I love this place. It had a reasonable cover charge. It has so many wonderful plants and waterfalls. It definitely is a must see in Cincinnati.

What a great place this is. Meticulously maintained. Something different to do with your family and friends. Plus in years passed, I loved the butterfly exhibit. How cool to see all of the beautiful butterflies. I highly recommend it if you havent been and it might be time to re-visit if you have been before.

Awesome plants for sale. And the nice plant lady even gave us a few clippings off a plant we were admiring. Love this place. It was really warm with masks so prepare yourself.

Great place to go on a rainy day. The while Eden park is neat. If I liked plants more maybe I would give the conservatory a higher rating, but it was just like walking through the woods, just shorter.

I went here for their Plum Gorgeous event and I must say it was a delight. I really enjoyed the stream wandering through the plants and the fish that called it home. Will definitely go again.

This place was really nice. Plenty of vegetation to look at and take photos of. It was a little warm and humid in there the day we went, but that comes with the territory. Hopefully you’ll enjoy your visit as much as us!

WOW! This botanical garden is one of the best Ive seen. Huge healthy tropical plants that you would never see outside of this greenhouse. Even if youre not all that interested in plants you HAVE to see this place the desert section blew me away!

First time Ive been to the Bloom & Grow exhibit. I really enjoyed it! Beautifully done, and the aroma is amazing! There is something of interest there for all ages. Its a great place to ward off the winter blues and refresh your senses.

One of my absolute favorite places to visit in Cincinnati. The rooms are large and gorgeous. The majority of the flora is labeled. Ive visited them for both their Christmas display as well as their butterflies and both were a magical experience. There are plenty of places to sit within the conservatory to relax for a little while and enjoy the scenery. This is an excellent place to visit if you have a love for flowers or nature in general. Best of all, the tickets are very affordable and they usually have a $1 off coupon on their website that you can use.

The Christmas display that they had was really nice. They had replicas of many places that Cincinnati is known for. A couple of my favorites were Union Terminal and the Mt. Adams Incline. They had replicas of most of our bridges too that were above everyone and had trains going back and forth across them. Theres also a pond area that has some of the biggest, most beautiful Goldfish that Ive ever seen.

I go to Krohn Conservatory twice a year. The greenhouses are beautiful and relaxing. The staff are friendly, helpful, and keep the place clean. A beautiful tropical escape from all the worries of my busy life.

Was a great visit. We went to see the annual butterfly exhibit that Krohn Conservatory puts on every spend. My daughter loves seeing the butterflies. I am amazed by their bonzi tree collection and room full of cacti. Overall it was a great place too see all kinds of plants not commonly found in these parts.

Lovely place, somewhere nice to go and relax and take in a the sights and smells of a tropical environment when you cant actually visit a tropical environment! Lol I would love to go back, the cost of entry was only 4 dollars. I managed to stumble on this place during the orchid show. It was fun.

Beautiful! No senior discounts but admission is a Reasonable $10 per person. My only recommendation would be to offer adults only days. We had the misfortune of being there same day a bus load of kids was there. Lots of squeals, mom, mom, mom and mom forgot her name apparently...as well as a couple kids who werent keen on having butterflies landing on them leading to cries or shrieks. Despite all that Im sure we got some good photos and it was amazing!

This is a place relaxing for adults and exciting for kids. Inexpensive. Parking is scattered if you want close get there at opening. Their butterfly exhibit is something to entertain the kids and distract them all in one. Plants waterfalls all gorgeous. If you are a photographer there are plenty of different types of photos you can capture here !!

Beautiful holiday displays. Fun for kids, model trains run throughout. They do a great job at taking the year round display and adding to it for the holidays. Great place to take kids and let them enjoy for an hour or two.

I was not expecting to pay, as all other conservatories I have been to have been free. It was also rather small. It was a decent place to go, and I would suggest someone that has never been to one go. But if you have visited a conservatory? Save your time and money. It is just an average visit.

Love this place. My 92-year old father who rarely wants to go anywhere perked up and said This Krohn is a gem. We agree. A great day today and the park was vibrant and bustling. The holiday displays are awesome. Well done, Krohn.

Review №25

The space was quite beautiful, loads of incredible plant life . However the intrigue and awe of the space was quickly diminished by the awful customer service I received .As a young creative person I was interested in applying and paying for a photo permit . Happily willing to do all of the proper procedures to make my vision for a photo shoot come to life . I was then confronted with the least friendly and accommodating customer service representative. It was as if she had no interest or concern into my questions and my inquiry .After quite a few rolled eyes my questions were answered and by that time my interest turned into frustration and disgust . $150 photo permit , no lights , no equipment... not sure why I’d pay for that .. and I’m not sure if I’ll ever return .Moral of the story bring a camera , don’t ask for permission and hope for the best .

