Our visit to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park was highlighted by a trip to the Capilano Trading Post Gift Shop, where we hoped to purchase souvenirs for ourselves and our relatives. The promise of a 10% discount with our annual pass was a nice perk, but unfortunately, our experience at the cashier left much to be desired.
Despite presenting our annual pass and being assured that the discount would be applied, we were surprised that it was not reflected on our bill. This incident was not the first time we encountered such an issue within the park, echoing a similar incident at The Cabin. Upon bringing this to the attention of another cashier, we had to go through the tedious process of having all items rechecked and discounts reapplied.
While the gift shop offers a beautiful selection, the inconsistency and lack of follow-through in customer service detract from the overall experience. It's disheartening when promised discounts are not honoured, and we hope that steps are taken to ensure such lapses are addressed promptly to maintain the park's reputation...

Unlike all other staff at this park, these girls are rude, extremely blunt and cold and they roll their eyes at you if you are even bothered by their negative energy. Never fails. Every single time I try to buy something here I get the same experience at the centre purchase counter. Never buying anything...
