Geschichte von VanDusen Botanical Garden

VanDusen Botanical Garden opened in 1975 on the site of the former Shaughnessy Golf Course, in the residential south of Vancouver. The 22-hectare garden is now managed by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, with the VanDusen Botanical Garden Association.

VanDusen Botanical Garden holds more than 7,500 plant species arranged across over 60 themed gardens, per a 2026 guide, including the Sino-Himalayan Garden, which shows plants from the mountains of south-western China and the Himalayas. The Elizabethan Hedge Maze, planted in 1981 with about 2,500 English yew bushes, takes about 15 minutes to solve.

VanDusen Botanical Garden runs a Festival of Lights from late November to early January, when more than 1.5 million LED lights are strung through the site. The garden's Bloedel Conservatory, a domed glass conservatory at Queen Elizabeth Park, is a separate site with its own ticket.

Regeln & Etikette in VanDusen Botanical Garden

VanDusen Botanical Garden sells tickets online through ShowPass per a 2026 listing, and admission prices exclude GST, so the final cost is slightly higher than the listed price. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing, so late arrivals may be turned away.

VanDusen Botanical Garden asks visitors to stay on paths and not pick flowers, take cuttings or step into beds. Picnic and dog rules follow the garden's posted policy, and the official page did not list them when checked, so ask at the entrance.

VanDusen Botanical Garden's paths are mostly gravel and boardwalk, with some slopes, and rain makes boardwalks slick. Group visits of 10 or more paid tickets receive a 10 percent discount.

Tipps für den Besuch von VanDusen Botanical Garden

1
VanDusen Botanical Garden is best in May and June for rhododendrons, peonies and roses, and in mid to late October for autumn colour. Visit on a weekday morning for quiet paths, and allow about two hours to see the main gardens and the maze.
2
VanDusen Botanical Garden is reached by bus 17 Oak, or by the Canada Line to Oakridge-41st Avenue Station and a 15-minute walk. A TransLink adult 1-zone fare is CAD 2.85 with Compass from 1 July 2026, and street parking nearby is limited.
3
VanDusen Botanical Garden's Festival of Lights runs from late November to early January, and its hours are shorter from November to February, with closing at 14:00, so a winter daytime visit is brief. Combine a visit with Queen Elizabeth Park and the Bloedel Conservatory, about 2.5 km east, for a half-day of gardens.
