Parks in Toronto

Allan Gardens

A downtown botanical oasis whose centrepiece is a grand 1910 glass Palm House surrounded by six connected greenhouses of palms, orchids, cacti, and tropical blooms. The conservatory is open every day and entirely free, making it a reliable warm escape on a grey winter afternoon. The surrounding park is one of the city’s oldest, though the indoor gardens are the real draw.
