Review:
Lincoln Park Conservatory is one of Chicago's premiere botanical garden facilities, located within the 1,208-acre Lincoln Park, the city's largest public urban park. The conservatory was originally constructed between 1890 and 1895 to replace a smaller former greenhouse within the park and is housed within a Victorian-era glass conservatory building designed by architects Joseph Lyman Silsbee and Mifflin E. Bell. Today, the conservatory offers four display halls and 15 growing houses within its indoor facility, home to native and exotic plants, including significant collections of rare palm tree species and fruit-producing plants. Outdoor collections surrounding the conservatory include a conifer garden, a noted Shakespeare monument, and the Eli Bates Fountain. The conservatory is free and open to the public seven days a week, including admission for special annual flower and plant shows.
