Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

This is a great botanical garden, with wonderful indoor and outdoor displays. These are augmented by a number of Chihuly glass sculptures. There's a very nice butterfly garden, a number of bonsais and a great children's area. We also enjoyed the giant Lego sculptures, which are a temporary display, but also enjoyed the train tracks which are permanent.

Such a cool place! Their butterfly garden alone is worth the ticket. I personally loved seeing the sculptures inside and outside the buildings, especially the large model train. Their outdoor children's exhibit is great fun for little ones; of course, I'd love to see them expand on the general outdoor exhibits, too.

I had a blast taking my girls through the monarch butterfly exhibit. We also picked up a cactus to grow at home as a keepsake. This is a great exhibit to take young kids and experience the dump truck of butterflies. Check out all the different cactuses and bonsai exhibits as well...

Beautiful botanical garden with local flora, controlled environments, and a big gift shop with reasonable prices. The children’s garden is really for all ages with interactive music and sensory areas, a reading area, a fairy garden, and a raised deck wetland area. The train exhibit was delightful, by Paul Busse. The annual, multi-city pass is a great value as well. Give at least 2 hours to explore on your own pace. Parking is free.

Absolutely beautiful place! We visited during the butterfly exhibit, and it was magical seeing so many butterflies up close in the gardens. It’s peaceful and perfect for photos.

We have been to a few botanical gardens , and many nature inspired places . This has been my favorite it appears to have a ton of money invested . There was stuff for the kids and lego statues ..a little shallow pool area with waterfalls . Waterfalls everywhere beautiful set ups everywhere but also a ton of variation. Including a butterfly exhibit.

We had a delightful trip to the conservatory. There are so many amazing exhibits to see that you could spend hours here and still not see it all. We particularly enjoyed the butterfly exhibit and the glass blowing demonstration. We bought a season pass so we can visit again.

Hands down stunning experience to go to. This is a beautiful place that needs to be taken in slowly. They have different climate areas that show the wild tropic plants and dessert depiction and the grounds outside are magnificent. The palm house is a place you just want to linger in and stay. They had their butterfly exhibit when I went and I highly suggest trying. They also have stunning permanent art structures of Dale Chiuly throughout. Their Bonsai trees are stunning and they also sell them. Their gift shop is very nice also. This is a Columbus gem.
