Tours for Adults

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Edwardian-style glass Conservatory, built in 1929, houses a botanical collection of more than 3,000 plants. Enjoy a rich atmosphere of flora and fauna throughout three indoor showrooms, including a Mediterranean, Tropical, and Desert room. Urban outdoor gardens surround this city escape. We welcome you to visit this hidden oasis.

We offer two types of tours:

  • Tours of the Oak Park Conservatory last approximately 1 hour.
  • The Historic Home and Garden Tour lasts approximately 3.5 hours and includes visits to Oak Park Conservatory, Cheney Mansion, and Pleasant Home.
