About this adventure
The day after Thanksgiving, Franklin Park Conservatory sets up a gingerbread station in the Wells Barn: families take a short fall walk to the barn and build a mini house from graham crackers, icing and candy. Each $10 reservation covers one house kit, so a family sharing one house needs one reservation and a group wanting a kit per child books one per kit; at least one reservation is required. Reservations open Monday, October 26 at 11 a.m., and general admission to the Conservatory must be bought separately for the same day (the page walks through adding both to one cart). The drop-in window runs late morning to mid-afternoon, and families are welcome to tour the gardens before or after.
