Reviews of Queen Elizabeth Park (Zoo)

Ken Xu

Good place for joggers dog walkers and flower lovers. Pay to park just not sure if it’s necessary or reasonable since the Bloedel Conservatory we were hoping to see if closed and we were not there to play tennis lawn bowling or pitch & putt.

Betsy CT

There's outside and inside seating, beautiful setting right now with Christmas lights. A bit cold outside if your table isn't close to the fireplace. Inside tables are good distance apart with clear partitions. A safe place with a view of the city to enjoy dining out during COVID.

ann kim

It's such a pretty place, I want to go there every day!

Hazel Stevenson

On a cold rainy day, a safe and well managed visit to the Bloedel Conservatory is a treat. Exotic birds and plants in a warm tropical dome! Follow up with a visit to the Seasons heated patio for a glass of wine by the fire under sparky chandeliers ❤️

Fernando Bayuga

Breath taking views. I didn't do the conservatory but it looked great! Old rhododendrons and Japenese Maples. Flowers and old red woods here too!

Mahar Noyal Sunny

One among the best views of town is here, some body who is looking out to click some pictures this is a place to look forward to, other than that if you got a good time to spend with your lover this could be a good space to head into

Noah O

Very nice park, many activities to do, scenery to see, nature to enjoy. Usually kept clean, but it is always busy.

Jean-Pierre Azar

I went to this park the same day that I went to the Bloedel and it was really well designed and taught. My favorite part were the mountain views from the park (they were simply gorgeous). The work that is being done to preserve this park is amazing!

Sanaphay Rattanavong

Beautiful gardens lovingly cared for. Even found a random fungus that resembles Super Mario ????!

C M

Beautiful park with some cute spot such as “Love in the rain”. But the parking was not free....

Steven Green

Amazing place and well worth the walk up the hill...so many great views, insanely quiet sitting spots in the Quarry Gardens and just a bunch of quiet, respectful like minded others in search of some sanctuary...

Summer

Nice little park. Enjoyed both of the gardens and the duck pond. A little bit of fall colors could be seen on October 1. No free parking.

Mali DS

One of the nicest places in town, very well managed and taken care of. You can admire the beautiful gardens and take a walk around the park and enjoy the view on the city. There is also a restaurant inside the park "Seasons" as well as a covered garden. Gorgeous place for photography also.

Thomas Kozak

Lovely gardens and beautiful sunset views!

Shivam Sharma

It's amazing place, you want peaceful time? You want to see people? Come here. Great cheerful place. This palce has soul..

Britney Waldron

Nice park ???? but the city could do much more with it! Add another restaurant or cafe. More attractions or art ???? in the park. The green space below isn’t being utilized at all.

Karthik Sundar

Excellent views of the city from near the observatory. Must visit during fall weather to check the fall colors from the view.

karan bawa

Amazing place...parking is not cheap but not too expensive. Ticket inside is cheap <$7. Beautiful flora and fauna ( birds) inside bloedel conservatory. They give out a map which has all the birds so that you can track them out. Big camera DSLR is allowed too with big lenses too. Don't miss it check it out.

Savario Wohlgemuth

Beautiful park and great view of the city! We live close and we try to go here as much as possible. The conservatory is also very interesting!

Jess Lieu

Beautifully kept park with ample parking and amenities. Great sunset view + manicured gardens. Would definitely reccomend for a daytime or evening picnic. Not too many pests and easy to get around.

World Traveler

All season loaded with natural beauty.

Zac Yeow

Very lovely park, you can smell all the flowers when are in the Rose garden. The park is huge with a view of downtown. The small quarry is very beautiful, the large quarry has a small waterfall. There is a restaurant with a view there so it is a nice place to bring a date. The park is free of charge.

Nick Woodman

What a lovely surprise to find this park during Vancouver's snowiest Christmas since 2008! Freezing cold and covered in snow with families enjoying sledging and magnificent distant views. A joy to spend some good time here

Marcus McKay

I loved the color and the beautifully manicured shrubbery, plants and flowers. The landscapes created are beautifully arranged and cared for. There is also an enclosed garden with some rare birds and a dancing water fountain! Additionally included is a beautiful view of the city.

