This episode has three locations. 1. Algae Planet Private land in Kamloops Travel Tips: Unfortunately all of the locations in Kamloops are on private land. The Algae Planet is part of The Hoodoos, an amazing rock formation that is on T'kemlups Indian Land. The drive is amazingly scenic (particularly the mountain pass) and the city itself is large, but beautiful. I could retire here. :) To see more Algae Planet rock formations, see the 'Eye of Jupiter.' 2. Temple of Five Vancouver Wharves, North Vancouver. Public access is highly restricted for security reasons. ![]() Google Earth map provided by Kent Sponagle. Travel Tips: This site on the waterfront was also used for parts of Ragnar Station from the Miniseries. Not accessible to the public. 3. The Opera House The Orpheum Theatre, corner of Smithe and Seymour Streets, Vancouver 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 each. 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. For a more complete look at the Opera House, see the Crossroads entries.

Projection: Gaius and Six Third Beach in Stanley Park Travel Tips: The beach is Third Beach in Stanley Park, and the woods are right beside the parking lot (north side). There was a huge wind storm a few years ago that really damaged the trees in the park so it will not look the same as when it was shot. We did not have a chance to visit this site. If you were out there and have a pic or two, we'd love to add them to the website! Please use the contact form on our about us page.
This episode has two locations. 1. New Caprica City Go to No. 8 and Blundell Road in Richmond, BC, and follow Blundell west until it ends. GPS coordinates: 49.156829, -123.043334 Location Notes: This location can be difficult to find. Thanks to Bart McLeroy for the photos! He found the location by putting the coordinates above into his GPS. It's now an industrial area, but it is possible to see some sand if you look closely. Behind the ScenesBelow are photos of the area off of Blundell Road, dressed as New Caprica city for many episodes, including 'Exodus Part II.' Photos are copyright Maurice Woodworth, and are not to be re-used without his written consent. 2. Kara's cell The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver Travel Tip: The photo above is Kara's actual apartment! Parking is difficult here. There is a small gravel pay lot across from the building (near the train tracks) that is the most convenient. Appropriately, there's a Starbucks nearby!
This episode has four locations. 1. Cylon firing squad ![]() The 'Pergamus Flats' were a private and active rock quarry. This is not a site that's possible to visit, which is too bad as how much fun would it have been to throw Anne down the hill like Roslin did to Zarek? ... well, OK, just fun for me. :) This is also the site of Kara's crash landing in 'You Can't Go Home Again.' 2. Breeder's Canyon Upper Coquitlam River Park, 1791 Pipeline Road, Coquitlam ![]() Google Earth map provided by Kent Sponagle. Travel Tip: Park next to the fence and enter the park at the model plane area. If club members are present, be careful to ask so that you do not interfere with their planes. Head left and walk into the forest; the location comes up quickly (you'll reach the river). Click 'read more' to see New Caprica City and Kara's cell.

Kara's Cell The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver Travel Tips: Kara's NC prison cell was actually in the same complex as her Caprica apartment--the Waterfall Building. This is a photo of the actual apartment. Parking can be an issue here, but there is a gravel pay lot slightly northwest of the building (across the street). Appropriately, there's a Starbucks nearby.
Be sure to check out the parts of the Miniseries, Black Market, Downloaded and Daybreak that were filmed here! This episode has four locations 1. Earth 2.0 Private land in Kamloops. We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to visit Earth 2.0 in 2011. It was much drier in May (it had been a slow, cold spring in Canada as well), but we were able to identify many of the locations. Everything was filmed quite close together to save the time and expense of moving cameras and equipment.
Our guide kindly left us out on the site, and we spent more than an hour just taking in where we were (and having a small picnic). I can't describe the feeling of being where the show ended--it was very emotional for us. We took a second trip in June 2012, and found many things we had missed! New locations found for Daybreak include Adama and Roslin's camp, the place the natives were sighted, and the spot where Starbuck disappears! Click 'read more' to see Kara's apartment, Roslin's apartment, Lee's apartment, Anders' pyramid rehab room, and Earth 150,000 years later! This episode has four locations. 1. Strip Bar Butter, 11935 207 Street, Maple Ridge, BC Help Needed: We have not travelled to this particular location.

The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver Travel Tips: Kara's apartment remains consistently the Waterfall Building throughout the series. In Daybreak, we see Roslin's Caprica apartment for the first time. It's the penthouse on the east side of the complex. Parking is an issue here--there is a gravel, pay lot just across from the building that is best. There is also, appropriately, a Starbucks nearby! 4. The Opera House The Orpheum Theatre, 850 block on the corner of Smithe and Seymour Streets, downtown Vancouver 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 each. The tour is two hours long and you get to explore the Orpheum from basement to attic!

Daybreak Fountain Simon Fraser University, entrance is where Burnaby Mountain Parkway meets Gaglardi Way. ![]() A behind the scenes look at Underworld 4 Travel Tips: Yes, I walked into the reflecting pool at the academic quadrangle. :) At that time, May 2010, there was no algae or koi in the water, and it was ridiculously cold, but very clean. We were there on a Friday afternoon, so there were virtually no students on campus. In 2011, the algae and koi were back, causing Anne to rethink her own wading plans, and we walked into a film shoot for Underworld 4!
