Stepping inside the conservatory is like being transported to paradise. A very humid, tropical one. The building itself is magnificently designed to accommodate the wealth of natural beauty inside. The giant water lilies were my favorite display. There is a small admission fee, but it is worth every cent and more. Make sure to pay a visit, especially on those fog warped, chilly San Francisco days. You will not be disappointed.

An amazing place to go see beautiful plants. Really enjoyed seeing all the different species. My wife and I started a small jungle in our house during Covid , it was really fun to see some of the plants we have in the conservatory! Since we are still in the pandemic, staff was great at making sure visitors were safe!

The most unusual and magical evening!Drive or take transit. Bike or walk. Just go! See the rain forest at night with a fabulous light display. Breathtaking! The employees could NOT have been nicer! We brought our 86 year old mother and we should have called ahead to learn about handicap accessible ramps. They even lent us a wheel chair to help get her to the car. Amazing welcome, great security, plant experts scattered throughout demonstrating and teaching, a heated food tent with drinks and a place to have a group of friends or visiting family over the holidays. A BEAUTIFUL and brilliant light display making a ho hum garden into an experience like that of a fantasy play or movie. Enchantment. Dont miss it.

I love coming here. Its like a tropical refuge chilly SF. Every inch inside is incredibly beautiful and the price isnt overwhelming. It always seems worth it - Im even considering a membership. The only thing I might like to improve are the signs detailing what each plant is, and maybe some interesting things about it

I love coming here!! Unfortunately it was closed today but online says it was open. Please check before going.

Such a beautiful place to sit down and chill. The Conservatory is closed currently but the surroundings are open.

I absolutely love the indoors of this place. The indoor botanical lab gives a feeling of going back to the 1800s London. It has an interesting feel in the atmosphere. Many beautiful flowers to check out and the variety is amazing. Good place for photography. Would definitely recommend coming here.

So many beautiful flowers, butterflys, and other insects. Be aware itll be humid inside but not excessive that you cant enjoy the sights and smells. You wont regret bringing a camera or having your phone free. Therell be plenty of opportunities to take pictures, selfies, and of course groupies amongst the beauty inside. Of course outside is spectacular as well, however during our visit they were replacing or grooming the plants and flowers and I didnt feel comfortable taking photos of the volunteers while they were working. In conclusion, lol, this will be worth the donation and your time!

Cool touristy thing to do for locals and tourists. The tropics have a lot of wonderful plants, flowers and orchids to admire. Plan of spending 20-45 mins unless you are a biology or botany geek or just like the tropics or are stuck with your girl/wife/significant other who loves flowers and plants and bug eating plants and all that. Kids friendly spot.

One of my favorite places in Golden Gate Park - especially the dahlia garden. Thank you Dahlia Society for your work to curate such beautiful flowers!

I attended Late Bloom at the Conservancy of Flowers. I wasnt sure what to expect but it was incredible and I would love to return during the daytime to compare experiences. The price was affordable and well worth it. I also appreciated the variety of neat gifts in the gift shop. I highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates plants!

Wonderful! The Night Bloom event was particularly lovely. Lots of folks taking in the sights and sounds and smells of this gem. Awesome photo-taking opportunity, and a great place to explore and unwind.

Beautiful conservatory! Two tropical rooms representing different geographical locales, and one temperate room which included plants such as orchids that grow in the cooler environment of the rainforest canopy. Very well crafted rooms and some really beautiful plants.

A lovely place to find exotic plants. Even more remarkable are the outdoor concerts and light shows at night late in autumn.

It is almost impossible to describe how sensational it is to be among these beautiful plants! It is almost like being transported out of the city into an exotic place. For those of us that eating to appreciate the beauty of the plants, were can, and, for those of us that want to learn something about than, we can do that also. Both the interior and the exterior (building and grounds) are a sight to behold! This is definitely a must-see in Golden Gate Park!

Such a cool place to go to! You enter and are hit with aromas from many different flowers. Albeit small, It has a vast collection of tropical plants, so that it feels like walking through a jungle at times. I’ve never seen so many different types of orchids and carnivorous plants at once!

One of the most well know areas in the GGP to relax and enjoy a day outside. The slopes are a great place to spread out a picnic blanket and relaxed afternoon. You can find parking on Fulton st or on one of the perpendicular streets which are about 10 to 15 mins walk from the conservatory.

This was a terrific treat! Wow we/I needed a beautiful distraction from the Covid! Mask wearing was not a distraction everybody was terrific with keeping healthy and safe.

I love this place. At the time you arrive, you feel great. Good place to have a great day without stress

Went here on a whim and found it was closed. It was still pretty outside. It started getting foggy though. Thats SF for you! The park around was surprisingly clean. No trash on the ground. Wish I could say the same for the city and residential area!

