Lincoln Park Conservatory is a Victorian Era glass house, built in late nineteenth century. It contains four rooms displaying exotic plants from around the world and it also grows the thousands of plants needed for use in the parks. There are four display houses: Palm House, Fern Room, Orchid House and Show House, which is home to the annual flower shows. Some have called it "A Paradise Under Glass" and it's exotic plans are so popular that in 1897, the Egyptian government asked the Conservatory for seeds of their water lilies flowers. If you're looking to embrace your inner botanist or just looking to escape and hustle and bustle of this busy city, Lincoln Park Conservatory is the perfect oasis.
