Self-Guided Tours

If you are visiting during the week and can’t make it to a guided tour, or prefer to explore the pyramids at your own pace, you can access self-guided walking tours in each pyramid.

Take some time to stroll through the beautiful outdoor grounds at the Muttart Conservatory. We are located in Edmonton’s river valley with easy access to numerous walking trails and bike paths. On our grounds, you can view our numerous plant beds that are cared for by our horticultural team. We also showcase specialty beds that are cared for by the Edmonton Horticultural Society and the Edmonton Native Plant Council.

If you would like walking trail maps, please see Community Walking Maps.

Other Programs and Experiences

Let education happen naturally! The Muttart Conservatory offers courses about the botanical world using the plant collection in the pyramids as inspiration!
