The Allen Gardens Conservatory, located squarely in the Allan Gardens Park|. (founded 1858) in the east of the downtown (Jarvis and Gerrard is the intersection on the northwest corner), was formerly a greenhouse for the University of Toronto. It's now one of the most pleasant attractions in Toronto, filled with exotic plants and a perfect place to go in cold cold winter. Or even in fall, I imagine.