Kristy Chen

The park isn’t super big, but it’s a nice place to go for a stroll. Makes for really nice photos too!

Ji Won Moon

This park has very various faces inside.Lots of visitors but as it is a huge park and beloved one by locals with dogs walking it doesn‘t look like a tourist spot. As a tourist it might not be a very attractive place to visit but if you have more days spending in Vancouver and are bored by typical spots in the city, I would recommend to come here and have some relaxing time with great view.

George L

The park was wonderful. The Garden was very beautiful and it was a calm environment. Parking was easy to find, but it is pay parking. The fountain was great. It was nice to just sit back and watch the scenery around you. The view of the city is amazing from the park. You can see Grouse mountain as well as Mount Seymour. Downtown was visible to the left and Burnaby to the right. The park had many benches and public washrooms. Its a great place to go for a walk or a picnic on a sunny day.

Amber Looijenga

This is just a beautiful park, it's big and very well-kept! Love to wander around in the gardens, they're well maintained. Very big pluspoint is that you don't need to buy entrance ticket. You can just decide to go and walk in all day! Love this spot!

Folden Apkins

This place is great for you if you want an easily accessible experience with nature. The diversity of plants and trees is stunning with backdrop of Vancouver. You can bring strollers here but you need to look for the routes with no stairs. I highly recommend this stop very refreshing and beautiful.

Marcus

Very peaceful green space with some nice views of the city and mountains to the north.

Jaspreet Kaur

Fantastic place to visit with near and dear one’s. Eye catching views ❣️ Awesome places to click photos . Nice place to spend time.

Lindsey McEwan

How could anyone not rate a park with 5 stars? I'm doing this review in my sleep. Be aware. I could be leading you astray. Seriously though, it's a great city park.

Danielle Windecker

What a beautiful gem in our city! I absolutely like the conservatory and the park.

cindy amimer

In Fall, Queen Elizabeth Park, one of the best known parks in Vancouver, radiates warmth and passion from trees and bushes having turned golden or bright red! I just visited the park on October 22, 2020 and amazed at its beauty. Welcome to watch my video entitled “Autumn in October in QE Park” under my name “Cindy Amimer”.

Raskhan Photography

Love this place. Magnificent views with variety of flowers, and plants. Also, it has an easy access paid parking space. …

Annj Alexander

Gorgeous views of the city! Perfect for cherry blossoms in the spring. Wonderful place to bring family and friends for a picnic. The landscaping is well maintained and features an array of beautiful flowers.

Jenny Nakagawa

Well kept, lots of fun activities to do in one park. Sightseeing through the garden and greenery, basketball, tennis, golf, frisbee golf and many more! If you visit Canada or BC, you should stop by!

Luke Rivera

Beautiful views of the mountains and on a clear day you can see Mt. Baker. There's also a restaurant at the top.

Anna Koniarska

Really nice park, gorgeous flowers in the summer and spring months especially. Great for picnicking and if you have never been to the Bloedel conservatory it is really nice for a quick visit. Lots of family photos, wedding photos and grad photos are taken here. Gorgeous view of Vancouver from up top.

ann kim

It's such a pretty place, I want to go there every day!

Kaley Mae

Big beautiful park with lots to do. There is a conservatory (admission fee), beautiful landscaped outdoor gardens with walking paths, a (fancy) restaurant with a gorgeous patio overlooking the city, a sculpture with benches (I think under construction currently as it is fenced off and I only saw one part but the map said 2 parts) public washrooms, free and paid parking available as well as maps. We forgot where we parked and staff was super helpful and recommended visiting in the summer to see the gardens in full glory.

Maggie D.

This is such a beautiful park full of trees, plants and flowers from all over the world! I especially ĺove the water falls and trails that wind in and out of each other sometimes going over a little bridge over a creek and sometimes takes you to a lookout point with breathtaking views. I come here often and still can't get enough and will never get bored of it. You can also enjoy it on really hot days because there's lots of shaded areas.

