VANCOUVER :: FEATURED ATTRACTIONS :: |
| Van
Dusen Gardens |
 Within
a stone’s throw of downtown Vancouver lies
Van Dusen Gardens, a world-class
botanical garden. The majestic evergreens
throughout the site pre-date the garden, and
the gardens have evolved around them. Paved
pathways lead to wonderful plant groups
including hollies (the largest collection in
Canada), bamboos, magnolias, rhododendrons and
azaleas which, in late spring, attracts
visitors from all over. You’ll find various
theme gardens within Van Dusen’s 55-acres,
including large formal and informal perennial
borders, a children’s garden, rose and
lakeside gardens. |
| H.R.
MacMillan Space Centre |
 Choose
from a galaxy of presentations, from star
finding and children’s shows to dazzling
laser light and astronomy shows in the Star
Theatre. The Cosmic Courtyard includes
hands-on exhibits, space artifacts, and
interpretive videos and computer games to
travel the solar system, dock the shuttle,
touch a real moon rock, visit the
International Space Station and morph yourself
into an alien. |
| Dr.
San Yat Sen Gardens |
 It’s
hard to imagine such serenity could exist
amidst Vancouver’s bustling Chinatown, but
these gardens are a walled treasure of
tranquility. Named for the founder of the
first Chinese republic who visited Vancouver
many times, Dr. San Yat Sen Gardens is the
first (and to date, only) garden of its kind
to be created outside of China. |
