The Lincoln Park Conservatory is a colorful gem in the sometimes overly steel and concrete jungle of Chicago. Stepping into the the conservatory you nearly forget just how close to the city you really are. The staff is very helpful and the entire experience allows you the opportunity to set aside the pressure and stress of traveling for just a... More

I love orchids. So this place is fantastic as far as I'm concerned. Not that orchids are the only type of flower you'll find here. They have a bit of everything. It's a beautiful place. It's free. It's well taken care of. I could have spent hours here. Be sure to look up, down and under. Watch for little signs... More

It was a cold, blowing, drizzling day outsid. Inside the Lincoln Park Conservatory it was a Garden of Eden. Not the biggest or most diverse conservatory I've been in but a very attractive collection and at a great price--free. More

If you visit Lincoln Park Zoo, be sure to venture to the northern section of Lincoln Park and stroll through the Lincoln Park Conservatory. The permanent exhibits are beautiful at any time of the year, but the spring blooms are especially wonderful. It's a wonderful place to walk a bit and then sit on a bench and just soak up... More

First of all you have to know that this Conservatory is FREE. Yes, it is small but has a good variety of nature inside and from time to time they organize beautiful exhibits in the back wind. It will be a good adittion to your visit to the Lincoln Park Zoo. More

My fiance and I walked into the Conservatory on a whim, and I was so surprised and pleased by the quiet coolness, the overwhelming feeling of life all around, and the BEAUTIFUL flowers that I actually started tearing up. Perhaps I was overly emotional, but after being in the city all day long, the conservatory truly felt like an escape... More

As a Chicagoan, a trip to Lincoln Park Conservatory has been a frequent happening. A lovely spring flower show was in progress and just a delight to view. It was like being in a fantasy garden. More

Pretty good conservatory but the best part is that it's all part of a Lakefront Zoo park area. This entire area is a great place to spend days.The Peggy Norbert Nature Museum (fee), Old Town, North Ave .beach and the Chicago Historical Museum (fee) are also in this area. More
