Bloedel Conservatory, Botanical garden in Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver, Canada
The geodesic dome structure contains more than 500 species of plants and 100 free-flying birds within three distinct climate zones under one roof.
The conservatory opened in 1969 after Prentice Bloedel donated 1.4 million dollars, marking the largest civic gift Vancouver had received at that time.
The facility functions as an educational center where visitors learn about tropical ecosystems, plant conservation, and the importance of environmental protection.
The conservatory operates with extended summer hours from May through August, while winter months see shorter operating schedules from October through April.
The aluminum framework of the dome, manufactured in Ottawa, traveled 3,000 miles across Canada and required only 10 days for its initial assembly.
