Day Trip: Como Zoo Conservatory and Lunch at Cossetta's NEW


Adult Enrichment / Special Events -
Summer 25

Join us in exploring the Como Park Conservatory! We will take a tour through the many gardens of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory as you explore the Jewel of Como and learn about their rich history. Go behind-the-scenes and uncover how the garden staff keep the conservatory looking lush and green all year long and produce the many flower shows. This tour is a unique opportunity to “peek behind the curtains” of the Conservatory and get your daily dose of green! After the conservatory tour, there will be time to explore Como's grounds, including a 10% discount at Como's Garden Safari Gifts. Then we will be having lunch, on your own, in downtown St. Paul at Cossetta's Italian Market & Pizzeria. Please bring money for lunch or to purchase something for lunch or items from the Italian Grocery store or the Pasticceria.

This day trip is not wheelchair accessible. This trip is walker accessible. Please contact Sammy Wallace ahead of time if you plan on attending with a walker at 651-407-2024 or sammy.wallace@isd832.net
