UBC Botanical Gardens Reviews

The garden is amazing! It's definitely worth going on the treewalk too, you get way up in the air above everything, super peaceful & gorgeous views!!

If you're looking for adventure and like the Wilderness this is a good place to go. The Greenheart Treewalk here is not as scary as some others in the area and is a better option for those of us who don't do well on exhibition rides. When using Google Maps to get there use the search for UBC botanical gardens instead of the green Heart Tree walk because the green Heart Tree walk will take you in the wrong direction once you get there.

Nice place to visit once a year! Next year will go there in May to Jun

Wow. Really wonderful botanical garden. The Greenheart TreeWalk was worth the admission. (We went on a weekday morning, so there were very few people there.)

What a place for a family adventure it is one of the greatest place i have visited in Vancouver

Depress the place is all dry in many places very abandoned, the other botanic garden is better by far and the forest next door is better more beautiful and free

Pretty scenaries include ocean observation, north arm of Freser rever /delta, really highly diverse collection of plants on relatively confined territories, location is very good/ precious=comfortable! Very clean. There are amazing mix of wildness and super developed areas, but all of them are comfortable. A lot of construction though. Many well placed benches. Cosy place for relaxation, observation, parties, all types of special events meticulously designed and well maintained. Nice visit, convenient for use on regular basis.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic scenery. Tree top walk is a blast. Allow 2-3 hours to take everything in. Group on has some great family coupons which saves you some money.

Nice walk, but not much to see since the flowers r not blooming yet. Taking advantage of the last free weekend and the sunshine to enjoy the garden.

Tree walk is closed November until early spring but the fall colors and gardens are worth going for. Plus they have coffee. Entrance by donation.

A great place to see the wonders of nature in Vancouver. Lots of variety of flora and fauna. Make sure you check out the tree walk.

Enjoyed the walk, not too long, not too short. Would recommend it to anyone with 30-45 minutes to spare and discover something new while at it.

Lots of trails and gardens to explore and so many awe-inspiring large trees.

The UBC Botanical Garden is so beautiful. There is a few great places for events, such as weddings!

Very beautiful and unique garden.
You will see all wild plants and flowers which you haven't seen before.
It is a pretty botanical Jardine, You can see all kinds of wild flowers where you have never seen ..

It's awesome. Apple festival is the best. Don't miss out on Canadian Taffy.

Excellent park, hanging bridges - the main feature, I liked it very much, sorry that I did not visit before

Nice venue. Went there for a wedding recently. Only 2 bathroom stalls available though... not ideal for large events.

Great place to relax and enjoy nature or to walk around above it all.

Great botanical garden, very pretty plants and lots of trails to explore. We also did the treetop walk which was cool, and great that it doesnt harm the trees. Very relaxing retreat from the city.

What an amazing experience! Many paths to walk along and plants to discover.

Not very interesting place. Epsecially taking into account they have admission fee and locates so far.

The tree walk was cool. Really peaceful place to visit. Good date place.

Not too much to see in late Autumn. Safe to walk and the tree up walkway is a real attraction.

Extraordinary!
Natural simplicity is owesome..

Hidden gem at UBC. Lots of fun for kids and adults.

Nice place to spend an after noon. Neat tree walk. Lots of laces to take pictures and relax.

Wonderful cleansing walk on the forest.
Garden shop is open with interesting plants

This place is beautiful and somebody thought I was there to attend a lesbian wedding, which, I mean, fair. Look at me. But I also looked homeless and was nowhere near fancy enough for that.

Informative place for knowing about the plants. Could be better

Really good time. Feels more 'natural' and less sculpted like Van Dusen. I think this and the anthropology museum are making it into my "take the friends visiting the city" tour.

An incredible garden with all sorts of plants and flora. Also has a tree walk that's a tremendous amount of fun.

The price makes it so I can never take people here. It's neat.

