Tourists & Visitors
UBC is for Everyone!
Everyone is welcome to come to UBC and use the world-class facilities on this beautiful campus. Whether you're interested in a leisurely walk through the gardens, visiting a museum or gallery, watching a performance, taking the family swimming, staying the weekend or enjoying an evening of fine dining, you can find it at UBC.
There's plenty to do at UBC
On any given day or evening you can:
- catch a concert or theatre production
- view a special exhibit at the Belkin Art Gallery or Museum of Anthropology
- tour the 32 hectare Botanical Garden
- take the family for a swim
- go for a workout
- enjoy fine dining at Sage Bistro
The best way to see our beautiful campus is to come visit!
Our bike - and pedestrian - friendly campus is also ideal for a leisurely ride with the kids, and restaurants ranging from cafeterias to fine dining offer lunch or dinner to suit any budget.
If you're looking for something more education-oriented, our Continuing Studies unit offers a range of lectures and courses to meet your interests.
For prospective students and their families, why not start by registering for a campus walking tour?
Concerts at the Chan Centre feature today's top international musicians in the concert hall and tomorrow's stars in our student concert, opera or theatre productions.
Parking is easy to find
Five closed-in parkades and economy lots are open to the public every day; several more are available to visitors on weekends and evenings. For the latest on parking rates and locations, visit the UBC Parking website.
Or better yet, whynot cycle or take public transit onto campus? Several bus routes stop at the UBC bus loop throughout the day, every day. Check out some of our Travelling Tips & Maps.
