Step inside and be transported to another place and time - Lincoln Park Conservatory - where you will find tropical palms and ancient ferns, right in the heart of Lincoln Park.
Constructed in stages between 1890 and 1895, the Conservatory was designed both to showcase exotic plants and to grow the thousands of plants needed for use in the parks.
Lincoln Park Conservatory was designed by a well known architect of the Victorian era, Joespeh L. Silsbee. He built the Conservatory during a time of great fascination with nature. Studying and classifying plants, animals and insects were common hobbies. People were becoming concerned about the effects of industrialization and conservatories provided "tropical paradises" within cities.
With its four display houses: the Palm House, Fern Room, Orchid House and Show House - home to the annual flower shows - the Conservatory continues to provide a haven in the city.
No matter the time of year, Lincoln Park Conservatory is always green and lush. Come take a stroll and let yourself be transported away.
Admission is always free.
The Lincoln Park Conservatory is open every day of the year, from 9am to 5pm, except for the following three mandatory shut down days this year:
-Friday, Nov. 27 (the day after Thanksgiving)
-Thursday, Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve day)
