Rapture

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.

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.
