FREE ADMISSION UNTIL FEB 28TH 2019

Thanks to a generous donation from The Bennett-Shear family, you and your family can enjoy free admission into the Conservatory through the end of February 2019. It was actually a gift from the children, to celebrate their parent’s 40th wedding anniversary, how sweet is that?

The 3,426 glass paned Conservatory at Volunteer Park was constructed in 1912 and remains a beautiful, indoor tropical oasis for those that visit.
