I came here on a Friday morning, and I really was just expecting to wander around but ended up tagging along for a tour that one of the docents was giving. It was really awesome, Norm was our tour guide and gave us so much interesting information with each plant and demonstrating what each plant does, like telling us about how pitcher plants collect water and trap insects to dissolve them then pouring out the water from one right there, or showing us the spores of ferns, or even telling us to touch the sensitivity plant (the one that shrinks up when you touch it) He had a wealth of information and I would highly recommend following along any of the volunteers since they're really friendly and helpful. I've been to many botanical gardens and this was one of the best just from this experience. Norm you were awesome!! Please consider donating the suggested 10$ especially if you take the tour. I felt like it was a great value esp with the volunteer tour guide experience.

Absolutely loved the Lincoln Park Conservatory! Such cute rooms with slightly different themes in each one - the fern room was my favorite! They had a great variety of plant to look at and the staff were so friendly describing some of the more unique ones there was to see. Entrance is free but be sure to book a ticket online beforehand because you do need a reservation for a time window in order to enter.

How does this compare tot he Garfield Conservator? Trying to decide which one to go to.

Jason Snow | Jul 6, 2022
John Saenz | Jul 6, 2022

Both conservatories are nice. Garfield is considerably bigger and more extensive. Lincoln Park Conservatory is adjacent to the LP Zoo so it tends to get more foot traffic as people combine their trips into one visit.

Matthew Snorek | Oct 5, 2019
Osama Hamid | Oct 5, 2019

I would recommend giving them a call for that. Just to confirm. My guess is that it will be the normal sunday time

Do we need to take personal private photos of plants for our own idea gardens. Not for public sharing? Planning a trip up on the 2-24-2019 need a little conservatory time going for major surgery the next day, at UChicago Med center. Thanks.

Jeff Keith | Oct 5, 2019

The conservatory isn't really something you could translate to a garden. There are palms that stretch to the ceiling, rare orchids, and exotic plants like bananas, limes, and coffee.
