Allan Gardens Conservatory

Allan Gardens Conservatory is the free downtown greenhouse loop at 19 Horticultural Avenue: the 1910 Palm House plus connected arid, tropical, orchid/bromeliad, and temperate show houses. Friends of Allan Gardens posts daily 10 a.m.–5 p.m., last entry 4:45 p.m.; City pages treat admission as free. Pets are not allowed inside (service animals are). No outside food or drink, no coat check. Casual photos on the paths are fine; anything with gear, staging, or exclusive use needs a City booking. Drones are banned. First-timers: weekday mornings are calm; the tropical and arid houses are the circuit. In winter this is the warmest free hour downtown. The surrounding park follows City hours. 416-392-7288.
