Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Returning this fall, the Botanical Garden landscapes and containers will be transformed with thousands of pumpkins, chrysanthemums, exquisite cabbages, and more. Harvest Blooms opens on September 26.

The Cardinal Health Gallery will transform into an immersive space where guests can experience the positive link between nature and our health. Broken into four sections, the exhibition will highlight the four pillars of the North Star Master Plan: Preserve, Inspire, Create, and Cultivate.

The Paul Busse Garden Railway features 9 G scale model trains that travel across 1,122 feet of track through themed destinations: Fairytale Land, Wild West Town, European Travels and the animal-centric Who Lives Here. Guests can journey through a miniature world of 51 botanical models made from all-natural plant material, including an enchanted tree hollow, two waterfalls, and a bubbling brook.
