Spanning two acres of lush indoor display glasshouses kept at a balmy 70 degrees, the annual Winter Flower Show showcases hundreds of vibrant holiday poinsettias in crimson, peach, pink, and white, alongside fragrant citrus blossoms, towering palms, exotic orchids, and festive evergreen topiary displays. The conservatory provides a peaceful, stroller-friendly sanctuary where infants and young children can explore verdant botanical gardens and koi ponds without freezing wind chill. Children can participate in interactive discovery carts and self-guided plant scavenger hunts. Admission is free for Chicago residents (with advance online timed reservation), making it a treasured indoor holiday outing. ## Similar picks in Chicago - [ART on THE MART: Winter Holiday Projections](https://grassyknees.com/chicago/activities/art-on-the-mart-winter-holiday-projections--listing-2d5c605da7d90b1f79b64cde) — Nov 19 – Dec 27 · 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM · The Chicago Riverwalk (between Wells & Franklin St) · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
