Lavenderland in Richmond is such a beautiful garden to visit, especially if you're looking for a…read morepeaceful, scenic spot, pretty photo areas, and a relaxing day outdoors. The lavender field is lovely, with plenty of beautiful spots to take photos and enjoy the view. It's a great place for couples, families, friends, or even a solo day-off visit like mine. They also have a parking lot that fits around 25 cars, which is helpful, plus a gift shop where you can check out lavender-themed items. I also tried the lavender ice cream, and it was delicious and refreshing after walking around the field. When I visited, the candle-making activity was not open yet, but I heard it will be available in July, which sounds like another fun reason to come back. Overall, it was a beautiful and calming experience. I'm glad I visited, and I would recommend checking it out if you love lavender, scenic views, and peaceful outdoor places.

was honoured to be invited to attend a june wedding here and it was the loveliest setting for an…read moreoutdoor celebration. the weather showed up, warm sun, a soft breeze, and the ceremony took place near the lavender fields, which made for a beautiful, calming backdrop (though sadly, i couldn't smell the lavender). there was a shaded pathway lined with billowing lavender organza draped overhead, gently fluttering in the breeze. it added such a whimsical, romantic feel, like walking through a dreamy lavender cloud. the property itself is a mix of gravel and grass, rustic and charming, though a little tricky in heels (we were basically aerating the lawn as we walked). still, there's something about the uneven ground and laid back setting that adds to the casual elegance. a barn on site served as 'behind the scenes' storage, fitting the countryside vibe perfectly. there were also a couple of spacious washrooms available, which is always appreciated at outdoor events. details like the fish pond, cinderella carriage, pergola, and lavender fields offered plenty of opportunities for beautiful, intimate photos throughout the day. overall, a relaxed and picturesque venue that suited this elegant summer wedding beautifully. it felt intimate, personal, and full of charm, a truly memorable place to say "i do."

Neat little old school farm in the middle of nowhere Richmond…read more Parking is available in a small lot a short walk away. There are some spots along Dyke Road. Try not to drive into the ditch for these spots. The farm buildings have been restored, and actually look pretty cool. There's a house, a barn, and a bunch of rusty old farm equipment. There is also a large community garden, and a bee section at the far end. Plenty of green space and paths to walk around too. Can't really comment on the high tea here but apparently it's available. Pretty neat to visit if one hasn't seen any 1800s buildings before. 1-2 hours is enough.

The Richmond City Hall building opened in 2000…read more It was designed with all the 'bells & whistles' of that time - exciting technology - efficiency & environmentally themed - all of which still stand the test of time - 20 years later. I've been inside a few times to pay my utility bills & it's because of that, that I've never thought - you know what while I'm giving away my money, I think I'll write a review & take some pics to share with everyone! How cool huh = not!! LMAO! Of course now with Coronavirus wrecking havoc on the world - everyone's priorities & lifestyle has changed! I've taken the time to smell the roses as they say & appreciate the finer things in life - like being outdoors more & breathing oh my gosh - fresh air!!! Whoa amazing! Once life is semi back to normal I'll go back & take interior pics - hopefully before those city officials demand more money from me!!! For now please enjoy these pics I've taken of the surrounding area outside city hall! By the way if you like, download the city hall app, then hold your cell up close to your nose & gently rub your screen with your index finger. You might begin to smell the sweet aphrodisiac scent emanating from these beautiful red flowers!!! Get outta here! Bye!

Older but decent venue space in the Marpole area…read more Parking is available along the side streets. The inside isn't the most wheelchair accessible, as there are steps. Something to keep in mind.

My only con about this venue is for the ladies in heels. We were seated outside and when we were asked to stand, a few of us had our heels stuck in the cracks.

The sunset must be beautiful, as it would be visible beyond the river that this is located on, but it was winter, and since I was of the "other friends" group that arrived after dinner, it was dark already. The space itself wasn't too large. I am guessing 100 or less for standing/dancing, and less for sit-down meals. The path leading up to the hall is as to be expected of a nautical place (deck or metal with holes), but it wasn't too difficult to navigate with heeled shoes. I'm not sure if the catering was from here or hired separately, but the cheesecake bites were good! Not too sweet nor too heavy.

"Open to the public at the Ukrainian Centre on the third Friday of every month except July, August and December." as indicated on their site. They also wrote " Enjoy perennial Ukrainian favourites of borscht, pyrohy (perogies), kobassa (Ukrainian garlic sausage), holubtsi (cabbage rolls) and various chef's specials. Friendly family setting with budget conscious prices."

I have now stayed at all of the Holiday Inn properties in Richmond and have to say this hotel is…read morethe best of the three. Stayed at this Holiday Inn Express on an overnight trip with my family to Richmond and Vancouver. It is located within the Riverport entertainment complex in Richmond, which is away from the main part of Richmond. The hotel is relatively small as there are only a few floors. Check-in was slow as there was one person at the front desk and a somewhat long line. Once checked in, I was able to park in the lot behind the hotel. Unlike the other Holiday Inn locations, parking is free here. We stayed in a comfy double bedded room, which had a mini fridge and microwave inside the room. There is a free daily hotel breakfast available downstairs and the selection was better than expected. Offerings include pancakes, eggs, sausage, baked beans, cinnamon rolls and rice. The hotel also has recreational facilities as there is a pool, fitness centre and a fenced basketball court outside. I really like this location as it feels quiet and secluded. You do not hear much street traffic in this area at night, which is a huge plus. It is preferable to have a car as there are not a lot of restaurants nearby. However, taking public transportation is doable as there are nearby bus stops along Steveston Highway. I would consider staying at this hotel again if I am doing another overnight trip up to Richmond and Vancouver due to room comfort and its amenities.

There is also a mini basketball hoop and you can borrow a ball at the desk. There is an ice skating rink on this property and also a movie theater. I don't mind coming back to stay here again for 1 night. You can hear some road noise. It's off the beaten path of Richmond BC. There are many blueberry farms and huge mansions along No #6 road. Breakfast was mediocre and i have had better.
