The 2026 show takes the northern lights as its theme, using poinsettias in burgundy, pink, variegated, yellow and white to echo the colors of the aurora borealis, with kalanchoe and silvery foliage from eucalyptus and 'Silver Falls' dichondra as accents. The warm glass conservatory makes an easy winter outing with young children, and families can pair the show with a walk through the rest of the conservatory and Como Zoo next door. Admission is free; Como invites a voluntary donation of $8 per adult and $5 per child to help care for its plants and animals, and visitors are welcome whether or not they give. The conservatory is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with extended Monday hours on select dates. ## Similar picks in Minneapolis - [Zinghoppers Holiday Show at Edinborough Park](https://grassyknees.com/minneapolis/activities/zinghoppers-holiday-show-at-edinborough-park--listing-7de5f38c87ef8304616df470) — Fri, Nov 20 · 5:15 PM – 7:15 PM · Edinborough Park - Amphitheater, Edina · Free · checked Oct 20.
