Surrey B.C.

[E.D. man 691]

I am going to Surrey in afew months, just wondering whats to do in Surrey. Can some one name some celiac (sic) friendly restaurants for my dad. And some good single bars for people over 30. And how many casinos are there and which ones hold daily holdem tourneys.

And any other tourist attractions close by.

I tried checking out Surrey on here and there were no postings for the last 365 days. So I would appreciate your help.:D

I do not know of any casinos in Surrey though there would be some across either Patullo bridge in New Westminster or the Port Mann bridge in Coquitlam (or the Alex Fraser bridge, I suppose in Richmond?)

 

In Surrey, there are organic food stores. I would contact one and ask for a recommendation for celiac friendly. :

And I am the wrong person to ask about 30+ single bars (I am not sure there are any singles bars in the lower mainland lol).

These places will have bars, entertainment (River Rock), restaurants/food/buffets, etc.

Also, forgot to mention, I doubt if there is anything touristy in Surrey or nearby Surrey. However, in New Westminster (easy to get to via sky train), there is a Quay, and boardwalk along the river, Queens Park, and older heritage homes. In Ft. Langley, not that far from Surrey, it is a cute little village and old HBC trading post or some such thing.

 

Also sky train can take you into downtown Vancouver, to Stanley Park or the beach, and the Sea bus can take you from the sky train to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. Buses or driving can take you up to Capilano suspension bridge, or Cypress/Seymour mountains, or Grouse Mountain, etc.

 

Or, go to Richmond for an Asian experience. Authentic grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. Many malls are Chinese only, all the products, stores, etc are typically available in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc, including food. At a Chinese mall, the food fairs are FANTASTIC. Way better than western mall food fair selections, and way cheaper lol.

 

Surrey is a good location for getting to White Rock (beach, fish&chips), and the US border into Washington state. It usually takes about 20 minutes to cross the border, maybe a couple of hours total to get to Seattle. You need a passport to cross the border, altho good ID can be enough most of the time.

Well I am staying at a hotel that has a casino in it in Langley B.C. I am attending my nieces wedding.

So how long does the sky train take to Vancouver from Surrey?

From the King George station in Surrey to Waterfront station in Vancouver, I think it's about 45 minutes.

Just wondering if the skytrain goes close to the Vancouver Airport!:D

It does. You can transfer from the Waterfront station to the Canada Line & it will take you right out there.

[CourtesanCassandra 167]

Mind you, if you are staying out in Langley, you would have to take a bus from King George station in Surrey to Langley.

There isn't really much to see in Surrey, other than White Rock Beach, and the various parks. I can't really think of anything else that would be a major attraction.
