It consists of a tropical garden/jungle with various species of birds from warmer and more humid climes. It was interesting and educational and suitable for both young and old. It is accessible, however it is possible that those with breathing conditions may find the humidity oppressive.Written November 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- springbankGreve, Denmark3,659 contributionsLocated in the city's Chinatown, it was the first Chinese garden built outside of Asia. It's a small intimate garden where you will find beautiful pavilions, covered walkways, a jade green pond with koi fish, and a collection of 150-year-old miniature tree. It think it brings a peaceful respite from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
You can explore the gardens without spending any penny. The garden is worth exploring.Written August 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ted b9 contributionsI look at UBC Garden as two different places.
1) The first is the Japanese Garden, which is more of a rainforest atmosphere. That is more trees than garden. And in there you'll find the tree tops adventure, several suspension bridges. Even though they are secure, it can be a workout, keeping your balance while navigating through. For me, more of a workout than Capilano, but it's not difficult.
If you do take the tree top adventure and Ian or someone from the company is there, take a few minutes and start a conversation. The suspension bridges are run by a private company, who has locations all over the world. I'm glad I stopped to talk.
2) The second part is the garden part, as you'll see in the picture above. I was there in August and didn't see a whole lot of flowers in bloom, but still a very nice walk through the parkWritten August 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Stunning views of the ocean, coupled with some great flower arrangements, will allow you to absorb all you have experienced so far today.Written September 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris DNew Westminster, Canada3,136 contributionsStumbled onto to this interesting spot while walking from Lost Lagoon to Second Beach. The City Parks Board has a lot of background on why these rhododendrons are where they are, and I encourage you to look this up if interested. Me, I was impressed with the design and the windy little trails which were a pleasant break from sharing blacktop with large groups of bikes. To help you find this; it sort of surrounds the "pitch and putt" near Second Beach, and stretches south to Lagoon Drive and west to Stanley Park Drive. A great place to stop and catch your breath if you are walking or cycling in the area.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