We went to check it out because it was walking distance from the museum. Good place to picnic but the greenhouse was a little much just to look around. Save your money and just sit in the grass and enjoy the front

The greenhouse garden is very beautiful, all kinds of orchids in the room are so beautiful, eye-opening️

What an incredible place to visit even if you have only a slight interest in plants! They have species from all around the world all in one place. I’ve never seen anything like this. They even have a tree that has been in the greenhouse for over 100 years. Check the website and they will update with the themes and types of plants in each season.

I havent been to the SF Conservatory of Flowers during the day, but we did go for their nighttime event in the winter season, Nightbloom. The flowers and plants were beautifully lit up! The lighting was really well done and extremely colorful. The lights gave a new perspective to viewing flowers. However, it was crowded inside (the aisles are narrow). Some people walked through quickly. One family even took photos almost like a photo shoot, holding up areas or getting in your view. As for the event itself, I would say it was managed ok. It felt kind of new, not thoroughly planned. The play area outside was not worth visiting and the shop was more like a mini booth. There werent many food choices. There was a grilled cheese stall that made the shop filled with smoke from the grill. Overall the conservatory was gorgeous and worth viewing/admiring. I give 5 stars because the main event (lit flower viewing) was beautiful and because there is a lot of good potential for the event to improve for next year.

Spectacular place to visit. Highly recommend it. Great flowers great nature spot very relaxing.

The amount of flowers and plants they have is amazing. If you visit the golden gate park you have to go. Its a great opportunity to appreciate and learn about nature. They have a small souvenir store too. It isnt that big but its beautiful!

One of my favorite places to go all year round. Reasonable entry fee, and beautifully kept plants. Also very picturesque inside and out!

Was really excited about going to the Conservatory of Flowers because I still thought they had their butterflies. My daughter loves butterfly’s and reason for us going, come to find out that closed a year ago. I should have looked on Google a little hard or called to find out. Overall it was nice.

An incredible place to indulge in se botanizing. Their highland / cloud forest room is amazing. They have beautiful collections of Orchids and Nepenthes.

Came here for night bloom. Was a great display of lights.They let you bring in drinks to the event. This was very enjoyable.

Beautiful park. So many people just enjoying the beautiful weather

One of my favorite places in GGP. The different ecological settings are fun to pass through.

This was an amazing garden. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Definitely a gem in a city that is also a beautiful gem. If you visit this city, I advise to take a peaceful walk through this park. I love it so much.

Wonderfull parks, I suggest you to have a few hours there,to rent,get bicycle,rollers,skateboard,ride arounds, beautiful old trees, flowers and small gardens. Sneakers and workout clothes are needed. Enjoy yourselves.

My family loves coming here. Theres something for every age group. And its a blast when they have special exhibits. Be sure to grab activity kits for the kiddos.

This place was so beautiful! I absolutely love botanical conservatories so this was right up my alley. There were a few different rooms, my favorite was the water based plants! So gorgeous, although my bf didn’t like that room because it’s extra humid in there. It was really nice to wander around in there and see all the different plants. There weren’t too many people either so I liked that as well!

Lovely time at night bloom! The gift shop was very cute and the bloom lounge had the best foods/drinks - sweet option with 3 mouthwatering cheesecakes and 3 sparkling wines vs. savory option with 3 artisanal grilled cheese sandwiches plus 3 whiskeys. Don’t miss the neon seesaws outside!

Love the new light and music display at the Conservatory of Flowers!

It was 1st Tuesday of the month and free. Beautiful flowers in a tranqil setting. Built in 1879, it is a unique place to visit.

Really enjoyed visiting this place. There are lot of lush green plants in a temperature controlled environment, Went on a week day, so parking was easy to find right in from conservatory of flowers on John F Kennedy drive. There is an entry fee of $9 but worth it. Liked several water flower plants. For added bonus Dahlias were blooming next to conservatory of flowers, which made the visit more satisfying.

This place is for those people who love plants. There are many varieties of plants including orchids, plenty of insect trap plants. They do have a gift shop as well. Entry fees around me 9 USD. The staff is very courteous and takes pain in trying to explain about the different plants.

I love this place! There are so many great flowers and plants to look at, and its very relaxing to walk around. I would come here all the time if I could! They also have plants for sale, too.

Check out the Dahlia exhibit! Be cautious though, during this shutdown, people are congregating in groups on the lawns! If you worry about germs, stick to the pavement and bring a mask.

Beautiful place to relax and have picnics outdoor. Wonderful selection of flowers.

