All aboard! Solstice Glow has left the station at Krohn Conservatory and departed to celebrate the quiet magic of winter and the longest night of the year. Opening daily on November 2, journey through Krohn Conservatory’s showroom as they bring light into the darkness through candles, lanterns and festive displays.
Solstice Glow chugs along from November 2, 2024 through January 5, 2025
Tickets are available at the door; $10 adults, $7 youth, free under age 4.
The annual show presented by ScherZinger Pest Control features gorgeous model trains that make their way throughout the poinsettias and other winter plants. Admire the miniature replicas of Cincinnati icons. New this year is CVG airport. This show will allow you to appreciate the calm quietness of winter, the traditions that connect us and the lights that brighten even the longest nights.
Featured in the seasonal floral showroom, Solstice Glow is one of five seasonal shows to grace Krohn Conservatory. The showroom is home to a collection of permanent lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit and kumquat trees. At the end of each October, the volunteers and staff at the conservatory begin the transformation of hand-built wooden railways, several poinsettia varieties, variegated plants and sparkling holiday lights.
Take your kids through a Cincinnati treasure hunt of popular buildings and places. Trains bustle around hefty replicas of Findlay Market, Union Terminal, the Great American Insurance building, Mt. Adams incline, Fountain Square and many of the city’s beautiful-architecture churches.
Extend your conservatory tour beyond Solstice Glow, and travel through five adjacent floral rooms, included in your daily admission. Desert succulents, orchids, astonishing bonsai forests, an immersive tropical rainforest and fern house stimulates the senses. With sights high and low, sometimes crossing through hanging plants, there’s twists and turns of thousands of plant varieties throughout the 1933 Art Deco conservatory.
Photo-ops galore, both inside and out. Journey through the outside winter gardens and holiday displays. A trail of Christmas props include life-size nutcrackers, a Santa giraffe, penguins, hippos, lollipops, elves, evergreen gnome men and a huge sleigh full of gifts.
