All the obvious ones have been said, so I'll add this:

Make some phone calls or drive out to Springbank airport and find a flight school or flying club that can take you up for a tour of the city or the mountains from a plane or helicopter.

It may be a little more pricey than other activities, but I can promise the views will be incredible, especially of downtown or flying into the mountains.

Most places call these flights "discovery flights", I did a bunch for people when I was a flight instructor back in 2002-2004. Quite a few were for tourists or visitors that wanted to see the sights from the air. Average flight was about an hour long.
