温哥华植物园

很漂亮滴花园！很大！值得关注！建议大家伙儿如果在温哥华附近游玩，一定要抽空去看看！溜达溜达！我们去的时候是夏季，到处都是美丽动人的鲜花和友善的人群！实在让人难忘！我们还在树丛迷宫里完了好久！真是一个让人去了还想再去的好地方！

也许夏天会好玩一些，但现在这个花都没怎么开的时候真心不好看，尤其还是一个阴森恐怖的下雨天，感觉根进了恐怖世界一样，到处都是诡异的建筑，随时都担心会在某个地方突然跳出来一个怪兽，太恐怖的经历了，噩梦

Visited Aug./14 and very impressed with this gem of a place in the city. As an avid gardener (from Ontario) I was delighted by all the different flowers/plants/trees and water features in the gardens. There are themes in different area's and I leisurely took my time to enjoy them all. Great place for photography.If I lived in Vancouver I'd get an annual pass to enjoy all the seasons. Every enjoyable.

The numerous staff are stunningly disorganizedSome are pleasant the manger plain rude The food is attractive but not tastyThere is so much wrong with the service it is mind boggling

If you like flowers or plants you will have a very lovely and scenic stroll here in VanDusen garden. This garden is gigantic, you will not have a chance to see the entire garden in one visit, so if there is a particular area you would like to go to you should probably check out the map and plan accordingly. Some fun places I like to go to are the ponds, the hedge maze, the waterfall and the vegetable garden.Nice seeing some ducks, herons, and geese at the different ponds occasionally. Also used to regularly see a Barred Owl here near dusk.Sometimes there are events held here on the main lawn or in the main building.There is a cafe and both indoor/outdoor seating for it in the main building but I haven't went there much.In the winter there is the spectacular Festival of Lights held here which is a wonderful Christmas activity to do in Vancouver and not to be missed.

With our grandchildren here for a visit, we decided to head to VanDusen Gardens so they could run off steam. The Maze is always an attraction that children love as well a chance to run and climb on the sculptures and rocks. We enjoyed the camellias and magnolias that were in full bloom and signs of spring everywhere.If you are in Vancouver during Spring Break - it's an outing certainly worth considering.

We visited on the first weekend of March and were enchanted by the beauty of this gorgeous site as it bursts into vibrant life. The early cherry and plum blossoms, the buttery witch hazel and the fuzzy, creamy magnolias along with the showy camellias, occasional primroses and sweet, early rhodos were a pure spring tonic. We look forward to a couple more weeks of warmth before we can enjoy the spring bulbs and rhododendrons in full flush.

Flowers, magnificent trees, interesting sculptures and a very nice cafe (we only had coffee) with friendly competent waitstaff.

As professional garden designers and arborists, we have been spending a day at Van Dusen over our last 15 glorious years visiting Vancouver and the region. What a diverse and inspiring place! I'm sorry the previous golf course had to fold but I am thrilled that Van Dusen was created by such talented and knwledgeable horticultural people. While in Boston we have the Arnold Arboretum and the Tower Hill Botanical Garden and some nurseries with fantastic garden design, Van Dusen is in a sphere all its own. You certainly don't have to be a professional to appreciate Van Dusen; there's something for everyone here.You can always enjoy flowers and trees without knowing how rare they sometimes are! And there's so much to discover, for kids and adults alike. We particularly love the English border gardens, the hillside lawn with laurels and sculptures, the collections of Japanese maples, the water bodies, highlighted by gunnera, 15'H rhododendrons and camellias, the equatorial plants and the enclosed meditation garden.Vancouver is located in z.8 (in my home, Boston, we are Z.5!) so you will see many many species that you are not familiar with and might not be able to grow in your area, but then again, that's why we travel, right?! (By the way, their shop is filled with lovely things.) The only drawback I can think of for Van Dusen Gardens- is that it is not located around the corner from my house! I want to live there!!p.s. If what you really love is bold displays of Annuals- pansies, geraniums, impatience, you might better enjoy Queen Elizabeth Park and Butchart Gardens near Victoria.

Mass array of vegetation from all over the world, pleasant gardens with water features and excellent for photography.

This park is a special experience not to be missed when visiting Vancouver. The gardens are spectacualr and change with the seasons so spring summer fall and winter you get something different. There is a pond with water fowl and a gift shop and restaurant, lots of parking, great for families with elederly. The park is surrounded by city thoroughfares but inside you'd have no idea the buzy was there.

Went to VanDusen for the first time even though I live in the Lower Mainland. Must say I was a little underwhelmed. Maybe it's because of the time I went, there were for obvious reasons not many flowers in bloom but still found it to be nice but not great. It is definitely a nice relaxing place to go for a walk and enjoy nature but I'm not sure I felt the price was worth the visit. I've heard its great for Christmas time when they have the light display so I will save my next visit for then. Must also point out that they are not a breastfeeding friendly facility, which I was actually quite surprised about. They have no facilities whatsoever for breastfeeding (I asked 4 different people) and in the end was provided a chair in the admissions area of the Visitors Centre so I could breastfeed facing a wall.

My partner and I were here in the summer and LOVED it! We heard Vancouver had an early spring and were hoping to see the city in full bloom with cherry, magnolia and camellia blossoms. And some of that is happening at VanDusen. Love Truffles Café for a snack before the walkabout.Beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of birds calling about. Love the Monkey Puzzle Trees!

We have visited the garden at various seasons and certainly Winter isn't the garden's best time. But there are still some flowering plants. The grounds are still very relaxing to walk. The maze is still fun for children. Etc. It's just a great place to go for a walk, maybe have some afternoon tea (although they were out this time!!).

This garden is gorgeous...lovely place to walk and to see a huge variety of beautiful fauna and flora...you can get a snack or tea and lunch as well. Good for kids too!
