Colasanti's Tropical Gardens - Kingsville, Ontario

A Fun, Unique Family Destination in Ontario!

Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens is a great place to spend the day with family or friends, especially if you’re looking for something fun and low-key just outside the city. It’s a mix of a tropical garden center, indoor amusement space, petting zoo, and mini-golf — definitely not your average garden center!

The petting zoo was a hit with the kids — they loved feeding the goats, llamas, and other animals. It’s a very hands-on experience and perfect for young children. The mini-golf course is indoors, which makes it a good option even on rainy days.

The plant nursery was larger than I expected, with lots of tropical and house plants, pots, and gardening supplies. Some areas of the facility could use a bit of updating, but overall it has that old-school charm that actually adds to the experience.

There’s also a food court-style area with classic comfort food like fried chicken and donuts — not fancy, but tasty and satisfying after walking around.

Apr-05-2025: Lovely collection of flowers and ornamental plants. I was truly amazed at the many varieties. The place has also petting animals, games, food court, various garden ornaments, fresh fruits and vegetables and many more. Reasonable prices with some good deals. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice place to spend time with family, from children to grandparents.

Good place to play and buy beautiful plants. Petting park have many lovely goats 🐐, very friendly and heart warm. Also can play retro game machine and have lunch. Easy parking. The parking entrance is a little difficult to find. Very nice place.

Had an excellent experience at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens last weekend. The food (chicken Parmesan sandwich) and peach slushy were phenomenal and we had to take some peach juice home!

Petting zoo and animal areas were well taken care of and the animal all look in great health.

Plant selection was phenomenal and I found that prices were quite fair for the plants and planter pots. Also the little cowboy cactuses are adorable and I had to bring one home.

Fresh produce shelves were also a bonus.

Overall, we had an excellent time and will be back again! Would reccomend for tourists or locals who are looking for something fun and unique to do in Windsor-Essex county.

Well I haven’t been here, but I just bought 3 Venus Flytraps from Robert Plante Greenhouses. Supplied by Colasanti Farms. Robert Plante Greenhouses is on 4228 Naven road near Orléans Ontario, Ottawa. The plants look great. I’m not sure if they had a Dormancy yet. They do have some Venus flytraps that will be coming out of dormancy soon. They have a good selection of carnivorous plants right now. Can’t put them outside yet, not till the third week in may, after the last frost. They love lots of sun. Remember to use proper soil with no nutrients in it like spagnum peat moss and perlite. 1cup to 1cup. Make sure the peat moss has no Miracle Grow added , this will kill your plants. And bottom water with distilled water or rain water no tap water this will also kill your plants. Or you can buy a zero water filter system for $60 from amazon to water your plants. Best to use a TDS water meter to test your water. $15 on amazon. For Best results on the meter would be 0 Parts per million. No clay pots plastic is better. Clay pots will put minerals in your soil which can kill your plants. Lots of information can be viewed on You Tube.
