Bloedel Conservatory

Bloedel Conservatory is located atop Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, and opened in 1969. It is both a botanical garden and a large bird sanctuary, offering not only pleasing flora but also bird-watching opportunities, making it a favorite among visitors.

The iconic silver glass domed roof of Bloedel Conservatory has a diameter of 43 meters and a height of 21 meters, consisting of 1,490 acrylic panels. At night, it transforms into a glowing giant firefly. Through the silver glass, one can see the lush green leaves of tropical plants inside. Adjacent to the greenhouse is a large fountain pool with dozens of jets spraying water at varying heights, shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight. The garden is home to over 500 species of plants, ranging from mountain flowers to desert plants, including blue camellias, citrus plants, coffee trees, eucalyptus, figs, gardenias, magnolias, and hibiscus.

The conservatory is also home to more than 100 species of birds that live happily here, flying freely and joyfully. The garden is open seven days a week, year-round except for Christmas Day.
