Lincoln Park Conservatory, Chicago

This indoor conservatory features greenhouses with tropical displays, divided into four areas; the Palm House, the Fernery, the Orchid House, and the Show House. Built in the late 19th century, the site quickly became an attraction in the continually expanding Lincoln Park. While it houses several permanent exhibits, it also features many seasonal ones, including a popular Christmas exhibit. The gardeners take great care in planting and arranging their displays. A past exhibit included handcrafted miniature buildings and trains.
