Bring learning to life at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. School groups from Pre-K through high school enjoy active learning experiences with native and exotic plants, insects, birds, science, the environment and the arts that correlate to ODE Academic Content Standards.
School and youth groups are invited to visit the Conservatory as long as they remain in compliance with the new health and safety procedures. Groups must be 10 people or fewer, with at least 1 adult per every 9 children. If your group size is larger than 10, you must divide into smaller groups during your visit. Groups must also comply with all other Conservatory visitation procedures. See the Know Before You Go page.
Onsite Educator led programs are available for booking following the 10 person maximum per group. Can’t travel to the Conservatory? Virtual school programs will be offered starting in August 2020! Check back soon for more details.
