About this adventure
When outdoor temperatures drop well below zero, the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park provides an idyllic, 75-degree tropical sanctuary. Housed under a historic 1915 glass dome, the Sunken Garden presents its legendary Winter Flower Show, showcasing lush displays of fragrant cyclamen, vibrant cineraria, velvet amaryllis, and pink camellias reflected in clear pools. Toddlers and parents can shed bulky winter parkas and stroll along warm stone walkways surrounded by towering palm trees, lush ferns, and koi ponds. Next door inside the zoo, families can visit the Polar Bear Odyssey, sea lions, and tropical rain forest indoor habitats. Free admission with voluntary donation makes it the ultimate accessible winter escape.
