The Lincoln Park Conservatory (1.2 ha / 3 acres) is a conservatory and botanical garden located at 2391 North Stockton Drive, next to the Lincoln Park Zoo, in Chicago, Illinois. It is open daily; admission is free.
The Lincoln Park Commission first established a greenhouse in 1877 and planted an adjacent formal garden in 1880. Today's conservatory was built in stages from 1890-1895, to designs by Joseph Lyman Silsbee and M. E. Bell, and consists of four halls:
* Palm House - giant palms and rubber trees, with a 15 m (50 ft) fiddle-leaf rubber tree planted in 1891
* Fernery - plants of the forest floor, primarily ferns
* Tropical House - flowering trees, vines, and bamboo
* Show House - seasonal flower exhibits
