This episode has two locations.
1.  Sharon and Helo on the Bridge/Sex Scene
Harbourview Park. The best access is by parking at Pet Smart, 1302 Cotton Drive, North Vancouver

Check out the story of the 13th Colony visiting this site on their blog.

Travel Tips: The bridge and the sex scene were filmed in Harbourview Park. The bridge is currently being reconstructed, so there may be no reason to visit. Please contact us if you have any recent information. Thanks to the 13th Colony for the amazing pics!

2.  Baltar's house
Tidewater Way, Lions Bay, BC

Travel Tips: Baltar's house at Lions Bay is another location not to be missed. Park in the public lot near the water, and use the public beach access. Don't be like us and spend at least half an hour taking pictures of the water, ourselves and the water, the rocks, ourselves and the rocks, and not notice the house behind! Near the washrooms is a raised grassy area where you can enjoy a spectacular view (the one on the bottom left) of the house and the water--perfect for a picnic (we've had two--one on each trip :D). Even the ~35-minute drive from Vancouver is amazing, with a postcard view around every turn.

Both locations in this episode were in the same park.
Robert Burnaby Park, at the south end near the baseball diamond, located off Edmonds and 4 Street

Travel Tips: There is a parking lot right in front of the baseball diamond. Follow the path on the right field (right side) of the baseball diamond into the woods. The tree where Leoben covers Laura's mouth appears right away. If you turn left and continue, in about 10-20 meters you'll come upon the location in the bottom photos. The location of the second photo is more difficult. The key is to find the tree in the foreground--it's much narrower in real life than it looks in the pictures, but it's intact, exactly as it was years ago when this was filmed. This site beats the Kobol sites for tree matching!

Location Notes: Kent indicated that the swing set was close to the entrance to the forest. The 13th Colony verified this at a meet up in Robert Burnaby Park. They were able to match the swing set area to a behind-the-scenes photo and shared their findings with us!

Travel Tips: Adjacent is a pic of the entrance. This tunnel leads to an underground parking garage on West Cordova Street. You will be taking your life in your hands to take a photo here (I lived, but Anne did point out the 'no pedestrians' sign that I didn't even notice until I came back). The owners of battlestarlocations.com take no responsibility for and advise against attempting to get this shot!

This episode has three locations.
1.  Helo/Sharon at stable
North Shore Equestrian Centre, 1301 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver, close to Capilano University  
North Shore Equestrian Centre Website

Travel Tips: This is a private business, but very welcoming to visitors. Use the website above to contact the owners before you go. When planning a trip to North Vancouver, click on its category on the right to see all the locations you can visit. The sites here are within minutes of each other.

2.  Six on the Gravel Road
Inter River Park (visible from the Equestrian Centre), North Vancouver

Travel Tip: This site is visible from the Equestrian Centre, virtually from where Sharon was using her binoculars. It  has changed somewhat over the years (now paved instead of gravel). To get a better match to the screencap, you would have to go to the park.

3.  Baltar's House

Tidewater Way, Lions Bay

Travel Tips: Baltar's house at Lions Bay is another location not to be missed. Park in the public lot near the water, and use the public beach access. Don't be like us and spend at least half an hour taking pictures of the water, ourselves and the water, the rocks, ourselves and the rocks, and not notice the house behind! Near the washrooms is a raised grassy area where you can enjoy a spectacular view (the one on the bottom left) of the house and the water, perfect for a picnic.  We've had two, one on each trip. :D Even the ~35 minute drive from Vancouver is amazing with a postcard view around every turn.

All locations in this episode were filmed on the campus of the University of British Columbia.
UBC, 6265 Crescent Road, Vancouver

1.  Interior, Interim Meeting of the Quorum of Twelve
The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts

Location Notes: UBC is another must-see location. Most of the areas are open to the public with the exception of the main theatre (the top photos). Hours are Tues-Saturday, 12 pm-5 pm. Sunday and Monday it is open around show times. There is pay parking right near The Chan Centre that is ideal for seeing all the sites on campus. They're all quite close together.

