Vancouver Park Board - Queen Elizabeth Park - Bloedel Floral Conservatory

The Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park will remain open until further notice.

Regular operating hours (10.00 am - 5.00 pm daily) are in effect. The Park Board is currently developing a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) for business cases/concept plans for the future use of the facility in a similar or new capacity. It is anticipated that the RFEOI will be released by the end of January 2010 with responses accepted until April 30, 2010. After that time, there will be a period to review and discuss any submissions.

For more information, please contact Octavio Silva at 604-718-5890.

During the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games

Due to its proximity to the Vancouver Olympic / Paralympic Centre, parking and access to Queen Elizabeth Park will be limited during the 2010 Winter Games.

From Feb 16 – 27, access to Queen Elizabeth Park will be restricted to one entrance and exit – at 33rd & Cambie. All other park access roads will be closed off to the public.

A $20 all day parking fee will be in effect throughout Queen Elizabeth Park. Parking passes should be purchased at the Vinci Park booth at the Park entrance. Cash and credit cards are accepted. After 8 pm on Feb 16 – 24 and after 4 pm on Feb 25 – 27, regular parking rates and rules apply.

Those purchasing a $20 parking ticket will receive a coupon
valid for up to four admissions at 50% off our regular price.

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.
