This place is a wonderful escape from the winter weather. Beautiful plants and flowers! Gorgeous color combinations! I loved the different areas, especially the tropical plants, orchids, and the cactus house. I recommend a visit when you are in the Seattle area!

An absolutely stunning conservatory! Lots of lovely tropical and desert plants to be seen. There are three separate areas to look at so if you are a fan of cacti/succulents, bromeliads/air plants, and an assortment of indoor plants than this is the place for you!

Wow this place is so beautiful, unfortunately I was only able to be the beauty of it in the dark for the enchanted forest event they have going on for the month of December. Its so beautiful here with all the lights and the displays and all the different garden areas. Im definitely coming back when its day time.

Best Best dog park!! off leash is ok here. big, friendly, clean and nice view here. People here loves dogs. The view is awesome and the trail is not hard.My dogs have a very good time and exercise today. Definitely, will visit again in the future

Wonderful place for a plant lover! Lots of exotic plants and flowers! And a gift shop! I went there today and was lucky to enjoy some live music in the floral green house, this was just a random nice person playing his guitar this is not the norm lol!

Great option for a rainy Autumn day. $10 total for two adults and one youth admission. Small indoor botanical garden, but some beautiful flowers, plants, and cactus. Its quite warm inside as well due to the hot water running through the pipes under the beds. The small gift shop has some cute items and if course the park was beautiful with all the foliage colors.

A friend of mine brought me here for the first time and I was absolutely blown away. Not only are the staff incredibly nice and helpful, but the conservatory is stunning. The plants are beautiful. The atmosphere is just amazing, the energy so positive and serene. Honestly, if I could live here I would!!

Very nice and well maintained indoor and outdoor gardens. There are many different species of plants here to enjoy in a variety of climates. The staff here is also friendly and willing to help you on your visit. Free admission on the first Thursday and first Saturday of the month too!

Absolutely stunning and beautiful plants. Must stop in if in the area! They have everything from native to exotic to carnivorous to cacti plants - so interesting! And they have a nice gift shop with precious gifts.

This Conservatory is a botanical garden indoors.Its warm and kind of tight (to be expected with drapping plants).The plants and flowers are a treat to see.There is a cost (I believe it was $4 or $6 a person).I have not been in a while (over six years as it was free then).Ill return (on a visit to the park) but probably not for a while since it costs.

Very well worth the $4.00 admission to see a wide variety of amazing plants. Would recommend a visit during off season, mid week, much less people. Also good for a cold day, inside the building it was 85 degrees.

Such a lovely place! While its not gigantic, the Volunteer Park Conservatory provides such a wonderful space to see beautiful plants. Its especially nice to visit on a cold gray day, because its always warm and bright inside! The conservatory also hosts cool classes and workshops!

Beautiful greenhouse. Building is from 1912 and nicely restored. The plant collection inside is amazing. They got most their plants from the airport, where they confiscated exotic species. It is a very wide variation of plants. The volunteers are friendly and nice to talk to.

They have a pretty nice selection of plants. Great for plant lovers! I enjoyed a lot. It was nice to see air plants in more natural environment they grow.

The variety of species to explore here are amazing. I hope you stop by to support the conservatory. Staff was not only friendly but knowledgeable about anything we had questions on. Very worth the stop.

I havent been to the Conservatory since I was pregnant 15 years ago and I will be going regularly now again. Just a beautiful atmosphere so many stunning displays of plant life! All the staff and people encountered were friendly and so enjoyable. I have just moved back from Phoenix Arizona a year ago to the Washington area and was really happy in the succulent room! Just impressive cacti

At $5 per person, the tour is a bargain. Great way to get to the Boddy House if you are with your parents who cant hike up to it. On the tour theyll tell you what TV shows and movies got shot in the garden. Try to go January through March to drive through the Camellia Garden. Richard is my favorite guide because he clearly loves this and his jokes are corny. Buy your tickets when you enter or you can pay cash to the driver.

A must go! Especially if you are all about plants and greenery! The place is very groomed, quiet, and all the plans just soothe the atmosphere. There is much to see in this conservatory. I really liked their cactus selection and the other unique plants. Lighting is also perfect for photos, if you’re into blogging or photography, that’s a perfect stop for you!

Its a beautiful display of nature, everyone who works and volunteers is so nice, friendly, and helpful. Please go visit. Please go donate. Please go volunteer.