Jasleen Kaur

What a beautiful place to enjoy nature!! I really liked how quiet it is despite being crowdy!! Go on a weekday and you will find it empty so that you can take a lot of pictures. There is ‘love in the rain’ section in where people attach locks with their lovers name. Also this place has a lake, and really beautiful for walks with your loved ones. A beautiful place❤️ Edit: went there again and it was just amazing, how beautiful this park is????

Vidhya S

I enjoyed the evening walk at this park. It was Spring time and the park was filled with early boomers and cherry blossoms. Such a lovely sight. A perfect place for picnic or a nice evening walk. Pet friendly areas for your fur friends and also the right place to enjoy a walk or jog.

小兔,世界跳跳中 Rabbit's Journal

I came to this park with my school trip. we had a picnic here and also visited the bird heaven there. there are so many colorful and beautiful birds, and we tried to find what is the type of those birds. We had so much fun here with friends and lovely views!

Nihit Malhotra

Nice park to visit for a long walk. The view of the city from the top was amazing. The large and small quarry was awesome it felt like a hiking trip. The duck pond was full of ducks and people were enjoying watching them. The fountain near the parking was nice. A good attraction for kids. It will be amazing to visit in Spring.

Jimmy Chen

This is the most beautiful multi-functional park that I have ever visited. From the viewpoint on the top, you can overlook the mountains surrounding Grant Vancouver and the city. The gorgeous garden blooms from spring to autumn. There are even some tennis grounds and a mini golf course in it. I love this park!

Patrick D

Visited this park one afternoon during my recent trip to Vancouver. It has a very relaxing ambiance, lots of places to hangout or have a picnic. Short walk towards the top the the lookout is as well as the garden. There you can take countless photos while looking over downtown Vancouver and also seeing the mountains on the horizon!

Dariush Adim

Good for a few hours to relax and enjoy your time at your place in this park

pratham pachchigar

You can completely see the downtown Vancouver even the stadium and revolving restaurant. They have also carved some description about nearby mountain peaks of BC and it's direction.

Betty Carter

I come here quite often. There's actual fish in the water I even saw a turtle it's a beautiful park. Beautiful area to walk around picnic. Forestarea beautiful pond enjoy. Kindest regards I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Simi Lee

I never seen such a beautiful park in the centre of city where to see the whole Vancouver. So organized amid of covid. Nice to walk around.Night view is also spectacular. I think best place for locals.

Alex Razon

The place is beautiful. The view was breath taking and every corner is just picture perfect. It was just so sad that we couldn't capture how beautiful the view up top was with pictures. We'll definitely try to come back with the whole family next time.

Nadia

The park is huge. It is a very nice place to take a morning or evening walk. Many people played flying disks and take their pets here. However, there was not many flowers when I visited.

Laura G

It’s a lovely park with a bit of floral diversity and a great distant city view. You can find this place as a pleasant and romantic spot for a date as well as intriguing and educative.

J. C.

Beautifully manicured park, nice walking paths, great for a date. Didn't get to go to the conservatory since tickets sold out (buy ahead!). The missing star is for the view, didn't get as an amazing view of the city as I had hoped from reading other reviews before going, still very nice and worth checking out. You do have to pay for parking in the park.

Milton Bordignon

Loving autumn colors all around the park

Andrea F

Gorgeous! We really appreciated the beauty of this park and it's gardens. A great place for a stroll!

Narine Harut

It's a beautiful garden, if it's your first time, you need 2 and more hours to enjoy this beauty. We spent almost a hour in The Bloedel Conservatory, very nice with big selection of different plants and birds. Amazing view of city and if you hungry, it's a nice restaurant where you can enjoy food and view.

Bokeh Wedding Photography

Queen Elizabeth park has been one of my favourite place to shoot a wedding photos. Within the park are full of beautiful flowers, trees and shrubs.

Kareem Gouda

One of my favorite parks in Vancouver. Beautiful landscaping, lots of facilities and definitely amazing views when you get close to the top. Not a place to miss yet often so many locals do.

