## About

The Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, a century-old Victorian greenhouse located in Como Park in St. Paul, hosts its iconic Fall Mum Show this weekend. Thousands of colorful chrysanthemums, autumn ornamental grasses, and fragrant plants bloom throughout the lush Palm Dome and conservatory corridors, offering families a tropical, constant-temperature oxygen bar like spring on a chilly early winter weekend. The main conservatory pathways are fully paved with flat, accessible stone flooring, making stroller navigation very smooth. The visitor service center has high-standard accessible family restrooms and baby changing tables, adjacent to indoor pathways and benches. Admission is completely free (small voluntary donations are welcome), and it is closely connected to the zoo, making it a classic, relaxing, and welcoming stroll for Twin Cities families on weekends.
