no crowds mid week, take your time and enjoy. don't get lost in the maze and bring a blanket for a quiet snooze

This botanical garden is a jewel in Vancouver. Our visit took place during a glorious spring morning, so everything looked especially bright. The air was filled with different aromas from the vegetation and flowers. It is very well kept, and very esthetically planned. We took a walk of about 1hour and a half to see the highlights of the garden... More

I liked all the different layouts of the gardens, wandering around was so peaceful and the plants were lovely.

Looking to spend time outdoors, visit the gardens. Summer is of course a nice time to walk around however if in Vancouver during Christmas, a trip to the garden in the evening is a must. Fantastic light display

I've been to Van Dusen gardens during the gorgeous light displays put on around the Christmas season! Very magical and fun to walk through!! A must see event!

I used to be a volunteer guide at VanDusen nearly 20 years ago, but had not visited the park in ten years. We had lunch at SHAUGHNESSY, which was excellent. Then we walked around the 85-acre garden with our cameras in hand. The end of May is a very good time to visit!

We loved visiting the VanDusen Botanical Garden. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the flowers were gorgeous. We really enjoyed walking through the garden and sight-seeing. We would definitely go back if we were in Vancouver. Worth your time and money. Lots of great pics.

We visit mostly in December for the seasonal light show which is great for families. Lots of lights, music, fun snack stands. The gardens are beautiful and the new Visitor Centre is a wonderful piece of architecture in its own right. There is a good-sized parking lot but it can get very busy on special occasions. Definitely worth a look!

The visitor centre alone is worth the admission price. The gardens are beautifully planted and the sculpture exhibition at various spots are superb too. Helpful staff. At $10 pp it's great value. Vancouver should be proud of the gem which has obviously had considerable investment.
