Central Ohio’s culinary creativity is on display in the Grand Atrium as the 14th annual Gingerbread Competition returns to Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
This year's theme is “Inspired by the Conservatory” in honor of the 125th anniversaries of the John F. Wolfe Palm House and Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. Peruse these creations in person through December 31, 2020 and vote on Best of Show. If you want to enjoy the display from home, a gallery is provided below.
During the month of December, the Conservatory is open for General Admission from 10am-4pm. General Admission includes access to our seasonal horticulture displays, Holiday Blooms and the Gingerbread Display. Visitors can also view the Gingerbread Display during Conservatory Aglow, which is 5-9pm each evening. The Conservatory is open 10am–5pm on December 24 and closed on December 25.
