FREE Storytime for Kids on the FRONT LAWN!
The FOC is offering free or low-cost activities intended for our younger visitors the same day that Conservatory entry is free - the first Saturday of every month!
Plan a free monthly visit to the Conservatory and enjoy activity time with Friends.
Drop in for storytime. It starts at 10:30 am in the Priebe Wing and lasts until 11:30 am. There will be a 15 minute break in the middle.
Access the Priebe Wing by walking down the East Drive (to the right of the Conservatory) and back behind the building.
In July we enjoyed live music in the Seasonal House by TROOMS! In August, we're offering storytime in the Priebe Wing. Future activities include coloring, origami, create-your-own terrarium, and more! Let the Friends host you once a month for some family time that you don’t have to plan. Free parking in Volunteer Park - so easy!
