Krohn Conservatory features special exhibits and classes. Open 365 days of the year from 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with extended hours during special shows and events. Admission is free, but donations are welcome, as are volunteers. Some special events, such as The Butterfly Show, do charge admission.
Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park is itself architecturally significant, having been built in 1933 at the height of the charming Art Deco era. But it’s what inside those aluminum and glass walls that make Krohn Conservatory truly special.
You’d have to travel a good distance from Cincinnati to visit a rainforest and a desert – or come to Krohn Conservatory, Cincinnati Parks’ nationally recognized showcase of more than 3,500 plant species from around the world.
Our “world” changes throughout the year with special exhibits and programs, including the ever-popular springtime “Butterfly Show,” where thousands of butterflies are let loose in a specially-themed garden. But you can always visit the rainforest waterfall and exotic plants on permanent display in the Palm, Tropical, Desert and Orchid houses.
The Visitor Center for Cincinnati Parks is located in the lobby of Krohn Conservatory. The Visitor Center receives and responds to inquiries about Cincinnati Parks as well as Krohn Conservatory, and makes Parks-related brochures available in the lobby kiosk. The Visitor Center is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
