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. ## Similar picks in Minneapolis - [Marjorie McNeely Conservatory: Northern Lights Holiday Flower Show](https://grassyknees.com/minneapolis/activities/marjorie-mcneely-conservatory-northern-lights-holiday-flower-show--listing-030c4a51da8ed7982c7e9f86) — Open daily 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM; Special evening hours select dates 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM · Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park, St Paul · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
