Allan Gardens Conservatory

Five public greenhouses in a historic downtown conservatory, open daily and free to enter.

What to expect

Allan Gardens Conservatory is an indoor botanical garden with a central Palm House and five greenhouse spaces for palms, tropical plants, cacti and seasonal displays. The City records a lineage on this site dating to the late 19th century; the present Palm House is its most recognisable building. It is a useful rainy-day stop a short walk east of Toronto’s central civic district.