גל נפתלוביץ'

A beautiful and well maintained huge park, with many types of flowers and trees. Great place for a picnic. There is a view point over the city. There are benches along the park. There is no entry fee.

Isaak Skinner

Every day I find something new in the park. An amazing view from the greenhouse. Excellent place for disc golf, pitch and put, tennis and other activities . Love it

Bruno de Castro Duarte

One of my fave places to visit in Vancouver. You get to see the city from a nice Height. Also if you love snow go there because they r in higher elevation than most downtown so you get to see lots of snow over there

Rendell Roberts

Great views, excellent gardens when in season, seasons in the park restaurant is terrific with views of downtown and north shore mountains, lots of great walking to enjoy 360 degree view of our fair city

Zachary C

Known as QE Park by locals, it is a wonderfully landscaped garden. There are nice views, and if you go on a clear day, you may even get a glimpse of Downtown and the mountains in the north. The gardens are nice year-round, but most popular in the spring (cherry blossoms), and autumn (leaves change colour). The duck pond is indeed filled with many friendly ducks. Parking is expensive and not especially plentiful, though it is possible to drive around the park and take in the sights without stopping. The conservatory on top charges a small fee, but otherwise, the garden is free.

Edible Pipis

This place is awesome, there’s a lot of space to have a picnic or walk and enjoy the mixed kind of plants. Don’t miss the Observatory, just be sure to book your visit if your plans are on Weekend. Once in the top , enjoy the view of Vancouver and their mountains!

Graham Bingham

A lovely park at one of the highest points in the city, which offers breathtaking views. A former rock quarry provides the setting for sunken gardens, lush trees, and an abundance of beautiful groomed flower beds. Bring a picnic lunch, or …

Viri VyVO

Although we went there at night, the scene to the city is beautiful, you can stay a little longer in the restaurant and enjoy the view, and if you go at day time, you can enjoy the Bloedel Conservatory

James Sware

Walked the paths and enjoyed the awesome scenery. Also went to the lovers locks so cute

Stephanie vB

Even during the winter months the park outside was beautiful and a great walk. The conservatory is very fun and the Winter lights were very nice. It was super busy because it was the last day for the winter lights but if you went during the week it probably would have been better!

Paul Donovan

We visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon and the upper parking lot was almost full. Lots of people enjoying this beautiful park with any winding paths and viewpoints. Seasons in the Park restaurant is open with limited patio seating. There was an ice cream truck. The lilies haven’t bloomed yet but lots of other beautiful flours to enjoy. The conservatory was open but full for the day.

Sam Symon

Very Nice park, nice place to relax. It has a nice trail around it and 2 quarry garden.

Yannick Bielefeldt

Very beautiful park with lots of plants and green. The conservatory is definitely worth a visit but the park itself is one of my favourites in Vancouver. Really nice places to relax and enjoy the day. The view over the city is breathtaking!

Lindsey McEwan

How could anyone not rate a park with 5 stars? I'm doing this review in my sleep. Be aware. I could be leading you astray. Seriously though, it's a great city park.

Adam Searles

Beautiful park to relax in. Walking up the hills can be tiring but the views are worth it.

Tora Wu

Although the summer flowers are gone by now, the gardens are alternatively great places for enjoying autumn colours. Remember to schedual your admissions in advance online if you plan to visit the conservatory and see some lovely tropical plants and parrots.

Tilahun Worku

Situated at the Queen Elizabeth Park, the beautiful flowers and trees in it are very attractive. The oval shape glass rooftop house has a variety of plants. It has a fascinating landscape that has a special delight in the area. The view is a good place to be. The place has enough parking space. If you visit it you will be satisfied. Enjoy your time with fresh air.

Yuvaan Gugrajah

Great park to experience the recent snow fall

June Tulips

What a beautiful park this was. I didn't actually know what kind of place it was I just saw on maps there was a park here and decided to go on an adventure. The amazing trees, flowers and water features were breath taking. There was an adorable little building to host a small wedding or event in. Even the sculptures were eye catching. One visit alone did not do this place justice. I will be returning often to see what new plants blossom. There are also amazing views of the city of Vancouver.