Interesting place to visit, I love the green house itself a lot. Its like a Victorian style building.

Absolutely gorgeous for a small place. We took the group tour with a wonderful guide.Many different type of climates were emulated in such a small conservatory, kudos. The biodiversity they carry astounds me. Again, theyre punching above their own weight.They have a neat gift shop. Also several places seem set up to take photos - sweet.

This place is so pretty and very well maintained. It’s a great spot for flower lovers and great for taking photos as well.

I love this place! It’s so beautiful the fresh air. Surrounded by all sorts of flowers plants indoors and outdoors all around. Love it!

Great experience and wonderful guide. Loved the tranquility and peace when we visited. No a huge conservatory but well worth a visit.

If you love plants, specifically orchids, I would recommend this place. The variety of orchids is very nice. The conservatory is easy to get to. There is an entrance fee of $9. Worth the price with many photo opportunities.

It is a great historical greenhouse that has many exotic and peculiar plants. You can see Venus fly traps carnivores plants. Pitcher plants orchids and bromeliads. The people are very friendly and knowledgeable and I spent about a hour there. I definitely refined it if you are a plant enthusiast. However for not a knodgable people it may come across as boring. Really ur is a good place to go for anyone. They have a potted plant section and then ferns and the a aqautaic section.

A beautiful building with incredible flowers inside and out. Absolutely stunning. Well worth a visit if in Golden Gate Park.

So lovely place with many kind of succulents and exotic plants. I love all of that plants, because there are so strong to servive with hot, unwater condition and careless from gardener.

This place is magical ,very calming it makes feel relax and chill love it !

It has been 20 years since I visited the COF and its just like I remembered. If you only visit every 20 years, its certainly worth the $9 admission. Its not the kind of place I would visit more often, but if you are REALLY into plants, this must be a botanical paradise and definitely worth the admission fee. My group spent about an hour here and had a pleasant experience.

What a treat to come to this beautiful spa cr. Great date spot. Check them out when they have free days! An hour is a good time to spend here exploring all the plants they have available.

Beautiful place, worth the stop.

Heard that it is beautiful place.Since *Monday* is holiday, we couldnt visit.

Beautiful & warm tropical paradise in windy SF

$6 for SF residents. $9 for adults. Quaint but very diverse curation of plants. Great place to snap photos.

The architect itself already a piece of art

Very cool Victorian conservatory. It’s not very big, but there are still interesting rooms to walk through with tons of different plant species. If not a destination, it makes for a nice pit stop while walking through the park.

I just love the atmosphere and the nooks and crannies you can find to just relax and soak up the sun. Best spot for a picnic? The clearing right next to Fuchsia

Such a beautiful place! We spent about an hour or so walking through and seeing all the beautiful plants and flowers in bloom. The orchids were plentiful and almost all of the had beautiful flowers. The pitcher plants are absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait until my next visit to SF to check this place out again.

We travelled really far to visit the place. When we rushed to the door, it is 5:50 and we are not allowed to get in because the last ticket is just sold out and itll be closed at 6:30.On the website, they say admission is still allowed until 6:00pm so I dont know why there is the inconsistence between the door keeper and the website. Please review.

The Conservatory of Flowers is a gorgeous and unique piece of local history. Established more than 100 years ago, it has a striking array of unusual plant life. We visited for The Night Bloom exhibit, which is definitely worth checking out - and will undoubtedly return to see the daytime exhibit, as well.

Must see in San Francisco. Beautiful spot.

It might seem small but it is packed with vegetation. I came in at 4pm and there werent many people. Feels very relaxing.

Beautiful place! You can see all the flower and beautiful architecture! A good place to spend time with family and friends!

A small space but jam-packed with interesting plants and other finds. They have occasional evening events (21+) that are fun.

We spent almost two hours here and it was amazing! I love plants so much, so I really enjoyed this. It’s a great place to visit for any age or bring any out of town visitors. My only warning is that some of the rooms are quite hot and humid, so bring a hand fan if that will effect you. It’s also a great place to practice photography and take great shots of plants and some blooms - they don’t allow professional shoots so don’t bring any lights or tripods. I loved it! And I will be back again with friends and family:)

Night Bloom was well done, sound and vision excursion brings out details and highlights in the plants you dont normally see. Fun perceptual action.

A must-see while youre in San Francsico! Its located within the huge Golden Gate recreation park complex. Reserve a lot of time to visit as theres lots of interesting flowers from all over the world to see. Its a really relaxing way to spend and entire day.

One of my favorites spots in the city. I love sitting between the alleys of blossoming flowers.

