Krohn Conservatory, Cincinnati, Ohio

Web site: Krohn Conservatory
Address: 1501 Eden Park Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45202
Time took: 2 Hours
Admission Fee: Free
Till I reach this place, I was not sure of what to expect. There are three botanical houses - Desert House, Palm House and Fern House in the conservatory. Desert house had a display of Bonsai and some desert plants. Also, there were many reptiles mainly snakes & tortoise on display. Good place for kids to touch and feel snake & tortoise. You can get a picture holding a snake for some fee.

Fall floral show is held from September through October and this showcases a pollinator garden. I enjoyed looking at so many flowers of different colors in one place.

Palm House is a replica of the tropical rain forest. They have the Banana tree, Coffee tree, Palm and many more. Also, a waterfall at the end of the palm house is refreshing.

The Fern house has pomegranate tree, papaya tree, tiny moss, moist rocks, ferns, lots of varieties of plants and a few fish in the pond.
Every spring Krohn conservatory hosts butterfly show and it is best to visit the show on weekdays as holidays tend to attract huge crowds. Beautiful butterflies are attracted to bright colors. Wear a bright shirt or accessorize with bright colors to attract butterflies.