Oh what plants to see. Its well kempt and always a great display. I about you have to love horticulture to see the attention they give to there work here. I came for the Christmas display and it always is a treat to see the details that are thought of. Come here to learn and look up there website for their special showcases. The butterflies are popular, but surprises in are always around the corner.

Beautiful displays, but you can literally walk the whole thing within 10 minutes. It doesnt have alot and I think $7.00 for whats being offered is a bit steep.

One of my favorite places to visit in the winter. I love being able to experience plants and nature in an indoor environment where I don’t have to deal with the crummy Ohio weather. I love how diverse the ecosystems are and they always have great programs and exhibits all year long.

We love going to khron for a day trip or a nice relaxing date. Theres always plenty of new and old displays, so many beautiful kinds of plants, and almost always a kids activity area. Staff is always super friendly and its an amazing getaway in downtown that you can easily spend hours in, viewing or relaxing. All in the name of conservation which is just amazing! And admission is generally only 10 dollars :)

Its fine. I dont know if I just wasnt in the Christmas spirit when we went, but it didnt leave a lasting impression. The only thing that did last was the sting of the cost. Was nice to take the kids to. Once. Dont think Ill be compelled to go again.

Review №49

$150 for a photo permit to take pictures inside but free if you use your camera phone? Totally absurd. Most of the exhibits were closed and there is already an entrance fee. Staff gave vague reasons such as, other people will want to take photos. Isnt that kind of the point? I was not blocking any exhibits or causing any delays.

There will be changing exhibits throughout the seasons but all are great. The size of the place is not as large as others but the details in each exhibit should keep you occupied for hours if you take your time. You should visit and make it a tradition like the many people who make it one now.

Review №63

Loved this place. Great fun for kids - the whole family - and adults alike. They were having the butterfly show when we went and it was delightful. The butterflies would land on kids, adults, pieces of paper the staff handed out, and often were content to stay on your finger or other object while you admired their beauty. The variety of plants and the conservatory climate were absolutely delightful and entertaining from an adults perspective and well worth the visit. And to top in off, Eden Park itself is huge with lots of attractions for anyone. A very delightful day out at one of Cincys historic parks. Highly recommended.

I went to see the Christmas display and it was fantastic! There were many famous landmarks created from natural materials, trains, and even an elf scavenger hunt throughout the conservatory. Beautiful orchids and trees. A waterfall with a tunnel behind it. This is a fantastic little trip for the whole family.

Beautiful flowers, fruit trees, and cacti. The butterfly exhibit is magical. Ive only been during winter and once this summer. It is magical during Christmas too with the poinsettias everywhere too. Definitely a pleasant, reasonably priced family attraction year round. Right near a bunch of nice parks good for BBQ.

Krohn Conservatory is a Cincinnati icon. Going there for a visit never fails to lift the spirits. There are 3 main rooms that include a succulent garden, beautiful orchids, an amazing bonsai display, and lush tropical plants complete with waterfall! Year round it is a cozy place to visit. The special display room is always a treat, with exhibits like butterflies from around the world or a holiday train display complete with Cincinnati buildings created from natural materials like leaves and seeds! If the weather is nice there is plenty more to see and do in Eden Park!

Amazing observatory, as someone who enjoys plants and nature many of the plants here are very fascinating and beautiful. With a large variety of plants from all over the world anyone with a green thumb would love it here! My only complaint is that when I visited they had the butterfly exhibit but it was very crowded! There were a lot of kids which I love to see interacting with nature but I feel like there should have been a limit on people. Some of the people didn’t have much respect for the butterflies but there’s only so much you can do :(. Thank you for the lovely time though!!

Me and kelley went to visit museums in the Cincinnati area because we came back in town visiting after we decided to move to Myrtle Beach. my mother and him moved a couple years ago I moved a couple weeks ago and wanted to enjoy a couple of museums and we walked into this one it supposedly close at 5 and the lady that came to the door couple minutes later after we are asking for somebody to help she was very rude and then we asked if she knew any other local museums that were open she looked at us all snobby and said the parks open... Lmao wow what a great experience!

Train displays and fairy houses throughout. Cincinnati historic places immortalized in tree wood displays in main house. Stable of the nativity outside. Absolutely Cincinnati and Christmas all in one. Perfect for all 3 generations that went. Something for everyone!!!

Review №93

They have some neat plants but overall there were a lot of local plants. Considering they charged a $4 entrance fee I admit I was expecting a little more. The bicycle theme was cute and added color. Its probably something you could add as an activity to do in addition to something else in town, as we only spent maybe 20 minutes walking around, but I wouldnt necessarily go out of my way to recommend it as a top activity must do.
