Community Calendar

Community Day is the first Sunday of every month. Residents of Columbus and Franklin County receive free General Admission. Identification is required. Community Days include access to the entirety of our gardens and collections and current daytime exhibitions. Admission to Special Engagements (Chihuly Nights, Pumpkins Aglow, Conservatory Aglow) is not included.

All aboard! The Paul Busse Garden Railway is arriving at the Conservatory station.

Guests can journey with the trains through a miniature world of 51 botanical models made from all-natural plant material. Special elements to add to your itinerary include an enchanted tree hollow, two waterfalls, a bubbling brook and plantings specific to each themed destination.

This season, the Conservatory sparkles with dazzling new displays indoors and out. Stroll through thousands of lights, from a whimsical penguin village and glowing boxwood house to a life-sized Candyland board game and projected winter scenes. The Ahlum & Arbor Arctic Terrace expands with more games like curling!

In addition, new rentable igloos with food and drinks will be available to reserve in the Bonsai Courtyard.

Returning favorites include the 100-foot light tunnel, ornament tree with 1,400 ornaments, a lively Dance Party and eight glowing igloos filled with seasonal fun.
