Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

During the winter, this place transforms into the most beautiful display of Christmas-themed exhibitions . They have Christmas trees , lights, even this little guy "skating " around the tree . Awesome! ????

I can't say enough about this place. If you're in Pittsburgh, COME HERE. Breathtaking gardens that you can spend hours wandering through. Definitely check out the Center for Sustainable Landscapes!

We were there for my daughter's wedding. Everything was perfect! The service that the Phipps staff provided was the absolute best. I highly recommend this venue for any reception type of event .

Amazing botanical gardens ! Gorgeous Christmas flower show , not to be missed this time of year, simply stunning. Prebook tickets to avoid a long wait .

My favourite place to visit out of all the "touristy " places. Its beyond beautiful, and somehow can always brighten the darkest of moods. The content changes by season, (obviously) and the cafe is yum

Visitors can enjoy 17 unique botanical experiences at one of the world's greenest public gardens , with sustainable and dynamic exhibits for people of all ages.

Expansive gardens . Many varieties of spaces indoors (and some outdoors) to enjoy. Highly recommend-ranks right up there with other big name gardens (e.g., ATL).

Beautiful variety of flowers with constantly changing exhibitions . Parking is a fiasco at peak hours, so be prepared to drive around!

They have great exhibits . It's a beautiful place, don't miss it.

I really liked this place full of different types of flowers and few butterflies . Also it's realy good for photography too ????????, try this place ????

Magical winter display ... always brings the Christmas Spirit. Friendly workers as well .

Phipps is beautiful year-round as its exhibits change, but it is particularly magical when they transform it for the Christmas season .

What a wonderful place. You can sit there and see something different in every place.

Wear layers! Some of the rooms are hot & humid! Parking is free outside of the conservatory

Eat at the cafe for organic food and the green drink is tasty too. Delicious and healthy a bit pricey but good

Close to the Pitt campus, Phipps Conservatory is a Victorian-style steel and class structure that has been transformed into one the world’s most energy efficient and sustainable conservatories.

This place exceeded every expectation I had and we didn’t even get outside!! It’s huge and so interesting. Would love to go back for the Holiday lighting experience.

The orchid section was my favorite. Nice display of different environments. The cactus display was impressive.

Not usually into botanical gardens , but this is a must-visit if you're in Pittsburgh! Get in for free if you're a Carnegie Mellon student!

Always absolutely beautiful here. It's become a frequent stop for our family.

Love it here, it's so calming . You must go when he butterfly forest display is going on.

Such a beautiful conservatory! The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Always do beautiful, no matter the season. I love coming here & reminds me of how much my grandma enjoyed the place.

Did you know? The Conservatory was founded in 1893. The first plants came from Chicago’s 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition , which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landing in America. Read more

Haven't been back in many years. The new entry way and cafe are quite nice. Incredible bonsai display on this trip.

The first time I visited, I was undecided if I liked how structured the "exhibits " are. Definitely changed my mind after seeing the fall mums on display . Really fun on Friday night after dark!

19 indoor/outdoor gardens with all kinds of trees including Banzai. Open year round, it's a great place to learn about all kinds of plants. Read more

conservatory is drop dead gorgeous. grounds and gift shop certainly worth visiting, as well

No words. Just go and experience this landmark for yourself. Well worth the price.

Loved the visit! So many excellent plants exhibited .

Great conservatory, but a big part was closed off for a private event . Super annoying when we paid for entrance, but someone paid more to have it to themselves.

The Winter Show is beautiful. The glass art is superb. A "must see" for all.

Set amidst one of Pittsburgh's largest greenspaces, Schenley Park , Phipps Conservatory stands as a cultural and architectural centerpiece of the city 's Oakland neighborhood . Read more

a yearly membership is a GREAT bargain and gives you discounts on the gift shop and classes as well - $75 per year for 2 adults/2 kids

Check out Romero, the Corpse Flower , and hope you come when he decides to bloom!

beautiful gardens !! The glass is cool

Winter show has a lot more pine trees and less flowers , if you have allergies it is still tolerable.

Take your time! Don't rush and make sure you see everything there is to see outside!

Such a fun place to go and see the changing exhibits ! The Glass flowers were amazing!

Bring a change of clothes (or two) for the kids. In the warm weather they have an outdoor fountain that kids just love to play in!

Christmas Holiday decorations

go if you are a nature lover. hundreds of varieties of ferns, palms, tulips, bonsai, cacti, orchids . and yeah, good for photo-shoot too.

Christmas Holiday setup was very nice and worth checking out for a weekend activity

Book early for the fabulous brunches Phipps serves about ~4 times a year!
