These lush sunken gardens are a prime spot for picnickers and wedding
parties. Climb up to the conservatory terrace, which affords a marvelous
view of the city, water, and mountains, and then spend a good hour
bird-watching inside the triotetic-domed conservatory, which is
home to more than eighty species from all over the world. Don’t
miss Rosie, the African gray parrot whose impressive repertoire
of tongue-clucks and whistles indicates just how many tourists have
tormented her over the years.
Queen Elizabeth Park also offers a rose garden, 20 tennis courts,
a pitch-and-putt, and a restaurant.
