What To Expect

Bloedel Conservatory
Whether you are interested in beautifully colored birds, tropical forests and flowers, or the more subtle scents of a healing garden, Bloedel Conservatory offers something for every member of your family.

Wander among 200, colorful free flying birds! You will find red, blue and dwarf Macaws, African parrots, exotic Finches and Chinese pheasants at Bloedel. Don’t be surprised if they answer when you say hello. Chatty parrots and 230 free-flying birds appear effortlessly at home in the exotic environment of Bloedel Conservatory. Handy bird guides and a children’s scavenger hunt are available at the front desk.

Explore the tropical ecosystems! Bloedel Conservatory contains three different climate zones, and demonstrates the importance of habitat protection and plant conservation. Biodiversity greatly increases closer to the equator, and many of the world’s most endangered ecosystems are found there. The first zone is the tropical rain forest. The tropical rain forest habitat is the most complex and diverse ecosystem on earth. One hectare of some rain forests have been found to contain more tree species than exist in all of Canada. next is the subtropical rain forest habitat with brighter light and less humidity is ideal for growing orchids. Banyan and fig trees are the perfect backdrop for these exotic blooms. Finally in the desert zone, humidity is kept low to simulate life in the desert. Succulents and cacti are the stars in this area of the Conservatory. Bloedel Conservatory offers a taste of each these ecosystems.

A healing garden engages the senses and the Bloedel Conservatory does just that. The most obvious of these is sight, but smell, touch, taste and auditory input can all be present. We gain positive effects on our emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and social well being from being exposed to nature or horticultural activities.

Affordable, fun and instructive.

Totally worth a visit. Located in the Queen Elizabeth Gardens the conservatory is an inexpensive experience that is fun for visitors of all ages. The birds are fantastic to watch with stunning colors and behaviors. The visit takes approximately one hour and should be combined with the visit of the Queen Elizabeth park.
Amazing place

Really beautiful tropical plants and stunning birds - an absolutely lovely place to spend an hour or two. Our favourite was Art, the blue and gold macaw
One of the highlights of my Vancouver trip

I came across this Conservatory while exploring Queen Elizabeth Park. Although I had no plans to visit this dome structure, I am glad that I did as I discovered a brilliant world inside filled with tropical birds and vegetation.

Though modest in size, the captivating sights and sounds are worth the price of admission. A must see for those who are interested in exotic birds and lush greenery.
Good place to visit (if you are already visiting queen Elisabeth park)

Good place to visit (if you are visiting queen Elisabeth park). There are interesting birds and plants but not too much species. Tbh, its a bit small but, as the ticket was ~$7.50 each for adults, I think it is worth the visiting (we spent 20-25 minutes inside). The only downside was the apparent mice infestation (we saw at least 10 walking around). I hope the administration takes care of that since (I believe) it may bring diseases to the birds and even to the visitors.
Nice birds, a bit expensive for the size.

I enjoyed my visit and got some great pictures of the birds and plants.
It's not very big, so take your time and go slowly (or go around multiple times).
I did think $7 per person was a bit expensive for the size.
