A Place to Enjoy Nature
Thursday, November 30, 2006
Formerly known as the Como Park Conservatory, the newly revamped Marjorie McNeely Conservatory does a wonderful job of preserving and displaying exotic plant life. The atmosphere is very elegant, yet warm (literally) and inviting. Throughout the North and Sunken Gardens and the Palm Dome, various collections of palms, orchids, ferns, bonsais and much more are on display. Flower shows are hosted every season. There is a visitor center, as well as a gift shop. The conservatory is stroller and wheelchair accessible. Admission is only $1 for adults ($0.50 for seniors and kids 6-12, free for kids 5 and under). This is a gorgeous facility and a place the whole family can enjoy.
