Awesome place to visit during winter months. Very well kept conservatory. Plenty of places to sit down and just enjoy the view. I definitely will be back during the summer to enjoy the outdoor portion.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I am hoping to elope at the conservatory in two weeks. It would just be my fiancée and I, plus our friend who is officiating. Do I need to provide notice. It'll just be me, my boo, and officiant.

I got married in the Jenson room of the conservatory. I think I gave maybe a week notice.

Do you have to pay to swim

CJ Love | Oct 10, 2021
Alexis Burnley | Oct 10, 2021

The Garfield Park Conservatory is a large indoor green house. There are no places to swim, just plants to look at. I think this question is meant for the Garfield Park Pool, which is near the Conservatory but affiliated. I would contact Chicago Park District Swimming Pools for that information.

How long does it usually take to walk around the grounds? I think read that the buildings are still closed so it would only be outside.

How much is the permit fee for portrait photographers? Can you apply for it day of?

Brittany Johnson | Oct 10, 2020
Natasha Nicholes | Oct 10, 2020

I took my engagement photos in the conservatory 12 years ago and there was no permit fee. We did end up leaving a donation for the conservatory anyway, since it's something we do whenever we visit. Our donation was a bit more that time around though. I feel that if you aren't going to inhibit natural flow through the conservatory or have a bunch of equipment, the donation should be fine.
