• No café inside, but the Western Wing has tables where you can sit down with your own snacks
• Christmas decorations go up on the First Sunday of Advent, with a big tree, candles and Christmas elves until Epiphany
• No reserved parking, so use the street spots on Hammarskjöldintie (paid weekdays 9am to 9pm, up to four hours)

The Winter Garden is a glasshouse of more than 200 plants, open to the public since 1893. Three rooms hold a cactus and succulent collection, palms with a camellia tree over 130 years old, and a Western Wing with seasonal flowers and tables.

Visitor favorites include the carp in the Palm Room fountain and the carnivorous plants in a display case. A fenced Rose Garden sits out front.
