Review:

Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the United States' largest botanical garden and conservatory facilities, originally designed in 1906 and 1907 by landscape architect Jens Jensen. Today, the conservatory spans 4.5 acres throughout Chicago's Garfield Park, showcasing native and exotic plant collections in eight indoor garden displays, including a notable collection of cycads over 200 years old and a palm tree collection with more than seven dozen varieties of palm trees. 10 acres of outdoor gardens are also offered, along with children's play spaces and an outdoor water lily pond. The conservatory has been the recipient of a number of significant national museum awards, including the National Medal for Museum and Library Services, and was selected as one of the AIA's Illinois 200 Great Places. It is free and open to the public daily, offering a wide variety of free public special event programming for visitors of all ages throughout the year.
