Garfield Park Conservatory- Free Date in Chicago🌼

Similar to Lincoln Park Conservatory, this is another beautiful oasis where visitors can stroll through and marvel at the beautiful flower display. Unlike the LP location however, this one has a cactus room! 🌵 (which I really enjoyed personally) This is a great way to spend a more chill weekend and enjoy the beauty Chicago has to offer. It’s free for Chicago residents with proof of Chicago residency, and I believe $10 for those who aren’t. RSVP’s required 🎟️

📆OPEN: Wednesday: 10:00 am - 8:00 pm, + Thursday - Sunday: 10:00 AM- 5:00 PM #lemon8partner #garfieldpark #chicagoflowershow Garfield Park Conservatory
