A dramatic and artistically elegant symbol of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games in all of their elaborate pageantry and sense of unifying connection. Delight and awe filled my heart when I saw this cauldron in the center of an elegant pristine plaza, gleaming in the sunlight, with the mountains dramatic and jagged behind it. The dazzling icicle forms connecting at the main cauldron at the center is about the property to the Winter Olympics and an elegant symbol of the Olympics as an avenue of connection and unity. There is an exhilarating ritual significance to this structure, serving as an instrument of the elaborate spectacle of the Games, showcasing the artistry and imagination of one city and one country while at the same time emphasizing the oneness and unity between countries and peoples. For those who are as passionate about the Olympics as I am, this is a captivating site that serves as an emblem of the Olympic ideal of unity and oneness between people revealed through constant effort and devotion and creativity. The Olympics provide a stirring ceremony for the entire world while also celebrating the vision and culture of one distinct city, and this is a brilliant example of that duality. Still, even for those who are not Olympic aficionados, this is a dazzling and crystalline structure that offers one of the most ethereal sites in the city, situated in an immense plaza with a dramatic...

The Olympic Cauldron, located at Jack Poole Plaza in downtown Vancouver, is a must-see landmark that commemorates the 2010 Winter Olympics. This stunning structure, made of glass and steel, stands as a proud symbol of Vancouver's Olympic legacy. Although the cauldron is not lit regularly, it is occasionally illuminated for special events, which makes for a spectacular sight.

Visiting the cauldron is a delightful experience, especially given its prime location near the Vancouver Convention Centre and the breathtaking views of the North Shore mountains and Coal Harbour. The area is perfect for a leisurely stroll along the seawall or enjoying a meal at one of the many nearby restaurants, such as the Cactus Club Cafe or Miku, a highly-rated Japanese restaurant.

The cauldron itself is an impressive piece of art, both by day and night. During the day, the intricate design and the reflection of light on its surface make it a great spot for photos. At night, when it is lit up, it creates a magical ambiance that enhances the beauty of the waterfront.

Overall, the Olympic Cauldron is more than just a relic of the 2010 Winter Games; it is a vibrant part of Vancouver's urban landscape and a testament to the city's spirit. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this iconic landmark is worth a visit to appreciate its historical significance and the stunning...

The Olympic Cauldron in Vancouver on the waterfront was originally built for the 2010 Winter Olympics. It’s in Jack Poole Plaza in downtown Vancouver, near the Vancouver Convention Centre and Cactus Club Cafe . It’s made of five bars of glass meant to represent ice, sits in a pool of water and is very beautifully when it is lit up. It is very rarely lit, as it costs $6,400 to light it up for a few hours. The great, open plaza where it is located is wonderful opportunity for photos with views of the city skyline and the waterfront. Originally there was chain link fence around it to protect it, so even though it’s not lit anymore, you can still enjoy its lovely design. The pixel killer whale is nearby too and there is lovely walks and bike rides to be had along the waterfront trails here. A great spot for an iconic photo of Vancouver!
