Bloedel Floral Conservatory |
The Conservatory is one of the most popular attractions in
Vancouver and is open daily, rain or shine. A modest fee is charged. It is
dedicated to the wonders of the natural world with an emphasis on plants and
birds. As a matter of fact, over 100 birds of various species call the Bloedel
Conservatory home and free-fly within its spacious dome. It was constructed
through a very generous donation from Prentice Bloedel in 1969. That same
donation enabled the Park Board to cover the main reservoir atop
Queen Elizabeth Park .
Hours of Operation:
10:00am to 5:00pm - seven days a week
