How Much Does Archery Cost in Vancouver?

Vancouver's two listed archery facilities price themselves in genuinely different ways, one around a semester membership, the other around per-visit drop-in and lesson fees. So "how much does archery cost in Vancouver" doesn't have one clean answer, it depends which of the two you're asking about. Here's every confirmed number, from ARC's Vancouver directory.

What's the cheapest way to try archery once in Vancouver?

$15, the non-member drop-in rate at UBC Archers.

UBC Archers offers this rate specifically for people who aren't UBC students, staff, or members, at the Osborne Building on UBC's campus. The catch: sessions run Monday 5 to 7 PM, winter terms only, tied to the academic calendar rather than available year-round. It's the cheapest single try in the city, but the least flexible on scheduling.

What does UBC Archers membership cost, and is it worth it over drop-in?

$60 per semester for UBC students and staff, $65 for alumni and community members.

Run the math against the $15 drop-in: four visits at drop-in pricing costs $60, the same as a full semester membership, which typically covers roughly four months of Monday sessions. If you know you'll come more than four times, the membership wins on price and it includes beginner lessons and provided equipment, benefits the single drop-in doesn't spell out as clearly.

What does it cost to shoot at Lykopis Archery?

$25 including tax if you bring your own equipment, $35 including tax with rental gear included. No membership required for either.

Lykopis Archery, at 2180 Main St, runs more consistent weekly hours than UBC's single Monday slot, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, plus a Friday Open Range session from 6:30 to 8:30 PM specifically. Punch cards are available for repeat visits, worth asking about if you plan to come back more than once or twice, since a punch card typically works out cheaper per visit than paying the full rate each time.

What do lessons cost beyond the basic drop-in?

$140 per person for a two-hour group intro at Lykopis, or $160 plus tax (solo) to $310 plus tax (two people) for a private lesson. UBC folds beginner instruction into its membership price instead of charging separately.

So what should you actually budget?

For the absolute cheapest single try, $15 at UBC Archers on a Monday evening is unbeaten, provided the timing works for you and it's currently a winter term. For more flexible weekly access without joining anything, Lykopis's $25 to $35 drop-in and Friday Open Range slot is the steadier option. And if you're going to be a regular at UBC specifically, the $60 to $65 semester membership beats paying drop-in rates after about four visits.
