Volunteer Park Conservatory, Seattle

This place is so cool to come to in winter. Snow on the ground, tropical inside. The people here do a wonderful job of balancing the indoor space with he outdoor space. I like that the building is small, but it it's still there with a very neat display of many plants we just don't get to know about on a regular day. The seasonal display is very cool, this time it's the Christmas train! Thanks to all who make this happen!

Great little conservatory that has a surprising amounts and variety of plants packed into its layout. Parking isn't a problem and it generally doesn't seem to be too packed with other people to the point where you might feel rushed. At the time I went they have a cactus and succulent, palm, fern, and bromeliad room. Adult prices are 4 dollars for a day pass. Enjoy this wonderful experience on a cold and rainy day, because inside the conservatory it's nice and warm!

The Volunteer Conservatory is a affordable retreat from Seattle's gloomy weather. Wether you'd like to dry out in the Cactus Room, warm up in the Fern House or see something new in the Seasonal Room there is something that will fit your mood. Rotating exhibitions make this a destination to visit again and again. After spending time in here, you are guaranteed to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. A great first date spot or place to take visiting guests!

Absolutely love this conservatory! It's always wonderfully maintained and operated by the kindest people. I highly recommend it on a rainy day, since the 70 degree temperature inside is a welcome change to a Seattle winter. Admission is free on the first Wednesday and Saturday of the month, which is another amazing perk!

A cute observatory with colourful flowers and nice succulents. I went on a weekend with free admission, though regular admission is around $4.
