Garfield Park Conservatory
The Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the largest and most stunning conservatories in the nation. Often referred to as "landscape art under glass," the conservatory occupies approximately 4.5 acres inside and out, where thousands of plants species are on display throughout eight rooms in this magnificent facility. Travel through the conservatory and experience the lush flora in the Fern Room or Palm House, or discover how plants get energy in the Sugar from the Sun exhibit. Also check out the season’s best floral displays in the Show House. The Garfield Park Conservatory is owned and managed by the Chicago Park District. The Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the funding and development of programs and visitor services at the Conservatory.
