    Great view.
    The park is central to Vancouver. Easy to get to by car or bicycle. Fun to visit under the dome. For a high end meal, date night or small gathering try Seasons in the Park restaurant. The view is second to none on a clear day.

    Interesting and relaxing place
    Little gem if you want to explore the gardens and take in great views of the city. Regardless of the mode of transport chosen, the park is easily accessible. The highlight of the park is the Bloedel Conservatory, the inner glass-domed garden, home to many free-flying birds and exotic plants. The park is free, but we paid $7.20 per adult for the conservatory. The park is truly beautiful and well landscaped, maintained and managed. We also enjoyed the fountains, statues, and scenic views of Vancouver and the Coastal Mountains. Warmly recommended.

    Christmas Lights and Birds at the Arborarium
    This was a first visit in several years and was especially delightful at Christmas time. Lights playing on the flowers and trees added an exotic quality to the displays. Banks of poinsettas of all colors amid the profuse orchids were a delight to the eye. There are more parrots and larger birds now and we were able to tease a few of them awake. Absolutely loved it and hope it is repeated next year.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
