    Beautiful Park
    A visit to this famous urban landmark park was top on our itinerary during our brief trip to Vancouver. Lots of tourists and families visiting on the long holiday weekend when we came. We parked at the big lot next to the Bloedel Conservatory and walked towards the adjacent gardens. The well placed sculptures were quite impressive. The small Quarry Garden was colorful and lush. While the park’s high elevation meant nice panoramic view of the city, it also meant somewhat steep ascent and descent which could be difficult for mobility challenged visitors to navigate. I wish the park could become more disability friend. Better directional signage would help as well.

    Revisiting
    After getting married in QE park 40 years ago. Return to this park and found everything are still beautiful and well maintained. Water fountains are dry without water tough. The thing I do not understand is why pay parking in a park?

    Lovely gardens and view of the city
    This is one of the many gardens you can visit in Vancouver BC. It's got lovely gardens and it offers a great view of the city. There were many people having their picnic when we got there. The place also seems to be a favorite spot for wedding pictorials. There's an ample parking space for a pay. We had lots of photos taken both outside and inside the Bloedel Conservatory, located in the park itself.

    Best views in Vancouver
    This garden offers spectacular views of the mountains, extraordinary gardens and an enclosed dome-shaped greenhouse with exotic birds like macaws, cockatoos and parrots. Be sure to eat at the restaurant with panoramic vistas and very good food. Great for people of all ages.

    Beautiful Gardens
    The Queen Elizabeth Gardens are a short Uber ride from downtown and well worth the trip. The gardens were colorful, well-maintained, and unique. It’s very hilly to walk around, but definitely manageable. Views of Vancouver on a clear day are spectacular. The gardens are free and the little conservatory was only $5.20 for seniors. It’s not much…but the rescue birds are cute.

Great place to just walk around and see the gardens, would pay a visit to the conservatory too. Too bad the water shortage has forced them to close most of the water based attractions. Great sights too to the city.

We enjoyed the lovely gardens. The views of the city were nice from the benches by the Botanical garden.

Beautiful park but the heat and dryness were too much to handle…even the water fountain was not functioning because they are saving water.
