Allan Gardens

Absolutely beautiful! Great place to visit. It's definitely fun if you're really into exotic tropical plants. There is much to see, and the variety inside is just gorgeous; it feels like paradise. Cozy and warm experience during the winter, and the decor is amazing and seems well-maintained and taken care of. My husband and I were here 30 years ago for our wedding now, and it still looks wonderful. Would recommend going earlier on a weekday to avoid the crowds. Check it out and enjoy the scenery.

Very nice park and green house. There are two big sized green house (garden) in the park. A lot of healthy plants inside the green house and you can just walk around freely to enjoy admiring the plants there. For example you can see some cactus plants, money trees and lots of different types of plants that i cannot named them all here. This garden is a very chill place. You can just sit down and relax on a bench inside to enjoy a warm afternoon. One of the green house has small ponds and there were some turtles and fishes, also a little fountain as well. A very good place for family to visit.

Don’t let ongoing renovations stop you from visiting. These free public gardens are beautiful to wonder through and enjoy a peaceful moment to yourself. I enjoyed seeing the turtles sunbathing by the waterwheel. At one point I spotted a plump squirrel in one of the greenhouses, little guy must be living good in there. The dedication and time put into these overflowing garden is incredible, and well worth the 15 minutes it takes to walk through the greenhouses.

Allan Gardens may be undergoing renovations, but it’s still a fantastic spot to visit. The variety of plants, trees, and other species is impressive, making it a visual delight. The greenhouse offers a warm tropical escape, perfect for a break from the cold or to explore nature in warmer climates. Best of all, there’s no admission fee, and it’s open from 9 AM to 5 PM. They also host community events and plant sales! The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, contributing to an overall wonderful and educational experience. I can't wait to return once the renovations are complete. Definitely worth a visit!

Great conservatory with a large variety of plants spread across two rooms, provided a great escape from the cold weather. In addition to plants, there are several koi and turtles to watch when you visit. The place itself is not very large, so visits can be short.

This is a GREAT date activity, especially in the winter when it’s cold outside. We had a chance to walk around and talk and explore all kinds of trees, fish and turtles! It’s free and a mini escape of the hustle and bustle of downtown life.

Beautiful gem in the city! Greenhouses have so many unique and thriving plants, it feels like you are walking through a different world. Be sure to check out both entrances if the connection is still closed. One is by the playground and the other is closer to the dog park. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I recently visited Allan Gardens on our trip to Toronto. It beyond exceeded my expectations! What a beautiful little slice of paradise amongst a busy city! We went on a Saturday and were so delighted to find they had organized a scavenger hunt! We went expecting a quick walk around, but we ended up staying for close to an hour! The staff were helpful and so pleasant. I highly recommend checking out Allan Gardens if ever in Toronto! We will be back for sure :)
