Each area brought something different, with each plant displayed proudly in a habitat created fire them. Each area is climate controlled depending on the plant type.
Tons of variety on plants. There was a tropical area, a desert area, and a huge bansai area. We went during the butterfly event. The wife loved all the butterflies. They have a little cafe with vegan and normal food
Normally I'm a carnivore but I tried the vegan or vegetarian wrap (I don't know the difference anymore). It had a ton of things I normally hate like beets and kale but it was so well made I ate it all. A little pricey. Think it was $15 a person or something. There was construction so finding the actual driveway was confusing. The grounds looked nice. Lots of areas to walk. They also had a farmers market in the parking area.
We have been members here for several years because there are always wonderful things to see at any season. The holiday displays change each year and are always beautiful. The annual orchids display is a great tropical escape during the winter. We also enjoy the butterflies in their season and many other programs throughout the year. Can't wait to see the completed children's garden!
The grounds and building are wheelchair and stroller friendly (although I do wish they would add electric door openers to other doors besides the main entrance). There are some parts that are not wheelchair/stroller friendly, but those are rare and are the random lookout point or small balcony.
The main areas include large restrooms, a gift shop, a cafe, and plenty of seating.
A not-so-hidden gem of the community. The Conservatory is a fascinating place to walk around, with a large variety of plants from every corner of the globe. I went during the "Gardens Aglow" event, which is when they have their holiday lighting.
The Conservatory offers lots explore for our young family. The exhibits change often. Our kids love seeing the train, playing in the kids area and doing the art activities. It's a great place for them to be able to explore and burn off energy. I highly recommend the family membership.
This is one of the gems of Columbus. We've had a family membership for several years and get our money's worth. It's a good place to take out of town guests. They keep the exhibits fresh and interesting. The staff there is terrific. It's a pleasure to go there and the park/grounds it's on makes for a really nice walk. in season, the butterfly house is amazing
Overall, this place is huge and amazing. Ticket pricing is fair, and membership is cheap.
