VanDusen Botanical Garden

On another night in the city we ventured over to see the incredible holiday light show at the VanDusen Botanical Garden. It was pretty spectacular with its many lights and paths to wander through. Read more

A gorgeous botanical garden in the centre of Vancouver. You would never know what is behind its doors. Plants and flowers from all over the world and even a maze!!

Dress warmly! Parking is limited, and streets around are the most ideal place to do so if you arrive late. Show up early, 15-30 mins prior to opening to avoid the line , or purchase ahead of time.

What a hidden gem in the middle of the city . Put on your walking shoes as it is 55 acres big! The Shaughnessy Restaurant has a special drink offer for those who have paid admission to the gardens .

A beautifully kept park - lots of diversity in the gardens ; signage is well thought out; a peaceful place to visit. The maze is cool ????????????

A must see during Christmas time ! This garden is lit up like a Christmas Tree ...like for reals!

If you're here for the cherry blossom festival ..I suggest u just go on any other streets in Vancouver.. there's not much Sakura trees in vandusen.. but the festival is a lot of fun itself!:)

A 55-acre eco-cocoon of 255,000 individual plants from around the world. Don’t miss the hedge maze. See if you can get to the monkey puzzle tree in the middle.

Have your hats scarves and gloves ready before exploring this awesome garden .

Buy your tickets ahead of time if possible - saves a lot of time in the busy holiday season!

Beautiful time with the family. Dress warmly (toque, mitts, and boots ). Dancing lights are very neat. Parking is a bit of a nightmare and it is very crowded .

Weeknights are peaceful here, a beautiful little getaway :) open till 9p in the summer months .

Cool garden with many types of plants. It also has a maze!

Varying closing times throughout the year. Between November to February, the gardens close at 2pm.

90% less crowded comparing with QE park ; well worth the entrance fee.

I visited twice. A great activity for the weekend.

Don't forget to check out the (somewhat hidden) hydrangea garden .

Worth to visit several times!

Awesome light show for Christmas .

Buy your tickets in advance for events like the Festival of Lights

There is a Geocache to find somewhere in the Garden . Details: http://coord.info/GCPDEG

Kind of unfair to not allow dogs and the staff said because it's a private park ?

The lotus are just starting to bloom. Good time for photographing them

Truffles now serves wine and beer with the views .

Terrible signage & map. Cart tours for handicapped only at 1, 2 & 3pm. No mention on website. Apathetic staff at Admissions counter. There was auto show, had to move off path for cars & exhaust fumes.

It was nice but probably better earlier in the summer.

Go get lost in the maze!

Simply stunning

Festival of Lights is magical

The Meditation Garden is very ideal for its purpose--my favourite spot!

Recommend it. Beautiful place.

Allergy allert

Take a moment to smell the roses ...in awareness

Explore the maze.
