Located next to the Lincoln Park Zoo, this Victorian-style glass conservatory houses plants from around the world. Designed both to showcase exotic plants and grow the thousands of plants needed for use in the parks, the Conservatory offers visitors a tropical experience within its four display houses - Palm House, Fern Room, Orchid House and Show House, which is home to the annual flower shows. This historic facility continues to provide an escape to nature for the millions that live in and visit Chicago. No matter the time of year, Lincoln Park Conservatory is always green and lush! Admission is FREE.
