What travellers are saying
- NamasteHelloHarrogate, UK1,879 contributionsLove it. Vaancouver people don't know how lucky they are to have this super park on their doorstep. Lovely trails, Rose garden has some nice roses, but needs attention. The woodland walks are great. Easy to reach for £2 from Vancouvr by no 19 bus.Written June 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Donald W3 contributionsNice place to visit. It’d has a very good market, interesting shops and a good atmosphere. The prices are a bit high, but it is a good place to spend a few hours.

- Vanessa USan Jose, CA7 contributionsNot only do you get to see some cute otters, you also get to learn about various costal marine life. The aquarium is a must see because of the different exhibits and animals you can learn about, making it perfect for all ages.
There is parking lots near the aquarium which accept various forms of online payment options or cash. If you want to see the feeding of the otters I do suggest arriving early as it is only a one level option to view it.Written June 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Koala1415Frankfurt, Germany17 contributionsBeautiful and well-maintained garden. A great place for bird-watching. Make sure to pick up the map of what is blooming currently at the garden's entry.
The staff is friendly and the cafe at the entry has a good selection of snacks and cake.Written June 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They come from the Inuit culture and were used as a landmark/navigational aid. They also represented hospitality and friendship.Written January 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LnS2004Cypress, CA6,139 contributionsA 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.Written May 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Scooter1960Adelaide, Australia66 contributionsVancouver is a beautiful city with lovely and picturesque waterfront areas both in the north (Canada Place) and south (Granville Island) of downtown. We only had a full single day to spend and you easily spend the day immersing yourself in either area wandering around the shops and restaurants and still get a feel for the city.Written May 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Touch the Pacific, people watch, count the freighters, sit on a log with an ice cream - it's fantastic in a mellow, westy coasty kinda way.Written May 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
