Phipps Conservatory is once of the biggest flower facilities in western Pa. Open year round, it offers some of the most varied species of plants, flowers, tees, and bushes available. You walk through a maze of inter winding pathways that lead you over and under bridges, and through lush tropic like settings viewing amazing plants and flowers. They just completed a multi million dollar renovation that now includes a very nice café and lunch area, as well as an expanded gift shop. There is a nominal entrance fee. They change layouts in the various rooms throughout the year, so things are never quite the same each time you visit. A good place to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon, winter or summer.
