Spring has sprung at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. #MyMMC

Going green tonight 💚 Tonight we'll be lighting the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory dome green for St. Patrick’s Day. If you snap a photo, share it with us! #StPatricksDay #ComoZoo #StPaulMN #MyMMC

❄️ That snowstorm was a doozy. While the polar bears are loving it, our crews need a little time to clear paths. We will open at NOON tomorrow. Good news: the Conservatory is now open until 6 PM on Mondays. 🌸Sunken Garden closed 'til Friday for Spring Flower Show planting.🐻‍❄️

❄️ Reminder: We are closed today (Sunday, March 15) due to the winter storm. Our animal care & horticulture teams are still on site caring for the animals & plants. The bison may love the snow, but we want our visitors to stay safe and off the roads today. 🦬🌨️

How beautiful is this? We have a wedding & reception wrapping up soon and will be closed tomorrow, March 15 due to this crazy March weather.

Due to the winter storm impacting the Twin Cities, we will be closed Sunday, March 15 for the safety of visitors, staff, plants, and animals. Our animal care and horticulture teams are still on site caring for everyone inside. Stay safe and warm! #InLikeALion

Good morning, Kulu.

@ComoZoo is bursting with beautiful flowers right now—and it’s one of the best places in the neighborhood to escape the cold. Step inside, breathe in the fresh, humid air, and soak up vibrant blooms while snow piles up outside.

✨ A Rare Bloom at Como! ✨ For the first time ever, our ghost orchid is flowering! This highly endangered, rescued plant rarely survives outside its natural habitat, making this bloom truly extraordinary. See it now as part of our orchid display. 📷: Como Friends #MyMMC
