Spring is visually rewarding but inconsistent. A mild afternoon can follow a cold rain, and garden timing depends on weather.
Tulip season
The Canadian Tulip Festival and public plantings are major draws, especially around Commissioners Park. Exact bloom timing and programming vary.
Pathways and parks
Some surfaces may be wet, muddy or affected by spring maintenance. Confirm conditions for longer outdoor routes.
Indoor pairings
Combine flowers or gardens with a nearby museum, market or gallery so the day remains useful in rain.
What to pack
- Layers
