Digital Orca - Douglas Coupland — Attraction in Vancouver

This is not just a tourist trap, and is definitely worth a visit! I've seen this statue long before I visited Vancouver and knew I wanted to come here during my visit. I was not disappointed. This statue, which has now become iconic, is not only beautiful and unique, but it is also located in a stunning location.

A Surprising and Cool Public Art Piece! 🐋

I stumbled upon the Digital Orca by accident while walking around the Vancouver Convention Centre area, and I’m so glad I did! This isn’t your typical whale statue—it’s a pixelated, digital-looking orca made of steel, created by the famous Canadian artist Douglas Coupland.
