A peaceful place filled with unique flowers, bushes and trees. Inside will be found a collection of exotic plants that have been delivered here from around the world. Outside, in the summer, there are the perennial gardens with a plethora of plants that can grow and thrive in our northern climate. The greenhouses are being renovated (2022) and the renovations will eventually bring new life to the main building, but for this summer, it is still open for everyone's enjoyment. Bring a book on a cold winter day; enjoy a cup of tea under the lemon tree; check out the newest blooming flowers. Each week brings new things to discover. I hope the city will continue to expand their vision for this hidden jewel! Open up the cactus room, add a coffee shop or gallery store...fix the road so that the elderly from Hogarth can be wheeled over safely.

I really like this place, only visited twice and definitely want to come back here when it's all done up fancy like the plan I have in the pictures. Lots of different plants and flowers, they were all so pretty and cool. I loved all the tiny decor, like the mini fairy garden. I found the little name plates were nice and useful, but wish they were all on all the plants, cause some plants were not identifiability. Loved how some of the trees had fruits there, so you could see them growing. It's to bad the green house area was closed, but nice you could look in still to see all the succulents. I highly recommend you visited with family and friends.

It is a beautiful little place. Coming from a tropical country, it was just fun to see a lot of familiar plants and trees inside. It is free but you could leave a donation in a donation box right in the entrance. The tropical plants are nothing new to us but the different cactus that they have are very new for us but that side was close and we didn’t get the chance to see them up close.

A hidden jewel of Thunder Bay! Delightful visits into the conservatory brings you up close to beautiful flora from various countries around the world and locally. Walking paths with a variety to see and benches for stopping and enjoying the views. It's a small but mighty conservatory - a great place to visit, to relax, to see the proof that true beauty always grows from within.

Absolutely love this place! It may seem small, but there's a huge variety of unique and interesting plants to see. The cactus gardens were closed to the public during my visit in January 2020 due to a structural issue with the glass ceiling, but the view from the entryway is certainly worth checking out.

Over a decade visiting Thunder Bay, I’ve never been to the conservatory. Definitely, a hidden treasure for people to seek out and visit. Very nice place to escape the cold of winter. Need to try to see it when its fully blooming. Just missed the release of the ladybugs.
