As the short, dreary days of winter set in, know you can always escape at Krohn Conservatory.
Maybe you go to Krohn’s holiday trains show, or their famed Butterfly Show — but then forget about it the rest of the year. You shouldn’t.
Between the seasonal shows and the permanent displays like the Orchid House, there are plenty of opportunities for kids to explore and learn while you get to stay warm!
The Orchid House is filled with flowers of every hue. There are Palm, Tropical and Desert houses with carnivorous plants, cacti, cacao and banana trees. A tropical waterfall is the main attraction in the rain forest — along with several koi ponds featuring giant fish in bright white and orange hues.
But it’s not just about the plants; at Krohn Conservatory, your adventurous little explorers will embark on an exciting journey that’ll excite their senses and deepen their appreciation for nature. With quaint bridges, intriguing “caves,” and engaging walking paths, kids can roam freely and even embark on a colorful flora hunt or marvel at the elusive giant fish in the serene koi ponds.
And when your little adventurers need a breather, there are plenty of cozy nooks to rest and bask in the beauty of the conservatory. Pique their interest and share in their joy as you guide them through an array of over 3,500 captivating plant species, nurturing their curiosity and fostering a profound love for the natural world.
If your kids eagerly await the holiday trains exhibit at Krohn, they’ll be pleased to know that there are trains at the conservatory that run all year long!
