“Visitors are reminded to keep two metres apart from others at all times, and the path in the conservatory will be one way to support physical distancing,” the Park Board said.

The gift shop will remain closed and washrooms will be sanitized throughout the day.

The Bloedel Conservatory is located at the top of the hill in Queen Elizabeth Park. It’s a large class dome that contains parrots, macaws, cockatoos, and many smaller bird species.

Admission costs $6.90 for adults.
