Edit2: super friendly staff sent me a replacement and a couple free admission tickets!! Thank you! ------ Edit: the original review was a 5-star for the observatory but I took 1 star off because I bought a souvenir from the gift shop that came with nothing (mini pop-up card that came with just an empty envelope, not the actual card). My bad that I didn't open the package to check, but was upset the empty packet was even there. So $5 down the drain. So make sure you check your package before you pay! Original review--- We come late November so some of the outdoor space were understandably closed down. However the tropic house is a must see. The observatory is very beautiful and very informative. Definitely recommended if you come into Fort Wayne.
Beautiful place my 1st visit here. Well worth the trip and downtown traffic. Highly recommend
I found it to be a fun trip for a low cost of admission. They have rotating exhibits of a lot of plant species (at least 100), many of which are rare and non-native. You can explore the whole place in roughly 2 hours with a steady pace (and pictures). It is a great place for a date. I suggest supporting this local conservatory yourself with your visit (I won't spoil with too many images).
Unfortunately I was disappointed. The plantings at the entrance are quite nice, but I found much of the conservatory space, especially the desert, really underwhelming. There were a small handful of interesting plant combinations, but I was in, out and done within 25 minutes. I’ve visited scores of botanical gardens across the country and managed public gardens for over 25 years. This one is not a true destination, but if you’re a gardener visiting Fort Wayne, it may entertain you for a bit. As a botanic garden director, I’m also going to call out the management here. Aside from the wonderful young woman at the front desk, the employees were not friendly or helpful- mostly short and taciturn. Several were blasting loud music while working on a project atop one of the conservatory buildings, disrupting any peace and enjoyment to be found in the gardens. I don’t know of any garden leadership that would allow this. There are gardens you return to over and over like a good book. Sadly, this for me, isn’t one.
It was such a nice experience that I recommend ! I loved the first garden we went through which was like a fairy like theme. Then we went to the tropical one and it was cool to feel the what difference! We went through a bit of the desert one but some of it was under construction.
