This is an excellent family field trip when it is cold or rainy outside. The conservatory has been expanded and they even have a half decent restaurant in the adjacent visitor center if you want to make a longer day of it. No food/beverage are allowed in the conservatory…not even a bottle or a Cheerio, so eat first! If the kids are in a good mood continue on to the Como Zoo and the Cafestjan’s Carousel ($1.50). The conservatory is free, but a donation of $2.00 per adult and $1.00 per child is suggested.
NEW Exhibit!!! Be sure to check out Blooming Butterflies at the Conservatory, where 500 butterflies move freely around the garden habitat. About 300 new butterflies are released each week. The exhibit runs through September 7th.

The newly added onto Conservatory with the Tropical Area is GREAT! There are snakes and spiders and a sloth in a tree! Very exciting for our 3 year old.
