## About

Escape the brisk Minnesota November chill inside the tropical 75-degree warmth of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park in Saint Paul. The annual Fall Flower Show in the Sunken Garden features hundreds of vivid gold, copper, and bronze chrysanthemums in architectural tiers alongside cascading reflecting pools.

Open 365 days a year—including Thanksgiving Day—Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is completely free of charge and fully ADA/stroller accessible. Little ones can visit Polar Bear Odyssey and the indoor Primate House right next door before cozying up in the lush Palm Dome.
