Queen Elizabeth Park Vancouver Reviews
Rated
Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver is a remarkable destination offering a blend of natural beauty and recreational activities. One of its highlights is the Bloedel Conservatory, where the entrance fee is around 8 CAD. This conservatory is home to a diverse collection of tropical and subtropical plants, along with vibrant birds, providing a unique indoor garden experience. The park also features stunning flower displays, including sunflowers and roses, creating a colorful and picturesque environment.
However, visitors should be prepared for the summer heat, as the park has limited shaded areas. It's advisable to bring a towel and stay hydrated while exploring the beautiful landscapes. The park's mix of botanical wonders and outdoor leisure makes it a must-visit spot in Vancouver.

Lovely open garden, no admission required! Highly recommend if you are a flora enthusiast or just someone who likes pretty things! Many spectacular roses, poppies, and so much more! Definitely stop by if the weather is nice.

BC sure knows how to create incredible parks. We visited Bloedel Conservatory and then walked around the park, enjoying the views and the gorgeous gardens. Part of it is an old quarry that has been planted and it’s incredible. The park itself is about 120 acres with tennis courts and ball fields but we stuck to the area surrounding Bloedel which was perfect.

Queen Elizabeth Park is an absolute gem in the heart of the city. This beautifully landscaped park offers stunning floral displays, manicured gardens, and panoramic views of Vancouver that are truly breathtaking. It's a perfect spot for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The park is well-maintained and offers a variety of activities, including pitch-and-putt golf, tennis, and quiet spots for picnics. The on-site restaurant provides delicious food with a view that can't be beaten. Queen Elizabeth Park is a wonderful place to spend a day, whether you're walking the trails, exploring the conservatory, or just enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend a visit to this peaceful oasis!
