“Easy to get to”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

Take public transport to this lovely park. You get a good view of the city from the top and the Bloedel Conservatory (exactly like the dome at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens, Australia) is worth a visit. More

“Great views of the city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2012 NEW

We went here on a weekday and spent time in the atrium, which was a gorgeous, tranquil treat, with exotic plants and birds. Outside the building, on a clear day when it wasn't raining, we had fabulous views of the city. Park in the free parking area and walk up to the top, past the lawn bowling facility. The atrium...

“Beautiful ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2012 NEW

When I first went to Queen Elizabeth Park many years ago, it reminded me of Butchardt Gardens in Victoria. It is a beautifully kept park, spacious, wonderful to walk through, with expansive views of the city of Vancouver. I have revisited this park several times and it never fails to inspire me and appreciate the work that goes into making... More

“Another lovely Vancouver park!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2012

Had lunch at Seasons in the Park in the patio overlooking the mountains, it was a great view and the food was good. I had the clam chowder and my husband had the salmon burger, both were good. The ambiance and decor were great. Great place for the kids - had a fountain next to the Conservatory where they could... More

“Every Season”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

the quary portion is a pocket-delight - a miniature of Butchart Gardens (Victoria, BC) - but free. I love spring when the cherry trees and bulbs are shown to best advantage, by May the azalea and rhododendrons are dazzling - and so it goes right through fall colors and into the sharp contrasts of winter (trees show their lovely bones...
