Was it worth the drive to Burlington? I guess. The RBG was alright but you have to go during the…read moreright time. We went when the cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom but it was a tad bit early for the other floral arrangements to bloom in their outdoor gardens so it still felt winter-like. We started at one location early in the morning with the Arboretum. That's where you pay $25 to drive your vehicle in. Parking is ample early in the morning but when we left an hour or two later, there was a conga line of vehicles waiting to get in. So, yes you have to be there at least at around 8 AM if you don't want to wait in line or find parking. Parking is free at the main RBG region with their inside greenhouse region plus their outside garden. What I didn't like was that you had to drive out afterwards to go to the Rock Garden where you had to show your tickets again for entrance. Parking was still free though. So, overall, a lot of driving from one location to another (at least three) and a lot of walking. If you want to bring slow-walking seniors, good luck. It's beautiful scenery but a lot of walking involved.

I just found this place, it's really cool, and I wanted to tell someone about it. It's all the way, uh, somewhere, but it's worth your time, I promise! You know peonies right? They're flowers, sometimes they look a bit like a big papery ball? They got tons here. Maybe it's the biggest collection in all of North America! Maybe! Because it's never been independently verified! But they got a lot! This place is really a big garden behind a house, so it's not super big. Arghh! Wait, don't run away dammit! Just listen to me, okay... It's not that big, but it's packed with peonies. You'll see every variety you've dreamt of here! What, you've never dreamt of peonies? Urgg... This place is quite nice as is, but it's still under construction a bit too. I saw a bridge being made, and you can see them still finishing up some areas. So don't expect it to be as nice or as big as the Royal Botanical Gardens. But for the $13 I'd say it's totally worth it, especially if you love peonies... So, are you gonna go? *Looks around* Oh, I'm by myself... Guess they... Left... Uh, go to Whistling Gardens!!!

As I was following the trail on Google Maps, I found that I could get on the trail from the Humber Arboretum. The arboretum is massive. It's well-kept with plenty of greenery mixed in with bright reds, yellows, and purples. There were a few groups taking wedding photos when I visited and I felt out of place in shorts and a tshirt. It's absolutely beautiful here and is a refreshing oasis from the surrounding concrete jungle. There are only 4 parking spots here, so if you visit please don't take up multiple spots. Due to poor parking skills of other visitors, I ended up driving to the Humberwood Library and walking back. The hike took me along the West Humber Trail, but I ended up getting a bit lost walking back to the arboretum. The trail is nicely paved and is well-suited for bicycles.

Not a large space (about 4 acres), but beautifully manicured and landscaped. Almost every plant had a sign/label so it was easy to know what you were looking at.

I've stopped here twice, but both times, it wasn't open until TODAY. Probably about 1000sq', this place is not really a replacement to Royal Botanical Garden, but is more like a refuge / good place to read a book / catch up with a friend. Aside from that, you won't be spending too long here, maybe 10mins to do a once around to look at the various plants. I wanted to put up this listing so that more people will know about this place. Currently, it's open 7 days/week, 9-3pm.

I was a little disappointed when I went on June 10, 2025 because most of the flowers are gone, and just a lot of greens + leaves and a lot of cactus lol. I was expecting more flowers because this place was called Floral Showhouse. It would give it that the indoor space and outdoor grounds were well-maintained, and the staff at the admission desk/cashier was friendly and welcoming. I agree with one of the Yelpers that this place should not be a stand alone attraction. The parking was $36, and the admission was $8+tax per person. The indoor greenhouses opened to public was limited to 2 rooms, plus an outdoor garden. We were pretty much done viewing in less than an hour. There was a souvenir area, which was the saving grace because we found some pretty unique gifts.

Our recent trip to the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory was truly magical! Our tickets for…read moreadmission were included with our Wonder Pass Plus purchase. This attraction doesn't require an appointment, but it is a longer bus ride from the other Niagara Parks attractions, so be sure to plan for that. We used our passes to take the WEGO bus from Niagara Takes Flight to the butterfly conservatory. Rain was in the forecast, so this is a nice, indoor option. The conservatory itself houses so many butterflies, and they tell you upon entry that it is thought to be lucky if a blue one lands on you, so everyone inside is doing their best to attract a blue butterfly. Several landed on us, and while you don't want to move for fear of them flying away, you also want to get your companion's attention to snap that perfect pic! We had lots of fun even though the temperature is kept very warm and the space was crowded. Clearly, everyone had the same rainy-day activity planned. My only complaint comes from when I asked about re-entry. I was told that we could leave the conservatory, but not the building. We wanted to visit the cafe and grab a bite to eat or something to drink and perhaps return once the crowd had thinned out a bit, but that is not permitted. We were told that we could step out to cool down in the gift shop or lobby area and then return through the same entrance that we used when we arrived. The volunteer got on her walkie to tell someone that we'd be coming back in, so I'm not even sure that this is normally permitted. Overall, it was a fun and new experience for us. The staff was kind and the conservatory is beautiful. There's also a botanical garden and at least one beehive there, but we didn't get to explore the outdoor areas due to the rain.

Online ticket purchase helped and we were quickly inside. Although busy we were able to finish the entire round, up and down in less than 30 minutes. Some of the butterflies were unique. They flew in all directions, some so near to us. Other than the butterflies there is nothing else to see or do. We did two rounds and we were still done in under 45 minutes. Wish there was multiple things to see and do or some more history or background for all or some of the butterflies. There are some written things, but not enough.
