Under construction so only a portion of the space was still open to the public - but if you are looking for a free way to entertain your kids or just get outside for a meditative stroll, Allan Gardens is a gem.
Allan Gardens is a botanical gem in Toronto! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The vibrant array of plants and flowers creates a breathtaking oasis. The conservatory's Victorian charm adds a unique touch to the experience. A perfect escape for nature lovers, offering a serene retreat in the heart of the city. The knowledgeable staff enhances the visit with insightful information. Truly a must-visit destination for anyone seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
The staff has done so beautifully on the Christmas decorations this year! My favorite theme is in the cooler fish pond house. I love all the pink and green! Of course the turtle's are always such a gift. Watching them sunbathe and piling up on top of each other. I enjoy the turtle yoga and seeing them yawn is just too cute.
I can't find nicer words to explain how magical this place is! The staff is super helpful and really welcoming. Loved every second of this trip.
Don't hesitate to pay Allan Gardens a visit. Nobody could stay stressed inside. Just sit by the bridge and watch the water-wheel and turtles forever. ❤️

One of the most beautiful and special corners of Toronto! The Allan Garden Botanivo is a greenhouse garden with a diversity of incredible plants and flowers!
It has two entrances: the first is access to the side of the church and in front of the playground, and the second is the entrance to the dog park area.
The building is currently under renovation, so it is not possible to walk from end to end in the central part, but using the two entrances you can see a lot of species. It has an accessible entrance for wheelchair users and people with low physical mobility.
The garden has a fountain with some carp and a second fountain with some turtles (be careful when walking, as they roam the garden). The tour is worth it and is free.
Easy access from the College subway station.

Free indoor botanical gardens with different sections for different plants. I love coming here for a relaxing afternoon. Unfortunately their open hours are not that long. Currently some sections are under renovation, so much of it is closed.
Overall very well maintained!

Beautiful garden! Such a nice breath of fresh air in the city. The plants were all so well taken care of and vibrant. The volunteer was so helpful, giving us directions and letting us know where to find the different plants. The highlight for us was the turtles. There were so many!! We spent a solid ten minutes just admiring them. Will definitely be back!