Beautiful plants flowers succulents inside!! We were in awe.... Coming from AZ!! The pitcher plants are so cool!! Everything in there thriving in the humid environment!! Gotta check it out if your into plants like we are!!

$4 admission fee (can be paid with cash in $1 bills or card at self-serve kiosk ) diverse orchid collection, very beautifully cared for cacti and succulents! Dont forget to bring your fancy camera if you have one!

Love this small conservatory the desert end is cool but not cool

Beautiful, squirrels are quite aggressive, but also aggressively cute!

Much better than I expected.

A fantastic place to visit if you have the chance.

Beautiful park with lots of room. People mostly obeying social distancing and wearing of masks.

So beautiful. We went in the morning during the week and it was very quiet. Well worth the visit. The ladies working there were both very helpful and sweet.

Beautiful small conservatory filled with amazing plants.$4.00 charge. Pay at the kiosk. Self-guided tour.

On the smaller side but well worth the $4 entry! Beautiful botanicals, I loved seeing the variety of cacti and other plants, and they had some festive decorations with a small train track in the center of one of the rooms. Great place to appreciate plants.

This place is a little slice of heaven. Outside of the conservatory itself, the entire park is stunning. Inside theres an entry fee of $4 for an adult and $2 for a child. The building and the plants are so magnificent that you dont ever know where to look. Take your time! The seemingly endless layers of textures and colors are awe inspiring. Very carefully curated. Theres a perfectly quaint little gift shop tucked into one side. Today they had an orchid sale. The people holding the sale were informative and friendly. The plants for sale were of excellent quality. There were only two very minor downsides. One is that the walkways inside are narrow which makes maneuvering wheelchairs and strollers a challenge. The second is that the little ticket machine is dated and takes a bit of patience. Regardless, it is still very worth the trip. I highly reccomend it.

Such a nice place. Beautiful plants and trees.

Great place to visit! I love coming here with the kids.

A great conservatory that is very well maintained with a helpful staff and incredible, beautiful specimens. Cheap to visit and with the trip!

Nice conservatory. Plants from many continents. Inexpensive admission Adults $4.

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 its still there with a very neat display of many plants we just dont get to know about on a regular day. The seasonal display is very cool, this time its the Christmas train! Thanks to all who make this happen!

Fantastic place to spend an hour with family. ️

Beautiful place to take a relaxing walk around and see all the different interesting and colourful plants and flowers.

Love very second being there. AmazingShould come here every season plants are changing all year around.Always surprised to see different flowers bloom.Wonderful place in Seattle

$4 entry. Small building with lots of interesting plants

A pleasant treasure any time of year. Beautiful selection of plants lovingly maintained and presented.

Nice collection of cactus and orchids. They have train set setup around Christmas so a fun place to visit for the kids.

Beautiful place some sculptures easy parking. Theres tennis places to read. Squirrels and ducks to feed. Top notch from the other Parks I visit.

Free admission until March 1, 2019 (and cheap admission otherwise) -- its a wonderful refuge from the PNW climate and color palette. They have succulents!

Splendid efforts to have a greenhouse collection, some rare Cactuses on display.

The Volunteer Conservatory is a affordable retreat from Seattles gloomy weather. Wether youd 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!

This has been a staple destination all my love, but once we learned about all their fun after hours events we joined. The outside and inside displays are equally wonderful! A gem not to be missed.

I so loved this place. Stunning!!!

A warm, lush place to escape the rain

Beautiful day for a visit. We really enjoyed our first time here. The cacti room was definitely one of my favorites.

Beautiful spot of sunshine on a cold day. Docents are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Great park near downtown Seattle with some incredibly views of the city.

I absolutely love this gem! Every time I visit, Im stunned by the amazing plants I somehow missed the visit before. Highly recommended - and its TOASTY inside!

A lovely conservatory!

Such a wonderful location in the middle of the city. Plants from all over the world which show great care and a little bit of the world in one location. Aesthetically pleasing and a good place to visit when you’re in the area.

Went here for LUSIO Lights and wow, that was an amazing time! I have always wanted to go to a place where plants were lit up in spectacular fashion.There were lights, light art, great people, and solid vibes.Will go back during the day for sure!Check out some of the sweet art that was there below!

My favorite conservatory I’ve been to! Very beautiful.