A supey beautiful experience, both inside and out. Very relaxing to take a stroll through the flora of many different regions of the world. If youre super lucky, you might get to see the the Corpse Flower bloom or even just catch a beautiful sunrise or sunset (can be foggy most of the year). Outside is a lovely place for a picnic or a cute gathering amongst the flowers.

The Conservatory of flowers also know as “jardim botânico” in Portuguese is lovely, too much green surrounds you. The creates microclimate reminds Brazil or even rain forest, warm and humid. The ambience makes you feel somewhere calm, relaxing and the sounds of animals and bird make you wonder if you are in the jungle. HeheheMost of the plants have the note beside with its specie and origin.

Oddly this is now the most popular spot to go for a weekend social distance hang out. People are doing a good job of it here.

Amazing season for the light festival. Pack a coat and enjoy the show!

So beautiful. A must see for flower and plant lovers!

They are now reopen after 7 months of being closed

Bathrooms are immaculate. Very fresh smelling. Like gardenia.

A super beautiful greenhouse. Highly recommend to all!

So many incredible types of plants gathered in one place. Check out out on a free day.

A great Sunday visit! You can enjoy all the peaceful laziness on the gardens before entering the place. Busy on weekends but ticketing and entrance was pretty smooth. There is a great selection of plants from hifh to low, cold to hot climate. Also has a gift shop with interesting souvenirs. A must see!

Come here for the night light.

The garden is so attractive and colorful lovely

A medium sized building containing a variety of flowers. There are different sections: potted, highland, lowland, and aquatic. It can get warm in the building. It takes about 30 minutes to look at everything. Theres a gift shop that has nice gifts. A great place for tourists and locals alike.

Great nature experience right in an urban setting. Great for kids too. Wonderful staff.

The place was smaller than expected, but I still had an amazing experience while there. Their staff is very informed and will take the time to explain and answer any question you have. The gift shop also feels like its part of the garden. Something to definitely to do if in the area.

I absolutely loved the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco, California. The whole experience was mind blowing. We had so much fun. Not only were the flowers beautiful, bit on the lawn of the park there were people picnicking, playing musical instruments, a few were even strumming guitars and singing, children playing, people walking. It was a wonderful experience and I hated to leave. I want to go back right now!

This was by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been!! There were so many flowers of exotic origin. For any plant lover this is a dream! And a fantastic place to get some instagram shots for those of you who are on that social media grind! A for sure recommendation if your in the area and especially if your only in SF for the day!

Exceeded my expectations. Beautiful flowers in a layout that feels natural, and is very peaceful. Great place to take a date, family visiting from out of town, etc., especially on a foggy or rainy day. Showed up early and avoided the crowds which was nice.

Absolutely beautiful! If you love flowers this was is a must!

Beautiful little place. I love it here. Great place to shroom with Grandma.

Variations are impressive. Definitely must see!

If youre going, get tickets to Night Bloom and the Bloom Lounge-an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience! Best gourmet grilled cheese ever!Mostly inside, very comfortable. Parking is non-existent, better to Uber. Dont be late for tour time, youll be left out in the cold!

They have done a fantastic job with Night Bloom . Im only sorry I went on last night and couldnt tell people before.

This is a wonderful place to explore and learn about plant life, ecosystems and biodiversity. The docents are usually well versed in the areas they are showing and the staff has traditionally been top notch. If you are planning a trip to SF or if you live in or near this is a must see. They have seasonal exhibits so there is always something fun and new to see.

So many beautiful flowers and plants! Very friendly staff are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Cute little shop in the back with baby plants and souvenirs.*Great place to explore on a casual date night.*Local residents get a discount on daily tickets.

This place is joyful inside and out and one of the last remaining pure representations of San Francisco. it is inexpensive to gain entry and even if you dont go in it is delightful from the outside. inside, be ready for a slightly humid experience because it is, after all, a working Greenhouse with thousands of plants being grown inside. it is simply delightful and I believe once every few years they have the death plant blooming which is an entire party unto itself.if you are lucky enough to be around in the summer you dont even have to go inside to get an eyeful of amazement. since 2016, marking the 50th anniversary of The Summer of Love, there has been an unbeatable Outdoors light show, all summer, every night. I highly recommend it. it is gorgeous and completely worthwhile and free. dont be afraid to roam the park at night. it is one of the last San Francisco enjoyment that is still free and fun to do with your friends. There is some disabled parking in the front and there are parking lots to the side there are bathrooms on either side of the conservatory.UPDATE!!Night BloomA light and sound experienceDecember 2 - January 6, 2019Preview Party | November 30Step into a world unlike any other in Night Bloom, a nighttime exhibition debuting at the Conservatory of Flowers this winter.
