Open in 1904, it is the nation 's oldest conservatory and covers more than an acre with a central dome 85 feet high. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 10a to 5p. Free admission and parking .

If you visit in the winter, be sure to prepare for fogging of glasses and/or camera lenses. Also, you'll probably want to take your coat off. Appreciate all the little details of the plants.

Go to the Conservatory when the weather doesn't cooperate. It's the best place to go to warm up, feel some tropical humidity, and see some pretty spectacular flora and fauna. Read more

The pond is closed in the winter and won't be an attraction until late spring once the snow melts, but the rest of the exhibit is amazing. Be sure to check out the orange trees this year, and be care Read more

A great beach with a nice view of the skyline. Arrive earlier in the day for easy parking. The water slide is $3 for the day. Grab a spot by a tree for shade and sun. The 5.5 m loop is a nice walk. - sheri kowalski
