City: Vancouver
The crowning glory of Queen Elizabeth Park is the Bloedel Conservatory, built in 1969 at the hightest point in Vancouver at 501 ft (153m). The Conservatory features three biomes within its expansive triodetic dome - the second largest structure of its kind in North America. Simulated rain forest, subtropic, and desert environments feature over 500 species of plants from the tropical regions of the world. Over 100 free-flying birds and parrots also make their home here, complemented by a waterfall and natural basalt rock pool teeming with Japanese "Koi" fish. A great place to visit in any weather!
