Among the various Metro Vancouver tourist destinations, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is the latest to get in on the FIFA World Cup fun.
Capilano Suspension Bridge posted an incredible video on its social media account, showing the entire team spanning the length of the bridge.
Thankfully, the bridge has a weight capacity of over 90 tonnes.

Under the bridge hangs a giant soccer ball. Not quite as big as the Science World soccer ball dome, but impressive nonetheless.
“Our entire team gathered on the Capilano Suspension Bridge to create a TIFO to kick off our summer season and support our home team,” it said on Instagram.
Capilano, which puts on various seasonal events like Canyon Lights for Christmas and Canyon Frights during the Halloween season, will be celebrating the World Cup with Canyon Kick-Off, which begins on June 6 and lasts till July 19.
“We’ll host an immersive, soccer-themed experience that blends nature and the beautiful game into the perfect match.”
Some of the highlights visitors can expect include country colours woven throughout the park, custom photo backdrops and interactive family experiences.
Additionally, The Cliff House Restaurant will be offering some global flavours to patrons, “no passport required.” Among the offerings is an Australian-inspired Tim Tam Caramel Ice Cream Pie, Belgian Moules Frites, and an Egyptian Baba Ganoush. For Canada, there’ll be a Caesar topped with maple caramelized bacon.
