Step into a tropical paradise during the Saint Paul Winter Carnival! The Winter Carnival Orchid Show returns to the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory on January 24 from 10am – 5pm and January 25 from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering a vibrant, midwinter escape that’s become a must-see for orchid lovers across the Midwest.
Admission into the Conservatory for Winter Carnival Orchid Show weekend (regardless if you are coming for the Orchid Show or not) will be $8 for adults, and $6 for Como Friends Member, seniors 65+, and children under 12. Entrance to the Conservatory will be through the Japanese Garden Gates. Guests will exit at the main Visitor Center door. Those here to visit the zoo will not be admitted into the Conservatory without a pre-paid ticket. Prepayment by credit card and advanced reservations will be required. No refunds for this event.
The time on your ticket is the time you will enter the show. Please do not arrive any earlier than your designated time. For example, 11:00AM ticket holders will be granted admission between 11:00AM-11:15AM at the Japanese Garden gate.
Now celebrating 51 years, the show transforms the Conservatory into a breathtaking oasis filled with hundreds of exquisite orchids—showcased by the Conservatory, the Orchid Society of Minnesota, and renowned local and national growers. Wander through stunning displays, where the vivid colors and delicate beauty of orchids transport you far from the icy grip of Minnesota winter.
Enhance your experience by meeting orchid experts, exploring the world of orchid culture, and browsing an impressive selection of plants and orchid-themed treasures. Top-tier vendors include Arnold J. Klehm Growers Inc., Deerwood Orchids, New World Orchids, and Orchids Limited, offering exceptional plants to take home and brighten your space.
