One of my personal favour, very close to your house, 5 minutes drive away. Navigate suspended walkways and tree platforms high above the forest floor. Bring some seeds home from the shop. Nice and relaxing place to be for a few hours. Best is to start from Pacific Spirit Park, walk in the flat trail to the UBC garden. There are bus service outside of the garden.

Sightseeing
I have never been but was told by friend that this is a breathtaking view on the top. If you want to do everything in 1 day, start the Grouse mountain grind, then drive 5 minute down to Capilano Suspension bridge, then drive to the Sea to sky gondola in Squamish. You will be exhausted but these 3 activities are nicely grouped together.
