Extraordinary and a must see/do in Vancouver! - This was a fantastic place and we loved meandering through the 55 acre property. We especially enjoyed the little paths that led to sitting areas, waterfalls, streams, ponds, and so much more. We walked and walked and walked and never got bored. Extensive gift shop that I would visit to buy gifts for friends even if I didn't go into the gardens. There were two weddings going on while we were there and it never felt crowded. We wish we lived closer so we could visit regularly and see it during all the seasons.

Beautiful flowers, trees, and shrubs for that nature fix within the city. - Beautiful flowers, trees, and shrubs. Not being botanists we couldn’t say how unique it would be for a hobbyist, but for a regular tour it was well worth the trip to the garden. The maze was different and fun.

We Loved It! - We were in Vancouver an extra day, and looking for something inexpensive to do. I am so glad we visited VanDusen Garden! We were there on a lovely day, and the whole place seemed almost magical. I sat by the pond a long time and just tried to soak in the beauty. We had no trouble parking, which was great after a nightmare of trying to park at the aquarium. Just really lovely. Highly recommend!

Van Dusen botanical gardens - We enjoyed the gardens. It was much larger than I was expecting. We were planning to eat in the restaurant, but it was closed due to wedding. No washrooms except in the visitor center
