I loved my visit to the Phipps Conservatory - each room was laid out so beautifully, often with glass sculptures and other art installations mingling with the plantings.

There will never be enough times you can visit this beautiful and unique place. You can really take your time and self-tour so many different exhibits throughout the building. What’s even more incredible is the dedication that is readily apparent throughout each room. You can clearly tell that much thought and effort has been put into making this as beautiful as it is. 100% recommend for a therapeutic, relaxing and fun time.

Very beautiful and large place, mainly indoors but I would recommend going on a nicer day so you can get the full experience of the outer section as well. If you’re a plant lover, you will absolutely love this place. There’s a lot selection of plants and trees. There were little signs that have information about what you were looking about, and fun facts about them. During our visit there were a lot of exhibits that were closed because they were working on them. The first look inside was breath taking. If you’re visiting Pittsburgh you definitely have to visit this spot !
