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’ll take a tour through the many gardens of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory as you explore the Jewel of Como and learn about its rich history. Go behind the scenes to discover how garden staff keep the Conservatory looking lush and green year-round and produce the many seasonal flower shows. This tour is a unique opportunity to “peek behind the curtains” and get your daily dose of green!

After the tour, enjoy time to explore Como’s grounds, including a 10% discount at Como's Garden Safari Gifts. Then we’ll head to Cossetta’s Italian Market & Pizzeria in downtown St. Paul for lunch on your own.

Please note: Lunch is not included in the trip fee.
Bring money if you’d like to purchase lunch, visit the Italian Grocery store, or pick up something sweet from 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
