Queen Elizabeth Park Tours and Tickets

Q: Can you walk around Queen Elizabeth Park?

Yes, Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park is an ideal place for walking as it’s pretty compact. A short 0.26-mile (0.41-kilometer) trail leads up to a viewpoint above the city, while other trails stick to the lower gardens. It’s pretty easy to navigate, but having a map (available online) is helpful, as the curved trails can be confusing.

Q: Does Queen Elizabeth Park have free parking?

There is no free parking at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park, but there are paid parking lots at various places throughout the park. If you’re looking for free parking, you can park on-street at West 29th Avenue, Cambie Street, and Midlothian Avenue at the park's northern end.

Q: How long should you spend at Queen Elizabeth Park?

Between 2–3 hours is an ideal amount of time to spend in Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park, although you could spend the whole day here if you wanted to take your time. There are many things to enjoy here, including the Bloedel Conservatory, the Arboretum, the Quarry Gardens, walking trails, and more.

Q: Why is it called Queen Elizabeth Park?

Despite what you might assume, Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park isn’t named after Britain’s most recent queen, Elizabeth II. It was named in 1940, long before Elizabeth II took the throne, and was named after Elizabeth II’s mother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Consort, wife of King George VI. The royal couple had visited Vancouver in 1939 when the park was being built.

Excellent excursion full of beautiful nature sites around Vancouver

I would never imagine that urban sightseeing can be so pleasant and beautiful. Excellent weather helped a lot. All visited parks are amazing in autumn. Our guide and driver Jason Chen was patient, professional and reliable. He told us interesting stories and provided useful information. I've appreciated his flexibility concerning my request to drop me off at the Waterfront station.

See a lot in one day with a terrific tour guide!

This was our first time in Vancouver and we had a wonderful time. Jason Chen was a great tour guide for our small group. He knew a lot about the city, shared restaurant and snack recommendations, and made the trip thoroughly enjoyable. We definitely recommend the tour for newbies. We saw a lot in one day, which was just perfect.

A great day in beautiful Vancouver

Henry was fun! And he contacted us to make sure we knew where the pickup place was located. We shared our trip with five Chinese speaking travelers. Henry easily translated between all of us. He is a great ambassador for Vancouver. The tour itself was just what we wanted. Enough time in each spot to take a look around and decide if we wanted to come back We signed up for the Capalano suspension bridge and tree top bridges. This was one of the highlights of our whole trip and we were so glad we did it. Yes, the bridge does sway and bounce a bit. But on the other side the forest is beautiful, with comfortable seating, walking area and snacks. Loved our 1st day in Vancouver
