The Assiniboine Park Conservatory

About the Conservatory

Visited annually by many thousands of people, the Assiniboine Park Conservatory offers a minimum of 10 different displays a year in the Floral Display Gallery, including Orchid and Bonsai shows and a special holiday lights display over the Christmas season. Dating from 1914, the Palm House exhibits a tropical jungle; visitors walk under a canopy of mature tropical trees and admire orchids selected from the Conservatory’s extensive collection. The Foyer features an amateur art gallery highlighting local artists, and acts as a classroom during off-hours.

Information on the lectures and workshops held at the Conservatory can be found in our Program Guide.

The new Star Conservatory Restaurant serves light meals and refreshments in a garden atmosphere.


The floral displays are presented in all seasons. Displays are changed at least 11 times during the year. The display area and Meso area of the Conservatory are available for pictures and private functions.

The list of 2010 Floral Displays is available at the information desk of the Conservatory, or by calling 311, or visit our Display Schedule.