Aaron Lo

Beautiful and spacious park with lots to see and do. It offers great views of the city skyline and the surrounding mountains and is a great spot to see the sunrise from.

Modern Sleeper

Great park to stop and smell the flowers. Love clearing my head here.

Kimmy Lee

Great place to go toboggan. Accessible, not overcrowded but with many people toboggan together, it's just right. Had so much fun.

Christine Maurette

Great botanical gardens. The rose garden is lovely. The lawn bowlers are very friendly and are very willing to explain the game. Lots of photo shoots going on everywhere. Free and paid parking available.

Terry Khu

Gorgeous views and alot of spacing to move about. Highly recommended.

Samantha Liang

So many things to do here! Lots of parking as well (all paid) but very convenient. I've been here several times and each time I'm doing something different. The restaurant is great, Blodel is so worth it and the view of the city is impeccable even on a rainy day! The garden is also fantastic in spring and summer for those instrgram shots!

Cezary Kowalik

Many paths to explore, a duck pond, conservatory, statues, rose garden, restaurant, and a great view of Vancouver. Feels like a royal garden when in full bloom. Lots of picnic opportunities and mini golf / frolf courses to boot.

Adrian Erni

Was hoping to check out the conservatory, but all booked up for the day. Definitely book in advance. Some of the cherry trees were just starting, perfect for an afternoon walk!

Abdullah Junaid

I live right next to the park, so I go there a lot. It is very close to King Edward/Oakridge 41st Canada line station. It has a restaurant called Seasons in the park, a query garden, a conservatory and many more things. There is a fee if you want to get into the conservatory. There is an excellent viewpoint from where you can see the whole downtown. There is a water fountain right next to the conservatory. At night it becomes colourful, which is one of my favourite things to see in Queen Elizabeth Park. It is a great place to go jogging or spend some time with your friends and family. Many people bring their pets with them too. It will take about 2-3 hours to walk around the whole park. It has a lot of parking spaces and public washrooms. Usually, it gets busy on weekends.

Zaayer Nasib

Great place to visit in the summers but not that had in winters either on a nice sunny day. A variety of trees, flowers offer excellent scenes for ???? There is a bird sanctuary here you should visit as well.

m n

Love this park! Great view from the top and they have nice garden, tennis courts.

Haley (haley)

Beautiful park . Lovely spot to go for a view of the city especially at night ! Also has a super cool fountain and an amazing free botanical garden ! One of my favourite parks to visit

John B.

Amazing view! Very nice to walk around, have a picnic and enjoy the nature. There are washrooms available at the top.

G C

Very nice park to hangout or picnic with family and friends especially in the summer. Lots of flowers and greenery. Also have fountain for kids to enjoy water in summer.

Jagan Raj Jayapandiyan

Expect a spectacular view of downtown from the hilltop. You can also plan for a little hike and indeed they are kid's friendly. You can also enjoy a small stream there with tropical vegetation. Worth to spend about two hours and excellent place for photography, If you have interest on it

Arthur Cheng

A good place for parents, kids, and family. Many beautiful flowers and sightseeing options available. Public restrooms available, but very dirty with wet floor. Free parking available but not for all lots. Skytrain and bus station/stop nearby. Easy access.

Ahmed Mansour

Best arrangement and variety of flowers.. Beats Botanical gardens in some places. Unique and varied topography. Hundreds of bees flying all over the flowers. Mason bees bumblebees and honeybees. Views of the North mountains and southern mountains. Can see mountain cap glacier from here

Kevin Laurie

One of my favorite places and I can't decide my favorite part of it. Between the view of the city, the duck pond, the breath taking gardens, or just closing my eyes and just basking in the aroma of the flowers, it's a wonderful place to take time with yourself or loved ones. With plenty of benches and viewing spots be sure to bring your camera. Then after a walk up to the top of the hill you can have a nice drink and a bite to eat at Seasons in the park ( it's pricey but you cannot beat the view.)

