Weekends at 11am

At Garfield Park Conservatory

Garfield Park, Chicago

"stepping into a tropical oasis right in the middle of the city"
Hunt for hidden figures tucked in the fern room
It's a greenhouse: no AC, dress light on hot days

Part science lab, part scavenger hunt: this drop-in station pops up somewhere new in the Conservatory each weekend, inviting kids to poke, prod, and see plants in surprising ways. No preregistration, no rush, just curious hands welcome.
