"The Victorian-era glass and wood structure, which looks like a sugar-coated castle atop a grassy slope, is Golden Gate Park's oldest building. It's also one of San Francisco's most splendid historic sites. Wander through five different galleries housing 1,700 species of aquatic and tropical plants along with the world's largest public collection of high-altitude orchids. The potted plant gallery featuresrare flowering plants and an assortment of decorative urns and containers from all over the world, including a leftover from San Francisco's 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Keep your eyes open for special exhibits, including the annual Butterflies and Blooms , whichtransforms the conservatory into a magical garden aflutter with hundreds of butterflies."

The staff provided great service, and I really enjoyed taking in all the unique plants and stunning scenery. There were so many species I had never seen before—it made me reflect on how much of the natural world is still waiting to be discovered. The only downside was how crowded it was; the walkways are narrow, so it was a bit of a challenge to navigate through the crowds, especially with many people stopping to take photos or admire the greenery. I’d love to return during a quieter time when the focus can be more on immersing myself in the experience, rather than trying to weave through people without bumping into anyone. That said, I completely understand the excitement—everyone wants to witness the beauty of the place. While the crowding was a slight drawback for me, it’s certainly not a reflection on the venue itself. Also, if you want to go to this place as well as the botanical garden and Japanese garden, you should buy the three park ticket deal. I didn’t know about this until I got there.

The conservatory of flowers has several environments, including an aquatic plants room, two tropical areas emoted plant displays. Like most conservatories, this one has orchids Another tropical flowering plants, but the aquatic space was the most interesting to me. A reasonable entrance fee gets you access to this amazing conservatory. Parking may be a challenge, so prepare to walk a distance if you don't get to golden gate park near the conservatory early enough. Open seven days a week all year long.

Get the Golden Gate Park pass so you can visit all the attractions! I loved this place and it has some pretty interesting plants in there! If I had gotten the pass I would’ve saved some money. I had already gone to the botanical garden and the Japanese garden when I found out there was a pass.

Enjoyed the exotic flowers. Bought the Golden gate park pass and this was included in what I will say is a very good deal. Would advise to also visit the Japanese garden and the Botanical garden. Twise the price give access to 3 Parks for 3 days. Great deal. 🥰🙂

Do you enjoy natural soul candy? Check out the Lord's great works here, then. Besides how delicious everything smells, the flowers, carnivorous plants, and aquatic plants are unbelievable. Spend an hour here in the least. Bring lunch and enjoy.

Free for SF residents. So many carnivorous plants and speakers with natural sounds for ambiance. Excellent for a quick walk around.

We stopped by this place while visiting and absolutely loved it. My spouse and I like to visit local conservatories because it gives us some insight into local plants and this place did not disappoint. The cost is very affordable for adults when we went ($11/person) so it was an affordable way to spend an hour or two.
