Summer challenge! 🎢 Looking for a summer advent Summer challenge! 🎢 Looking for a summer adventure that will have your kids talking all season long? 

@grousemountain has an exciting new Gravity Coaster that’s a must-try for families!w Located high on the mountain beside The Cut, riders twist and turn through the forest before popping out to breathtaking views of Vancouver then returning to the moutaintop without leaving the coaster. 

We love that the Gravity Coaster combines just the right amount of thrill with incredible scenery, making it a hit with kids (min. 3 years old), teens, and adventurous parents alike. 

FYI: Children under 9 must ride as a passenger with a driver aged 16n or older. 

The fun doesn’t stop there, families can also ride the Skyride, visit the resident grizzly bears, watch the famous Lumberjack Show, and take in the Birds in Motion demonstrations.
