The Conservatory is open daily, rain or shine. The triodetic dome is filled exotic plants, tropical flowers, colorful Koi fish and over 100 free-flying birds of various species. Tropical plants include palms,bromeliads and the many other exotic plants from around the world.

It was constructed through a very generous donation from Prentice Bloedel in 1969. That same donation enabled the Park Board to cover the main reservoir atop Queen Elizabeth Park.

The conservatory sits beside the beautiful Quarry Gardens and a panoramic 180 degree view of Vancouver's skyline and mountain backdrop.