A bit pricey but truly a wonderful experience! Lovely garden, and the Tree Walk was a real treat

Google map lead us opposite way than where it is located which was frustrating. Garden is nice and quiet. Best part is the treeline walkway totally worth doing.

so beautiful!!! definitely do the tree walk on the suspension bridges it s so much fun and you can see the entire park from above!

Beautiful and very well maintained. Tree walk is very good, it can be scary though. If you re afraid of heights take a deep breath before start, don t worry it s enjoyable! We bought a sandwich in the Cafe, it was delicious.

Very beautiful and diverse garden. They even have a tunnel underground that goes across Marine Drive.

This was a venue for our corporate event in September this year. The staff are extremely helpful and resourceful and the gardens themselves are delightful. Such a gem in Vancouver and definitely worthy of a visit. Also worthy as an event venue from weddings to garden parties. It is set up really well, the gardens are mature and wonderfully well kept!

Nice place but a bit overpriced. The forest trails are the prettiest part of these gardens. The treetop hike is pretty cool too.

If you want gardens then Van Dusen botanical gardens is better value for your money.

Amazing selection of plants, well organized, well maintained.

This beautiful garden is absolutely massive, with trails that go on and on. Which makes it great fun for a family to take kids to as there's no inclines along the way, there are also little hidden paths near flower beds that will peak any child's curiosities.

Entrance fee is under $11.00 dollars for one adult and parking is free for the first three hours, which is just enough for a quick walk before going further down the road for the museum of anthropology.

I enjoyed every single step in this garden. I even enjoyed walking throug Greenheart TreeWalk (and I have fear of highs). It's a nice place to visit when you are sick and tired of the city, but you can always go to the Stanley Park as well.

I took my young daughter on the raised tree canopy walkway. A great learning experience.
The botanical garden store has a fantastic plant selection and really helpful and knowledgeable staff. Thanks

VERY NICE PARK. LOTS OF SMALL TRAILS TO WALK. TREE TOP CANOPY WALK IS FUN

Beautiful, loved the mulched pathways and Asian gardens. Very quiet and serene!

We did the tree walk and it was a blast! Definitely recommended for those who are not faint-of-heart. If you get the Groupon, it is so worth it. The gardens are also beautiful. A great place for a wedding.

The Greenheart tree walk is the highlight of the garden.

Really beautiful garden, way less people than Vandusen. The tree walk was fun but a bit scary.

Great place to escape campus life and get close to nature. Beautiful gardens!

all i can say it is bigger and much more to offer than the one here at UAlberta Botanical Gardens just outside of Edmonton. My wife and I went there about 45 minutes to close, it wasn't enough time, but next time, we will go there in an earlier time to enjoy the whole garden.

We went there in the autumn last year and it was nice even though raining. Good to check out at different seasons, see different things blooming. Peaceful. Tree bridges going from tree to tree, very nice but not danger at all. Good for families.

The garden isn t super structured but it is full of interesting things. The gift shop is great and they sell a ton of special and unique plants and seeds for good prices. Worth a look.

Beautiful. Must try the Greenheart TreeWalk. Staff were awesome as well!

As a plant and nature lover this is a place to visit to check diversity. Cool stuff is also to try the top walk. Not sure exact name but a suspension bridge like experience is definitely a thing to try.

Wow. I wish I could have been on the guided tour. Simply stunning Gardens.

The suspended walkways and tree platforms are an interesting experience, albeit for $9 CD more than base admission, and the garden as a whole has some interesting aspects, but very few plants were labeled, so the educational value is quite limited. We enjoyed the elevated tree walk but were disappointed overall with this attraction.

beautiful plants, lots of variety and educational signs. the Treewalk is a lot of fun and definitely a good addition to the park. spotted some frogs while sitting near the Garden Pavilion!

I really enjoyed their medicinal garden, as well as food garden and actually all on that side of the tunnel

Beautiful site with great diversity. Staff were very informative. Well worth exploring.
