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.

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!

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.

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 :)

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!

Exotic plants, turtles, fish. Gardens are in great shape. They even had a cute Christmas display with a red and white train arrangement and an actual train driving around in one corner. And for free?! A great stop for an afternoon. We visited in December and while the place was under construction so we didn't get to see everything. The center section was closed so we had to walk around the outside to get to the other houses. There is on street parking and a park nearby.