2.  Exteriors, Interim meeting of the Quorum of Twelve
Exterior, The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and nearby Rose Garden

Below is a photo of the West Mall Centre, dressed as the Delphi Museum for 'Kobol's Last Gleaming II.'  Photos are copyright Maurice Woodworth and are not to be re-used without his written consent. Our photo is included for reference.

Travel Tip: Used in many episodes, Simon Fraser University doubles as nuked Caprica in Kobol's Last Gleaming II. The West Mall Centre (right across from parking, as pictured) was used to represent the facade of the Delphi Museum. The match of Helo and Sharon at the bottom of the gallery was taken at the Transportation Centre.  

Finding a map on campus can be difficult, so use an online map like the one at the beginning of this post to help you plot your route through campus (or bring it up on your phone while you're there).


2.  Interior Delphi Museum 

This set was constructed in the old Woodwards building in downtown Vancouver. This building's roof is also where you see Six, Doral and Sharon standing in Litmus. It was torn down several years ago.

This is a photo of Widgeon Slough, dressed as Kobol for 'Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II.'   

Travel Tips: The road to this area is private and gated; there is no public access. As a side note, the popular Twilight series filmed here as well.


4.  The Opera House
The Orpheum Theatre, 850 block on the corner of Smithe and Seymour Streets, Vancouver

Another look at the stage at the Orpheum Theatre, dressed for 'Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II.'

Travel Tips: Appearing in numerous episodes, The Opera House is an amazing spot to visit. In July and August, The Orpheum Theatre provides public tours that cost about $10 per person. The tour is two hours long and you get to explore the Orpheum from basement to attic!  An article about tours in 2011: Orpheum Tours.

Our tour guide, Arthur, was such a nice guy. There was an orchestra rehearsing while we were there, so we had to wait quite a while before we could get on stage. At first, Arthur would only let us peek into the theatre, then after a few more minutes of exploring, he let us quietly step in and walk a few meters to stand and listen. Finally, he got comfortable enough with Anne and me that he let us sit in balcony seats and enjoy the music. It was amazing. The orchestra rehearsal was scheduled to end at 12:30 pm, but we got worried as they seemed to be in the middle of a very long piece as the time approached. In the end, they stopped mid-piece and packed up their stuff on the dot of 12:30 pm!  It was AWESOME to be on stage.    

Travel Tips: This area is the stairs just before you enter the academic quadrangle. I couldn't resist recreating this screencap as best as we could with just two people (and my limited leg-acting skills!).  

Finding a map on campus can be difficult, so use an online map like the one at the beginning of this post to help you plot your route through (or bring it up on your phone while you're there). We recommend parking in front of the West Mall Centre (aka the museum at Delphi!) as the best way to access all the sites at SFU (see photo, click to enlarge).

This episode has three locations.
1.  The Opera House
850 block, corner of Smithe and Seymour Streets, Vancouver (downtown)

2.  Kobol - Raptor Crash Site
Facility run by Metro Vancouver--no public access

Travel Tip: Used in many episodes, Simon Fraser University doubles as nuked Caprica in 'Scattered.' The West Mall Building (right across from parking) was used to represent the facade of the Delphi Museum. Finding a map on campus can be difficult, so use an online map like the one at the beginning of this post to help you plot your route through campus (or bring it up on your phone while you're there).

This episode has two locations.
1.  Kobol - Raptor Crash Site and Area
Facility run by Metro Vancouver

Travel Tip: The road to this area is private and gated; there is no public access. As a point of interest, the Twilight series also filmed here.

2.  Kara's apartment + parking
The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver

Travel Tips: Used in many episodes, The Waterfall Building contains Kara's apartment in both 'Valley of Darkness' and the 'Daybreak' arc. Parking is an issue--there is a gravel pay lot just across from the building that is best. There is also, appropriately, a Starbucks nearby!
