Opened to the public in 1893, the Helsinki Winter Garden has been free to visit ever since. Its Cactus Room, Palm Room and West Wing hold over 200 plant species, including cacti, succulents, orchids, palms, carnivorous plants and a king magnolia. The oldest plant is a camellia over 130 years old, moved here from Hakasalmi Villa in 1907, and the Palm Room has a carp pond and an 1893 mural by Salomo Wuorio.
The glasshouse is closed on Fridays for plant care, and the rose garden in front is open from May to the end of October. There is no café, but you may eat your own food. Prams are not allowed inside. The entrance and toilet are accessible, and service is in Finnish and Swedish.