Great plants, some are freaky in their prehistoric appearances. The cacti collection is amazing and the orchids never fail to put on a show. Admission is reasonable and worth it.

They have a very various interesting plants inside the green house. very nice place to visit.

This was a beautiful, peaceful respite from an otherwise dull and rainy day. It is a good place to spend an hour admiring rare flowers and cacti. Volunteer Park is worth a visit when youre in Seattle, and the Conservatory should be part of the itinerary. Its also a good opportunity to fill your phone with so many pictures.

Favorite place to zen out and appreciate nature. Can’t wait to go back!

Wow, well maintained and beautiful flowers and green plants.

Gorgeous conservatory! I especially enjoyed the cactus room as well as their beautiful air plants.

By far my favorite place in Seattle

A great place to spend an hour or so on a chilly Seattle winter day. You will feel like you have stepped into the tropics for a little while.

Theres something different to experience each time you visit!

Beautiful conservatory and views from the water tower

Best $4 I’ve ever spent. Great selection for viewing.

Beautiful flowers and plants. Docebt was very kind and knowledgeable. Loved the little shop on the end.

Always gorgeous plants, really well maintained. Nice facility, really nice folks working there. Also, its in Volunteer Park, plenty of parking and great territorial views.

$4 per person fee was worth it.

Kind of small, but beautiful collection of plants. Its warm inside. Dont recommend strollers.

Absolutely a fun place to spend an hour or so to be amazed by the plant collection

Conservatory is worth the $4. Lots of beauty in there.Park is very well maintained with lots of grass and walkways and some peak a boos of the Space Needle and other downtown towers. Cant wait for the Museum to open!

Beautiful green house, with huge selection of plants, very tastefully and amazingly done all compositions, and because of Christmas, one whole room had a Christmas theme, I really enjoyed my visit.

Love the green house conservatory here :)

I love the volunteer park conservatory. Lovely place to spend some time, although gets busy on free days.

Nice place to take a walk

Wow was this place beautiful. So much to look at and learn about. So much information on plants. Theres even a gift shop where you can buy some plants. Loved visiting here. Such a nice surprise.

If you are a hor...ticulturist you will like it here. I feign interest for extended family sake, but appreciate the natural vibe.

One of Seattles gems, especially during the winter! I wish I could live here.

Gorgeous atmosphere, beautiful plants. A nice spot in the winter as it is pleasantly warm inside.

Beautiful place filled with unique and lovely plants. Very low entry fee, which was great. Had a wonderful visit!

Absolutely love this conservatory! Its 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!

An excellent park for hanging out at. Check out the Castle like tower with views of the city and surrounding areas. The museum of course is a must and if the conservatory greenhouse is open check out some incredible plants.

A real gem. Such a neat spot. A great place even on a rainy Seattle day.

Great collection and well maintained.

It is always fun here but make sure to check the time before you go. They close early and I didnt get a chance to come back for their corpse flower bloom.

It was ok. Smelled good from the flowers. Wouldnt bother again.

First thursday of the month its free at the conservatory. Park itself is free as is.

Gorgeous park in the city! Kids loved all the climbable trees. We came here for a light up art event.

Was free entrance today and kids had a blast!

Magnificent. A perfect rainy day destination.

I adore this conservatory. From the fresh air to the natural beauty, I always feel euphoric after a visit. I went to Lusio at the conservatory last night. Such a fun party.

Volunteer Park Conservatory is a nice place to visit and to see different kinds of plants growing.

My family loved this place. We are in town from Utah and had a wonderful time. So many beautiful flowers. Very cheap, for being there for an hour and a half. I would recommend this to all ages.

Been coming here for years, peaceful quiet atmosphere

A really nice getaway for plant lovers. Cacti area is pretty cool.

Excellent views. Wonderful place to hang out with a book or just to enjoy the sounds of nature

We were fortunate to find parking up front. Free parking also around the park. Facility takes a four dollar per person donation and uses a former parking meter to collect. Worth the price. Seasonal with displays so check it out as the plants are rotated. The green house is very clean but the pathways are encroached by beautiful fauna. Can get tight with wheelchairs and other patrons so plan accordingly.

Visited recently. Even though this is a small building it is beautiful inside and out. There are so many unique and gorgeous plants. A small per person fee for enhancing your day.
