These guys know their stuff and are willing to share their knowledge. No pressure to buy anything. No problem recommending this place to anyone. By the way, this place is actually located at 2580 Burrard Street. They moved from their West 4th location a year or two ago.

As a novice Astronomer I find that VTC fills all my needs. Staff is very knowledgeable and not rushed. No stupid questions here. These guys are not pushy but have no problem selling product to you. Post sale service is top quality and very encouraged. Prices are very close to other stores(even online ones). They stand behind what they sell. They sell all major brands. You have to check these guys out. A++++

When I was a kid, I’d always ask for a telescope for my birthday. Seriously. I never got one, but at least I can live out my childhood fantasies by visiting this shop. There is a guy in the summers that lets you look through his telescope on the beach and I think once I saw Venus or Jupiter or something. Anyhow, the store has ta-da! Telescopes. The staff are probably all trekkies, either way they are very nice and friendly about what it is to look for when you are investing in a telescope. Cool palce to visit on a weekend or to break awkward conversation.

The early darkness of winter is good for one thing: scoping out the moon from the telescopes outside the Vancouver Telescope Centre. Amble by on any evening and the store staff(and curious locals) will be peering through the binocular-lenses of one of the massive telescope barrels. The telescopes range from long and skinny, to something a Star Trooper would use. The staff were awesome on our last visit — lining up the telescopes so we could see the moon and really just wanted to share their love of universe-gazing with us. There is lots of light pollution around, so it’s not hardcore star-gazing. But it’s a nice option to, briefly, escape the head space of the city.

I wandered in here one day while trying to kill time waiting for a friend and was pleasantly surprised at how helpful the staff were despite being obviously just wandering around killing time. A whole store devoted to telescopes! With friendly staff that were explaining all the differences it certainly made the impact where this is the only place I think of when someone asks about or mentions telescopes. In fact as a result I recommended this place to a friend who was looking at purchasing one for his father, which to my understanding turned out great. Kudos for great servaice.