Digital Loop

A great "hidden gem" of Vancouver. It's the highest point in Vancouver with a view worthy of your time. Lots of things to do here and a few very nice art installations as well!

Arlene WM

Beautiful park for an easy walk/hike with the family and friends. Stroller friendly. The fountain is a fun hangout for the littles too. Flowers and trees are gorgeous. Duck pond was entertaining too!

chethan prasad

Beautiful park right in the middle of Vancouver. One can get an amazing view of downtown with snow capped peaks backdrop from here.

Naz King

Great place to visit when the weather is sunny. It looks amazing.

joseph jeon

Great atmosphere with lots of activity options. Great place for photographs and night skywatching too. Its honestly better than most parks in vancouver

Taz S

One of the most beautiful parks in Vancouver. Absolutely gorgeous during spring and summer time. Nice walk with views even though the park itself is small.

Absinthe Head

I did not expect a public garden to be this beautifully maintained and so, so lovely. I enjoyed the rose garden, the sculptures, the bridge, the views. Around the Biodel they are breathtaking. The conservatory is a tropical heaven. This is a fantastic place to visit.

Bryan

Great looking park with a fantastic view of the city and of the mountains! I went in September and the garden seemed poorly kept. Maybe it was just the wrong season but i was hoping for it to be a little for neat. Overall great look out and worth the look

Aasiya Satia

Beautifully maintained park with a variety of plants and species. Clean and reasonably flat pathways. There are a few steps to climb in a few areas which may not be accessible for everyone. Wonderful lookout points of Vancouver city. The fountains are a refreshing stopping points to sit and have a break, the children will enjoy it here.

Freee27 (Freee27)

It’s a nice park for a walk with events occurring. Great spot to take family and friends. I even got to see 2 hummingbirds play. There is a bloedel conservatory which is home to many different kinds of birds. The inside smells like wildlife. Definitely a must see if you’re in the area.

Sanjeev Chugh

Loved the park, very clean and very well maintained, the setup is beautiful.

Darren Findlay

A real gem of a park. Vancouver’s second best park after Lord Stanley’s. beautiful manicured grounds with loads of things to occupy your day. Plus amazing and unusual view of Vancouver. Worth a visit if in Vancouver and looking for views, Gardens, or something different form Stanley Park.

Leslie Gilker

TGIF beautiful way to end the week with an old friend celebrating a belated birthday. Delicious lunch and beautiful view. Where else can you enjoy a meal outside in January with this view.

Eddie So

A really nice city park in the middle of the city. It's good for all year round to stroll around and take some good pictures even on some rainy days. You can see the city view and mountain view on sunny days

Robin

Clean, beautiful trees and plants. Even on a rainy day it looks amazing.

Jimmy Dankhra

Amazing place to visit especially to see the vibes of fall colours.

Kathy Chan

Beautiful walk in the Park. Very well laid out. Highly recommended

Justin Ho

Loved the vibe came during the end of summer so most plants/flowers were in bloom. Great place to go for a stroll and pictures. Come as botanical enthusiasts or just a casual walk in the park!

Trish Sheppard

So beautiful and so many birds ????

H Max Wu

A very beautiful park in all seasons. There are ducks and birds. You always see weddings being held here. The conservatory is well-managed and always a joy. Just walk around the trails and enjoy the beauty in the middle of the city.

Zeinab Rashed

It’s true the park is not huge, but it is very beautiful with great views. I enjoyed the white/ pink colored trees. It wasn’t busy the time I went and thus it was peaceful (big bonus). Overall nice park to walk around and enjoy the nature (if it wasn’t raining ????)

Efren Isonza

This beautiful space always gives you different beautiful sceneries each seasons of the year. From seasonal macros to perennial trees, it will never runs out of natural features to please every visitors.

Tabinda Umer

A perfect spot to enjoy both nature and an immaculate view of the downtown.

Chaitanya Gupte

Perfect place for spending the day if the weather is nice. Great views of the Northshore and amazing flower garden. Abundant options for activity or just walk along the paths. Great for all ages.
